Queso

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Chips

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cut corn tortillas into triangles and fry them in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Queso

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine Velveeta cheese, cream cheese, salsa, diced jalapeños, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until melted and smooth.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Serve the warm queso with the homemade tortilla chips on the side.
