Ingredients
  

1 can (10 oz) Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, drained

1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1 cup cooked chorizo sausage (or ground beef for a milder flavor)

1 cup sour cream

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the cooked chorizo or ground beef and cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

      Pour in the drained Rotel tomatoes and stir until well incorporated.

        Add the sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin into the mixture, and continue to stir until everything is combined and heated through, about 5 minutes.
