Queso Blanco Ingredients

Method

Queso Blanco Directions

1

Prepare the Cheese

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

2

Add Milk

Pour in the milk and stir well to combine. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

3

Incorporate Flavors

Once the cheese is melted and smooth, add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, and jalapeño (if using). Stir well to combine.

4

Season and Serve

Add salt to taste and stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve warm with tortilla chips or fresh veggies for dipping.
