Notes

Cook the Chorizo Thoroughly: Make sure to fully cook the chorizo before adding it to the dip. Not only does this ensure it's safe to eat, but it also helps to release its flavorful fats and spices.

Cube the Cheese: Cutting the Velveeta into small cubes before adding it to the crockpot will help it melt more evenly and quickly.

Stir Regularly: Stir the dip every now and then while it's in the crockpot. This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the cheese from burning on the bottom.

Adjust the Heat: The spiciness of the dip can be easily adjusted by altering the amount of chipotle peppers and green chilies. Start with less if you're unsure, you can always add more later.

Use a Food Processor: Use a food processor to chop the chipotle peppers and green chilies. It's quicker and you'll get a more consistent result than chopping by hand.

Keep it Warm: If you're serving this at a party, keep the crockpot on the "warm" setting to keep the dip melty and delicious throughout the event.

Garnish Before Serving: Add a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime, or some diced tomatoes on top before serving to add color and freshness.
