{That White Queso... From That One Mexican Restaurant}

So...  I think a lot of us have gone to a Mexican restaurant in some city that has that white queso that was SO deliciously yummy that EVERY Mexican restaurant should have it on their menu................... but..................many don't!

So, here is the closest I've come to it! I remember it runny, a little spicy - but not too much and oh so yummy! Try out the recipe below and let me know what ya think ;) 


White Queso Dip

  • 1 1/4 (1.25) lb block White American Cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced green chiles
  • 2 pickled jalapenos, chopped
  • 1 ounce pickled jalapeno juice
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • pinch of cumin (optional)

Toss all ingredients into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stopping to stir after every minute. The mixture might seem watery during the first few stirs, but should come together as a nice runny dip after all the cheese is melted.

Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips or as a sauce over your favorite Mexican dish.

*Recipe Note: White American cheese is found at most deli counters in your local grocery store.

*Reheat Instructions: Store any leftover cheese dip in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until creamy and hot.
