Queso Diablo Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Mixture

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the Monterey Jack cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and cream cheese. Stir continuously until the cheeses are melted and well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Peppers

    Once the cheese is melted, add the roasted red peppers and jalapeños to the cheese mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Season the Queso

    Sprinkle in the garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Milk

    Gradually pour in the milk while stirring the queso. This will help achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Adjust the amount of milk as necessary to reach your desired thickness.

  5. 5

    Heat Through

    Continue to cook the queso over low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is warmed through and creamy.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve warm with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
