Mexican Chilli And Cheese Dip Food

QUESO DIP (MEXICAN CHEESE DIP)

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.

MEXICAN CHILLI AND CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Place the chilies in a dry frying pan over a moderate heat, turning them frequently until the skin blisters and darkens. Place the chilies in a strong plastic bag and tie the top to keep the steam inches Set aside for 20 minutes, and then carefully peel off the skins. Slit the chilies and scrape out the seeds, then cut the flesh into thin strips, then cut these in half lengthways.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the onion for 5 minutes until it starts to soften. Add the cheese, creme fraiche and cream. Stir over a low heat until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes a rich, creamy sauce. Stir in the chile strips.
• Peel the tomatoes by cutting a cross in the base and covering them with boiling water. Plunge them into cold water and the skin should peel off easily.
• Cut the tomatoes in half and scrape out the seeds. Cut the flesh into 1 cm pieces and stir them into the sauce.
• Serve warm with tortilla chips.

MEXICAN CHILI CHEESE DIP (TEX-MEX)

Steps:

• In a deep pan, brown ground beef, drain and return to the pan. Add Taco seasoning and prepare according to seasoning instructions.
• Add Hormel Chili and refried beans.
• When hot, add the velveta. It helps to cut it up into chunks. Once melted, add the grated cheese. Once all hot and melted together, transfer to a crock pot. Serve with chips and stand back. I write the recipe on recipe cards and take them to the party with me, because I know I'm going to be asked for the recipe.

MEXICAN CHILI CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• 1. Always wear plastic gloves when working with chiles. Select dark green shiny fresh Poblano chiles that are available in Mexican specialty markets and many regular grocery stores throughout the Southwest. Rinse and pat dry the fresh Poblano chiles prior to roasting. Only substitute Anaheim chiles if you are unable to find Poblanos because it will change the taste. There are 2 ways to roast the chiles. You can either use tongs to roast them on a gas stove or put them in the broiler. For this 2nd easier method turn the broiler on high and place the chiles in a baking pan just large enough to fit (to make it easy to turn them and have them stay in place). As the chiles blister use tongs to turn them so they are evenly roasted. Once roasted by either method place the chiles in a plastic bag and let them "sweat" for 10 minutes. Then, using gloves, peel off the blistered skin and remove seeds and pith. Rinse the chiles to remove any remaining seeds and set them on paper towels to dry slightly. Chop the roasted cleaned chiles and set aside.
• 2. With your fingers crumble the Cotija cheese finely until few or no lumps remain. This cheese may be purchased in a piece or already finely crumbled. If you cannot find Cotija cheese you may substitute Parmesan (not Romano or Asiago) cheese.
• 3. Mexican crema (or jocoqui, pronounced "hoe-COKE-key") is usually a thinner consistency than regular sour cream, but either may be used. Stir the crema up with a large mixing spoon and gradually mix in the crumbled Cotija cheese followed by the chopped roasted Poblanos chiles. The dip may be served immediately with really good chips such as Tostitos or freshly made local chips, or you may make and refrigerate the dip up to one day before serving.
