Categories     Appetizers

Time 30m

Yield About 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion, diced (about ¾ cup)
1 large jalapeño pepper, finely diced (see note)
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups half & half
4 ounces (about 1 cup) grated sharp Cheddar cheese
4 ounces (about 1 cup) grated Pepper Jack cheese
¼ teaspoon cumin
Heaping ¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons finely diced tomatoes (use only the flesh, no seeds or juice)
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional for more heat
Fresh chopped cilantro, optional for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and jalapeños and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute.
  • Add the half & half to the pot and whisk until the flour dissolves. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, a few minutes. Turn the heat down to low and gradually add the grated cheese, whisking and letting it melt as you go, until all of the cheese is incorporated. Add the cumin, salt and tomatoes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary; for more heat, add the optional red pepper flakes. (If the dip seems too thick, you can thin it out with a bit more half & half or some milk.) Transfer to bowl and serve hot with tortilla chips. If the dip cools while you're serving it, you can reheat it in the microwave; just stop and stir at short intervals so it reheats evenly.
  • Note: The queso can be made ahead of time and reheated on the stovetop. If it's too thick, add a bit of half and half or milk to thin it out.
  • Note: If you touch the seeds of the jalapeño pepper, just be sure to wash your hands well and avoid touching your eyes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Beans: Use high-quality canned or dried beans for the best flavor and texture. Some popular options include black beans, pinto beans, or a mix of different varieties.
  • Season Wisely: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your taste. Add more chili powder for a spicier dip or cumin for a smoky flavor. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice for a refreshing tang.
  • Don't Overcook the Beans: If using dried beans, be sure to cook them according to the package instructions. Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh vegetables, such as onions, garlic, and cilantro, to add flavor and texture to the dip. Fresh ingredients will also help keep the dip from becoming too watery.
  • Serve with a Variety of Dippers: Tortilla chips, pita bread, and vegetable crudités are all great options for serving with con queso bean dip. You can also use the dip as a topping for tacos, nachos, or burritos.
