Queso Blanco Dip

Ok, I have a (not so) secret love affair with chips and queso. Seriously I’d have the stuff for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I could… When I lived in Albuquerque I’d get chips and queso at Taco Cabana (menu item #21) often and this recipe comes pretty close to theirs.

Queso Blanco Dip

Ingredients:

1 lbs Kroger brand Queso Blanco with Jalapeños*

1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies

1 T milk

Directions:

Cut the brick of queso blanco into ½ inch cubes.

Place the cheese cubes, green chilies, and milk in a microwave oven-safe bowl. Cook on high for 2 minutes. Stir at the end of the 2 minutes.

Continue to heat and stir as needed until the mixture is smooth.

If being served shortly after preparation, allow the cheese mixture to stand 1 minute before serving to allow the mixture to thicken to the desired consistency.

If being prepared to be served at a later time, transfer the mixture to a crock pot and hold at warm-low temperature until serving time. Stir before serving.

*I’ve been able to find the Kroger brand Queso Blanco at Fry’s and Safeway grocery stores.
