Queso Blanco Dip is a creamy, spicy, perfectly smooth and cheesy dip just like they serve at your favorite Mexican restaurant. Queso blanco is a melted cheese dip that’s delicious every which way you eat it. It only takes a few minutes to make Queso Blanco Dip {a.k.a. Spicy White Cheese Dip} at home. This hot dip tastes so fantastic, you might never order it from a restaurant again.

Ingredients

½ pound White American Cheese roughly chopped into 1" pieces
2 tablespoons chopped green chile frozen or canned will work fine
1 tablespoon pickled jalapeno slices diced fine
1 tablespoon juice from the pickled jalapenos
⅓ cup whole milk
¼ cup water
dash of cumin

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a medium size glass bowl. Microwave for five minutes, pausing to stir after every minute. The dip will be very watery at first, but it will thicken as it finishes cooking.
Serve hot, poured over just about anything that you want to make more delicious. Enjoy!
Notes
The recipe is made with simple white American cheese (not to be confused with another cheese product that is shelf stable). I found both Boars Head and Land o' Lakes American cheese in the deli section at my grocery store.
I make this recipe using whole milk. While it may work with 2% milk, it will not work well with skim milk.
