Queso Dip
chile con queso
Wonderfully cheesy with just a little kick. Queso is great as a dip but also great drizzled over roasted or steamed vegetables. Queso is delightfully cozy with the weight of the cheese but fresh with tomato and jalapeños.

I began ordering and fell in love with queso when Mexican fast food rose to popularity in Australia in the early 2000's. I loved dipping my tortillas and French fried in it. It was a must have for the Sliver and Bite web site. You will fall in love with this versatile dip.

METHOD
Place the vegetable oil, finely diced onion and garlic into the fry pan. Sauté until onion is translucent.
Pour in the can of evaporated milk and mix with the salt, cumin and chilli powder.
Once the mixture reaches a gentle simmer add the cheddar and cream cheese. Mix until the cheese has melted.
NOTE: Ensure the mixture is constantly whisked as the dairy will stick and burn on the bottom of the pan. Burning will alter the taste if the queso.
Add and mix the finely diced tomato and jalapeños.
Decant into a ramekin to enjoy with some fresh soft pretzels.
