Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ½ red onion diced
- 1 Jalapeño seeded and diced
- 1 can Rotel Tomatoes
- ¼ cup water
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 oz cream cheese
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 cups shredded white cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Turn Instant Pot on "SAUTE." Add butter, onion, and jalapeno to the pot. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until butter is melted and veggies are softened. Turn off.
- Add Rotel tomatoes (undrained) and water to the pot, stirring to make sure there are no browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.
- Add cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring until combined.
- Add cream cheese and do not stir.
- Secure the lid, making sure the valve is set to "SEALING."
- Select HIGH PRESSURE for 1 minute.
- When cook time ends do a controlled quick release of the pressure by moving the valve on top to venting.
- Remove the lid and stir. Add in heavy cream and shredded cheese. Stir until completely melted. Allow to sit several minutes to thicken.
- Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!

Notes
- Recipe tested in a 6qt Instant Pot. Time does not include the time it takes to come to pressure (about 10 minutes).
- To do a controlled quick release, move the valve to venting, switching it on and off until the pressure fully releases, this will take about 1 minute.
- Add more or less heavy cream to determine how thick you want your queso. We prefer ours to be slightly "pourable" to drizzle over chicken or nachos.
- Garnish with jalapenos, rotel tomatoes, and red pepper flakes.
