Queso Blanco Dip Recipe

The best Queso Blanco Dip is lusciously creamy, yet somehow light and fluffy. It’s begging to be scooped up onto a wedge of tortilla chip. It's that appetizer so hard to resist!

Ingredients

Servings

  • ¼ white onion finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ½ Roma tomato finely chopped

Instructions

  1. To a medium pot, add the butter over medium heat. When the butter starts to get hot, add the poblano & serrano pepper, onion and garlic. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes to soften. Then add the tomato and saute for 1 more minute.
  2. Add the milk and salt and mix. When the milk starts to bubble, start adding the cheese a little bit at the time ensuring it melts first prior to adding the rest of the cheese. Keep stirring to avoid burning the mixture at the bottom.
  3. Add the ground chipotle if using any. Mix to combine all ingredients.
  4. Serve warm with tortilla chips

Notes

  • Other cheese options: manchego chihuahua, oaxaca, mozzarella or any other good melting cheese.
