The Best Dip Ingredients
Options for dip ingredients are honestly limitless and you can never go wrong with something cheesy, creamy, spicy or flavorful!
My favorite cheeses to use are:
- Monterey Jack
- Pepper Jack
- Aged Gouda
- Parmigiano Reggiano
- Crumbled Blue Cheese
My favorite toppings are:
- Avocado
- Crumbled Bacon (fresh or bacon bits)
- Sauteed Onions
- Sour Cream
- Hot Sauce
As long as you’re not scared of a little flavor you will love this dish! And if you are feel free to make a side plate filled with toppings for friends and family to enjoy while you keep it simple with the chorizo, cauliflower and cheese combination. Serve it with some veggies, pork rinds and flackers and you are good to go!
Our Favorite One Skillet Meals!
As of late, we have been meal prepping a lot more due to travels and hectic schedules. While we prefer to cook every meal if possible sometimes we just need something quick, delicious and macro friendly to whip up for a couple days to a week, and this is the perfect recipe. It has fatty chorizo, hearty cauliflower, and creamy, delicious cheese! It also takes under 15 minutes to make and is really easy clean up. Some of our other favorite one skillet is keto egg roll in a bowl and our chili with bacon!
Low Carb Chorizo Dip
All the recipes we make and share with you are highly customizable to your and your families taste preference. I would personally swap out the cauliflower for broccoli since cauliflower causes me to bloat and I would definitely add in some onion and bacon to top. You could technically take this one meal and make a simple change each time turning it into an entirely new chorizo dip for your family to enjoy!
