Chili con Queso with Chicken (Similar to Carlos O'Kelly's) image

I fell in love with Carlos O'Kelly's chili con queso with chicken, and experimented until I came up with something I think is a great imitation. It's often a requested appetizer dip at family functions. Serve hot with tortilla chips.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium tomato, diced
1 tablespoon chopped onion, or to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
⅔ (1 pound) package processed cheese, cubed
8 ounces sour cream

½ (4 ounce) can green chiles, chopped - or to taste
2 tablespoons salsa
¼ teaspoon seasoned salt

Steps:

  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the tomato, onion, and garlic until the tomato has released its juice and the juice has become thick and syrupy, about 10 minutes.
