Tips:

- Use cornstarch or arrowroot powder to thicken your queso dip. This will give it a smooth and creamy texture without the use of dairy. - If you want a cheesy flavor without the dairy, use nutritional yeast. It has a nutty, cheesy flavor that will add depth to your dip. - Add roasted poblano peppers or chipotle peppers to your queso dip for a smoky flavor. - Add fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, to your queso dip for a pop of color and flavor. - Serve your queso dip with tortilla chips, vegetables, or bread.
