Felix's Chile Con Queso image

This recipe comes from an original created by Felix Mexican Restaurant in Houston, TX. This is my take on this classic dish, and by far my favorite recipe for con queso. NOTE: If you want to omit the oil, be sure to soften the onions in a couple of tablespoons of hot oil!

Time 55m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup canola oil or 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 large onion (chopped fine)
1/2 cup canned tomato
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar (works better with sugar) (optional)
2 -3 tablespoons paprika
1/4 cup flour (not self-rising)
1/4 cup water
1/2 lb American cheese (grated)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine oil, onion, tomatoes, cayenne, sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper to a large saucepot.
  • Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine flour and water in a bowl and stir until mixture is smooth.
  • Add to saucepot slowly, stirring constantly until smooth and thick.
  • Add the cheese while continuing to stir.
  • Cook until cheese has fully melted and the mixture is blended.
  • Serve warm.
  • Expect an oil-like red film to form above the cheese-- this is normal.
  • Freezes well.
