AUTHENTIC MEXICAN QUESO BLANCO

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix cheese and cornstarch until cheese is coated.
• Melt butter in large saucepan on medium heat.
• When butter is melted, add onion and garlic. Cook until onions are clear (about 3-5 mins). Add tomato and cook for 2 mins.
• Stir in evaporated milk and cheese.
• Stir in chiles and all of your spices.
• Keep stirring until cheese is thoroughly melted and looks more like a dip. Then, add cilantro.
• If queso looks too thick, add 2 TBSP milk to thin out. Add additional 1 TBSP until you reach desired thickness.

AUTHENTIC WHITE QUESO

Steps:

• Set up a double boiler on your stovetop. Bring a medium pot of water to a simmer over medium heat. Place a shatterproof, heat-proof bowl over the top of the boiling water. The top bowl should be too big to fit into the bottom pot, and therefore should just absorb the heat from the simmering water.
• To begin, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet. Add the onions, garlic, and jalapeños. Sweat, or cook, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• In your double boiler, add the 1 cup of the asadero cheese and the half-and-half. Stir continuously until the cheese begins to melt. Add the cornstarch and combine, stirring as the cheese melts more. Add the remaining cup of cheese. This will take about 3 to 4 minutes.
• When the cheese appears to be nearly finished melting, add the onions, jalapeños, garlic, green chilies, cumin, and salt.
• When serving, add the pico de gallo on top of the queso blanco dip with a few splashes of your favorite hot sauce. Serve immediately.

QUESO BLANCO

Steps:

• Roast the poblano chiles individually over the flame of your stovetop, using metal tongs to hold them, until the skins are totally charred. (If you don't have a gas stove, you can use an outdoor grill OR place them on a baking sheet directly under your oven's broiler.) Place the blackened chiles in a large resealable plastic bag and seal the bag to allow the chiles to sweat for a good 20 minutes.
• Use a knife to scrape off most of the blackened skins. Slice the chiles in half lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and membranes and chop into small dice.
• Add the butter to a very large pot and saute the onions, jalapenos and garlic over medium heat. Add the milk, cream, chili powder and some salt and pepper and heat. Add the processed cheese and stir to melt. Then add the Cheddar, Monterey Jack, tomatoes and diced poblanos. Slowly melt and keep warm.
