We tried the smoked queso trend from TikTok and stirred in taco-bar toppers. For a less indulgent, vegan take, try the stir-together salsa instead. It's got everything but the meat and dairy.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces ground beef
  • 8 ounces Italian sausage
  • 0.5 cups red onion
  • 0.5 cups red bell pepper
  • 1 jalapeno pepper , seeded and minced
  • 1 10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles , such as RO*TEL®
  • 8 ounces pasteurized cheese product , such as Velveeta®
  • 1 package cream cheese , 8-ounce
  • 8 ounces Pepper Jack
  • 0.75 cups salt added canned black beans , rinsed and drained
  • 0.5 cups frozen corn
  • 0.75 cups diced avocado
  • 0.25 cups sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet on a grill grate over a fire. You can also preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (375 degrees F to 400 degrees F (190 degrees C to 200 degrees C)) .

  2. 2

    Add beef, sausage, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño to the skillet. Cook, stirring to break up lumps, until meat is browned, about 8 minutes. Pour off grease.

  3. 3

    Uncover skillet; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted and bubbly, 2 minutes more.
