Ingredients

- 1 block (250 g) cream cheese

- 2 oz (55 g) dry chorizo sausage, cut into small dice
- 3 tbsp pumpkin seeds, coarsely chopped

- In a glass bowl, soften the cream cheese in the microwave oven for 1 minute or until very soft and slightly melted, stirring halfway through cooking. Add the sour cream. Season lightly with salt. Whisk until smooth. Refrigerate while you prepare the rest of the dip.
- In a small skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo, pumpkin seeds and green onions in the oil for 5 minutes or until golden. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
- In the skillet off the heat, add the cilantro and mix well. Let cool.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture out along the bottom of a shallow serving dish, making decorative waves in the surface with a spoon. Top with the chorizo mixture. Drizzle with the chorizo cooking oil, letting it fall between the waves. Garnish with the pepperoncini slices. Serve with corn chips.
