Queso Dip (Mexican Cheese Dip) image

Recipe VIDEO above. Copycat of Queso Dip (Mexican Cheese Dip) sold in jars in the US and at Mexican restaurants. Made with real cheese and stays silky smooth even when it cools! AND it reheats perfectly. Makes about 2.5 cups. IMPORTANT: Please read Note 1 regarding store bought shredded cheese.

Provided by Nagi

Categories     Appetiser

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2.5 cups / 225 g Cheddar cheese, freshly shredded ((Important - read Note 1))
1 tbsp cornflour / cornstarch
1/2 tbsp / 8 g butter
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/4 small white onion, very finely chopped (1/4 cup)
375 g / 13 oz evaporated milk (1 can, not low fat)
1 small tomato, finely diced (3/4 cup) ((Note 2))
1/4 tsp each onion powder, garlic powder, cumin
4 oz / 113g can chopped green chile, fire roasted ((Subs Note 3))
1/4 cup coriander / cilantro, finely chopped
2 - 3 tbsp milk, any
Salt

Steps:

  • Place cheese and cornflour in a bowl, toss to coat.
  • Melt butter over medium heat in a large saucepan or small pot.
  • Add garlic and onion, cook slowly for 3 minutes or until onion is translucent but not browned.
  • Add tomato (including juices) and cook for 2 minutes until tomato is slightly softened.
  • Add evaporated milk and cheese. Stir, then add chiles and Spices.
  • Stir until cheese melts and it becomes a silky sauce.
  • Add salt to taste - amount required depends on saltiness of cheese used - and stir through coriander.
  • Stir in milk or water to adjust consistency (I use 2 tbsp) - the dip thickens when it cools, and milk can be added later to adjust to taste.
  • Remove from heat. Serve warm or at room temperature - it will be soft and scoopable even when it cools.
  • Store in the refrigerator. When refrigerated, it becomes the consistency of the cheese spread sold in jars that are not in the refrigerator section. Reheat in microwave and adjust consistency as desired with a tiny bit of milk. If you add too much, just put on stove again until it thickens.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Always opt for fresh ingredients, especially the vegetables and herbs, to ensure the best flavor and texture in your Mexican cheese dip. Freshly chopped tomatoes, onions, peppers, and cilantro will make a world of difference.
  • Choose the Right Cheese: The type of cheese you use plays a crucial role in determining the flavor and consistency of your dip. A blend of cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and queso Oaxaca or queso fresco is a classic combination that provides a smooth, creamy, and flavorful base.
  • Don't Overcook: Keep an eye on the dip while it's cooking to prevent it from overcooking. Overcooked cheese dip can become thick, rubbery, and lose its creamy texture. Remove it from the heat as soon as it reaches a smooth, melted consistency.
  • Add Some Heat: If you like your dip with a bit of a kick, consider adding some chopped jalapeños, chili powder, or cayenne pepper to taste. You can also use a spicy salsa or hot sauce to add heat and flavor.
  • Garnish Generously: Before serving, garnish your cheese dip generously with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, or crumbled cotija cheese. This adds a pop of color, freshness, and extra flavor to your dip.

Conclusion:

Creating a delicious and crowd-pleasing Mexican cheese dip is easy with the right ingredients, techniques, and a dash of creativity.
