Mexican White Cheese Dip / Queso Dip

I love this dip, it's fast and easy and delicious.  It's another recipe that I stole from someone else and then changed until it was the way we wanted it.  My favorite thing to do is make this when we do fajita/burrito night and put this on there as well.  And then I've got plenty left for leftovers too.  Enjoy!

Ingredients
  • 1 pound White American Cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk (Any will work but I usually have Whole in the fridge)
    • Add additional milk to make dip thinner if desired
  • 3 Tbsp butter (salted)
  • 2 cans green chili's (4 oz cans)
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder (more to taste)
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin (more to taste)
  • 1/4 - 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (more to taste or for a hotter flavor)
  • Pinch of salt
    • Can substitute garlic salt in place of garlic powder but then you must eliminate the salt.  With the chips this gets a little salty for our taste.
Directions
  1. On low heat melt together butter and cheese with milk, stirring frequently until melted and well blended
  2.  Stir in green chili's and spices
  3. Add more milk to reach desired consistency if needed
  4. Keep on low heat stirring occasionally to keep from scorching and cooling too much
  5. Enjoy!
How it's best
  • With margaritas on the side of course!
  • With chips (nobody likes it when you stick your finger in the cheese)
  • Wrapped up inside of a fajita or burrito
  •  Use fajita shells for dipping
  • Over cilantro rice (this is delicious with fajita shells)
  • Without the chili's you could use as more of a fondue and dip veggies or bread in it (haven't tried this yet)
