Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ white onion finely diced (½ cup)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 ½ cups cheddar cheese freshly shredded
- 2 ½ cups Tex-Mex cheese shredded
- 1 ounce can evaporated milk
- 1 ounce can Rotel Original
- 1 ounce can green chilies
- chopped tomatoes for garnish
- fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add onion and garlic and cook for about 3-5 minutes (until soft).
- Add both cheeses, a handful at a time, stirring well between each batch until melted, then repeat.
- Adjust the heat to low and slowly stir in milk and continue stirring until everything is mixed and starts to slightly thicken (note: ensure you are on low and stir regularly or the sauce can separate).
- Stir in Rotel, green chilis, and salt until heated thoroughly, then remove from heat and serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Serve it warm: If you are serving the dip at a party, transfer it to a small crockpot to keep it warm. As the cheese salsa dip cools, it seizes and is difficult to eat.
- Freshly grate the cheese: Bagged cheese has added anti-caking agents that make the cheese clump together as it melts. Shred the cheese yourself for perfectly melty, smooth queso.
- Don’t let the heat get too high: Do not let the heat get too high once you add the cheese, as this can cause it to separate.
