RESTAURANT-STYLE WHITE QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Combine American cheese and half-and-half in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power in 1 1/2 minute intervals, stirring in between each interval, until melted and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir in jalapenos, jalapeno juice, cumin, and cayenne. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and serve immediately.

WHITE QUESO DIP RECIPE

Steps:

• Melt two teaspoons of butter in medium-sized frying pan. Add onions, cook until they become translucent.
• Place the cheese and heavy cream together in a medium-sized pan and heat over low-medium heat until the cheese melts.
• After the cheese has melted, add green chilis and onions and stir well.

WHITE QUESO DIP

Steps:

• In a double boiler on low heat (enough to keep a gentle boil), add the cheese and some of the half and half.
• Stir mixture until cheese begins to evenly melt, adding half and half to result in the consistency you desire. (It should be thin enough to flow well, but thick enough to stay on a chip).
• Add diced jalapenos to mixture, according to your preference. If they are from a jar, add a teaspoon or two of the juice as well.
• Begin to add the spices. Start with the cumin and black pepper. Add red pepper gradually, tasting along the way. A little goes a long way, so be sure you don't make it too hot. I use a bit more than 1/4 tsp, you may use more or less.
• Add a pinch of chili powder, and serve hot with tortillas or chips.
• Leftovers can be microwaved (add more half and half or water to keep consistency). Don't worry about yellowing from day to day (due to spices/cheese), it will be good for 4-5 days.

QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Put the cilantro, onions and pickled jalapeno if using on a cutting board, and chop them into a rough mixture.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, and stir until it is absorbed. Pour in the beer and milk; whisk constantly until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the Monterey Jack until completely melted and smooth.
• Transfer the queso dip to a warmed serving dish, a fondue pot or a small slow cooker set to warm or low. Sprinkle the cilantro mixture on top, and sprinkle with a little chipotle powder if using. Serve with tortilla chips.

QUESO BLANCO DIP (WHITE CHEESE DIP)

Steps:

• Toss all ingredients into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stopping to stir after every minute. The mixture might seem watery during the first few stirs, but should come together as a nice runny dip after all the cheese is melted.
• Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips or as a sauce over your favorite Mexican dish.
• *Recipe Note: White American cheese is found at most deli counters in your local grocery store.
• *Reheat Instructions: Store any leftover cheese dip in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until creamy and hot.
