Lobster & Spinach Queso

Tortilla Chips

Method

Lobster & Spinach Queso

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Base

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the cream cheese and allow it to soften. Stir continuously until it becomes smooth.

  2. 2

    Add the Cheeses

    Gradually mix in the sharp cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Continue stirring until all the cheese is melted and well combined.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Spinach and Lobster

    Add the chopped spinach and lobster meat into the cheese mixture. Stir until the spinach is wilted and all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Add the minced garlic, diced jalapeño (if using), lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and transfer the queso to a serving bowl. Serve warm with house cut tortilla chips.

Tortilla Chips

  1. 6

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Cut the corn tortillas into triangle shapes to form chips.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  3. 8

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

  4. 9

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt.

  5. 10

    Serve

    Serve the tortilla chips alongside the Lobster & Spinach Queso.
