Warm Chipotle, Chorizo, and Cheddar Dip

1. 1

   Add sausage to the bowl of a food processor; process until it is finely chopped.

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix the cheese, cornstarch, and sausage together; set aside.

3. 3

   In a saucepan, combine the beer, lemon juice, and chipotle; bring to a simmer over medium heat.

4. 4

   Add in the cheese-sausage mixture, a handful at a time, stirring until melted and incorporated with the beer before adding the next handful (may take a few minutes).

5. 5

   If necessary, use a whisk to make sure the cheese is well blended.

6. 6

   Transfer to a fondue pot and keep warm over a low flame.

7. 7

   Serve with tortilla chips on the side.

8. 8

   **the chorizo sausage used here is the precooked type that is sold in links; if you would like to use fresh chorizo, skip the food processor step and just saute it, breaking it up with the back of a spoon, until completely cooked; let it cool before adding it to the cheese.

9. 9

   *if the cheese binds up and wont incorporate with the liquid, add another tablespoon lemon juice; the extra acid will help the cheese blend with the other ingredients.
