Queso Dip

Prep Time10 Minutes

Servings8

Cook Time10 Minutes

Ingredients

1/4 lb Crystal Farms Shredded Cheddar

1/4 lb Crystal Farms Shredded Pepper Jack

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon butter

3/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

2 large garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup diced tomatoes (juice included)

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

12 oz evaporated milk, full fat

4 oz fire-roasted green chiles

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

2 tablespoons milk (add less for thicker queso)

Salt to taste

Directions

Shred cheddar and pepper jack cheeses into a bowl. Toss with cornstarch to combine. Set aside.
Melt butter in a medium-sized pot over medium-heat. Sauté the green onions (white parts only) for 4 minutes, until soft. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add tomatoes with juices to chiles, cumin, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Cook while stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Pour evaporated milk into the pot, stir well to combine.
Bring to a boil, then add the cheese, mixing well. Cook, while stirring, until cheese just melts through the milk and transforms into a smooth sauce.
Stir in milk or water to adjust consistency (the dip thickens when it cools, and milk can be added later to adjust to taste.) Remove from heat immediately.
Stir in cilantro, green onions (reserved green parts) and season with salt to taste if needed. Mix well. Serve warm.
