Cheese Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Cheese Base

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend until smooth and creamy.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    To the cheese mixture, add the sour cream, pickled jalapeños, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Mixture

    Transfer the cheese mixture to a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously to prevent sticking and ensure even melting. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is warm.

Serving

  1. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the queso is melted and creamy, remove it from heat. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro and chopped green onions. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.
