Queso is an American Mexican cheese dip. Made with a base of flour, butter and milk, it is seasoned with classic mexican spices and later a blend of assorted cheese’s is added to make this delicious cheese dip. It is served with chips, nachos and even fries.
Tip: It is very important to keep in mind to not cook the cheese rather melt it in the warm white sauce base.
If you live in a country where pepper jack or white cheddar are not available, you may increase the quantity of cheddar cheese and use just 1 cheese. Please do not use mozzarella cheese.
