Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 pound white american cheese
1/4 cup milk (more if you want your dip thinner)
1 tablespoon butter
1 (4-ounce) can green chilis
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Place cheese, milk, and butter in a sauce pan over low heat. Heat until melted, stirring frequently. Stir in the green chilis, cumin, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper. Remember, it doesn't take much cayenne. Add more milk if you want it thinner. Serve immediately with chips, tortillas, and your favorite Mexican dish.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your queso blanco is flavorful and creamy.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or skillet: This will help to prevent the cheese from scorching.
  • Cook the cheese over low heat: This will allow it to melt slowly and evenly.
  • Stir the cheese constantly: This will help to prevent it from clumping.
  • Season the cheese to taste: You can add salt, pepper, chili powder, or other spices to taste.
  • Serve the cheese immediately: Queso blanco is best enjoyed fresh and warm.

Conclusion:

Queso blanco is a delicious and versatile cheese that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a popular ingredient in Mexican cuisine, but it can also be used in other cuisines as well. Queso blanco can be made at home with just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time. With its creamy texture and mild flavor, queso blanco is a cheese that everyone can enjoy.
