  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb chorizo sausage
  • 1 white onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
  • 16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed

  • 1 tsp cumin

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and chorizo until fully cooked, about 8 minutes; drain excess grease.
