Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 300 degrees F / 149 degrees C.
- Mix all the ingredients into an oven-safe container.
- Place the container into the air fryer basket and air fry for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
- When the dip is hot and bubbly, remove it from the air fryer.
- Serve warm with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Select an oven-safe container that will hold all of the ingredients and fit inside of your air fryer.
- If you prefer white queso dip, select white cheddar.
- Canned tomatoes with green chiles come in a variety of heat levels and some even have onion powder, or garlic powder added to them. If you can’t find Mexican tomatoes you can use regular canned tomatoes and add canned green chiles, garlic powder, and onion powder to spice them up.
- For perfectly melted cheese, shredded cheese will melt easier than cubbed cheese. I prefer freshly shredded cheese over bagged cheese.
- Stirring frequently will help you reach the desired consistency. Stir the queso dip every 10 minutes.
- Don’t overcook the queso dip or it can become oily.
- If the dip is too thick you can adjust the consistency by adding more milk and stirring frequently for a silky sauce.
- Air fryers all work differently so use these times as a guide and adjust based on your specific air fryer.
- Gently reheat in the microwave so the leftover queso dip doesn’t separate and become oily.
- Serve queso dip recipe warm as the dip will harden as it cools.
