Cheese Mixture

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Gather Ingredients

    Collect all the ingredients listed above and ensure they are measured accurately.

  2. 2

    Soften Cream Cheese

    Place the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 15-30 seconds until soft and spreadable.

  3. 3

    Grate Cheeses

    Grate the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses if not pre-grated. This will help them melt more easily.

  4. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In the bowl with softened cream cheese, add the grated cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, diced green chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  5. 5

    Combine Well

    Stir all the ingredients together until well combined and smooth. You can use a spatula or a hand mixer for a creamier texture.

  6. 6

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

  7. 7

    Serve Warm

    Transfer the queso to a serving bowl and serve warm with tortilla chips or as a topping for nachos.
