Ingredients
Scale
Queso Blanco Dip Ingredients
- ½ pound White American Cheese, roughly chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons chopped green chile (frozen or canned)
- 1 tablespoon pickled jalapeno slices, diced fine
- 1 tablespoon juice from the pickled jalapenos
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup water
- Dash of cumin
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the White American cheese, chopped green chile, diced pickled jalapenos, pickled jalapeno juice, whole milk, water, and a dash of cumin into a medium-sized glass bowl. Stir gently to mix all ingredients evenly.
- Heat and Stir: Microwave the mixture on high for a total of five minutes, stirring thoroughly after each minute. Initially, the dip will be watery, but as it cooks, the cheese will melt and the mixture will thicken into a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Serve Hot: Once the queso blanco dip has thickened and is hot throughout, serve it immediately. Pour over chips, vegetables, tacos, or any dish you want to enhance with a rich, cheesy flavor.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe glass bowl to ensure even heating.
- Stirring every minute prevents the cheese from clumping and ensures smooth melting.
- Adjust the amount of pickled jalapeno slices and juice depending on your preferred spice level.
- For a thinner dip, add a little more milk or water while heating.
- Serve immediately for best texture; the dip will thicken as it cools.
