1 cup KRAFT Mexican Style Finely Shredded Four Cheese
5 Tbsp. butter, melted, divided
1 Tbsp. flour
2 pkg. (8.5 oz. each) corn muffin mix

Use back of spoon to evenly spread batter onto bottom of pan, then drag tip of spoon around center of batter to make shallow well. Spoon chorizo mixture into well. Cover with remaining batter, spreading batter to sides of pan to completely cover chorizo mixture.

  • Spoon remaining sour cream into resealable plastic bag. Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag; use to drizzle sour cream over cake. Serve warm.
