Steps:
- Place cheese and cornflour in a bowl, toss to coat.
- Melt butter over medium heat in a large saucepan or small pot.
- Add garlic and onion, cook slowly for 3 minutes or until onion is translucent but not browned.
- Add tomato (including juices) and cook for 2 minutes until tomato is slightly softened.
- Add evaporated milk and cheese. Stir, then add chiles and Spices.
- Stir until cheese melts and it becomes a silky sauce.
- Add salt to taste - amount required depends on saltiness of cheese used - and stir through coriander.
- Stir in milk or water to adjust consistency (I use 2 tbsp) - the dip thickens when it cools, and milk can be added later to adjust to taste.
- Remove from heat. Serve warm or at room temperature - it will be soft and scoopable even when it cools.
- Store in the refrigerator. When refrigerated, it becomes the consistency of the cheese spread sold in jars that are not in the refrigerator section. Reheat in microwave and adjust consistency as desired with a tiny bit of milk. If you add too much, just put on stove again until it thickens.

THE BOMB QUESO DIP!
In my early years, I was known for making a plain old basic Queso Dip. I'm still asked to bring "Cheese Dip" often to parties, campouts, anywhere that certain friends will be. My recipe is never the same and it has evolved over the years....but here goes my chance to put it down on paper (or internet). By the way....please don't call it "Con" Queso Dip unless you are adding a noun to the name....like "Chili Con Queso"...its not just "Con Queso"....that's my OCD-ness :)

RESTAURANT-STYLE WHITE QUESO DIP
Rich, creamy, with bits of spice and tang from jalapeno peppers--this dip is just like the good stuff you get in restaurants but you'll get 3 to 4 times the amount for the same price. Serve with crispy light tortilla chips, or over nachos, a burrito, or heck, even a shoe it's so good!

Steps:
- Combine undrained tomatoes and cheese in medium saucepan.

- Serve warm as a dip with tortilla chips, crackers or cut-up fresh vegetables.
- COOK'S TIPS: To make in microwave, combine undrained tomatoes and cheese in 1-1/2-quart microwave-safe dish; cover. Microwave on HIGH 5 minutes or just until cheese melts, stirring after 3 minutes. Remove from microwave; stir until mixture is well blended. CAUTION: Dish will be hot; use hot pads.
Tips
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the queso dip will be. Use freshly grated cheese, and avoid using pre-shredded cheese, which contains additives and preservatives that can affect the flavor.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheeses. A blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso Oaxaca is a classic combination, but you can also try using other types of cheeses, such as pepper Jack, Colby, or even blue cheese.
- Use a slow cooker: A slow cooker is a great way to make queso dip. The low, slow heat will help to melt the cheese evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Add flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to your queso dip, such as chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, or chopped jalapeños. Be careful not to add too much, or you will overpower the flavor of the cheese.
- Serve with your favorite dippers: Queso dip is delicious with a variety of dippers, such as tortilla chips, vegetables, or bread.
