Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
½ cup chopped onion
-
1 poblano chile pepper, chopped
-
1 tablespoon Fajita Seasoning Blend, divided
-
½ teaspoon sea salt, divided, optional
-
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or white rice flour

2 cups whole milk, warmed

Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F. In medium skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onions, pepper, 1 teaspoon Fajita Seasoning Blend and ¼ teaspoon salt, if desired. Sauté until softened, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in flour; cook 1 minute. Whisk in milk; bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Stir in cream cheese, 1 cup shredded cheese, remaining 2 teaspoons Fajita Seasoning Blend and ¼ teaspoon sea salt, if desired. Cook until smooth, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat. Stir in pico de gallo. Transfer to a greased cast-iron skillet or 2-quart serving dish. Set aside.
In large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble chorizo until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on clean paper towels. Sprinkle crumbles over queso in skillet. Top with remaining 1 cup shredded cheese.
Bake 20 minutes or until bubbly and cheese on top is melted and nicely browned. Serve warm with chips.
