Queso Deretido Ingredients

Method

Queso Deretido Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Mixture

    In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine Monterey Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, and cream cheese. Mix them together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Liquid Ingredients

    Pour in the milk and sour cream into the cheese mixture. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Flavorings

    Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, chopped jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Heat the Mixture

    Transfer the mixture to a medium saucepan over low to medium heat. Stir continuously to prevent the cheese from burning on the bottom.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Continue stirring until all the cheeses are melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure there are no lumps.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the queso is fully melted and creamy, remove from heat. Serve hot with tortilla chips for dipping.
