Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Mixture

    In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the White American cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese. Cut the cheeses into smaller chunks to help them melt evenly.

  2. 2

    Add Milk and Seasonings

    Pour in the milk, and add the diced green chilies, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Mixture

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Fresh Cilantro

    Once the queso is smooth, remove it from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro. This will add a fresh flavor to your queso blanco.

  5. 5

    Serve Warm

    Transfer the queso blanco to a serving bowl and serve warm with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
