Queso Ingredients

Method

Queso Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Mixture

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cream cheese, and milk. Stir continuously until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is smooth.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Once the cheese is melted, add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, ground cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Stir until everything is well combined.

  3. 3

    Season to Taste

    Add salt and pepper to taste. If the queso is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the queso to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve warm with tortilla chips or your favorite dipping items.
