Queso Blanco Ingredients
Method
Queso Blanco Directions
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.
Add Milk
Pour in the milk and stir well to combine. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
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.
Season and Serve
Add salt to taste and stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve warm with tortilla chips or fresh veggies for dipping.
