Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chips

    Open the bag of tortilla chips and pour them into a serving bowl. Ensure the chips are evenly distributed for easy access.

Queso

  1. 2

    Melt the Cheeses

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the Velveeta cheese and cream cheese. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth.

  2. 3

    Add Salsa and Spices

    Once the cheeses are melted, stir in the salsa, ground cumin, and chopped jalapeños. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently until everything is well combined and heated through.

  3. 4

    Serve Queso

    Transfer the queso to a serving bowl and keep warm until ready to serve.

Salsa

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salsa

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, finely chopped onion, and chopped cilantro. Mix well to combine.

  2. 6

    Season the Salsa

    Add lime juice and salt to the tomato mixture. Stir well and adjust salt to taste. Let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 7

    Serve Salsa

    Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and serve alongside the chips and queso.
