Chile con queso
Chile con queso (also referred to as simply queso) is a popular dish in Tex-Mex cuisine, consisting of melted cheese and chili peppers. The dish is often served as a dip with tortilla chips.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The primary ingredients in chile con queso are cheese and chili peppers. The cheese used is typically a processed cheese, such as Velveeta, due to its smooth melting characteristics. The chili peppers can vary based on personal preference, but commonly used peppers include green chilis, jalapenos, and serranos. Other ingredients may include tomatoes, onions, garlic, and spices.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
Chile con queso is typically prepared by melting the cheese in a saucepan over low heat until it becomes smooth and creamy. The chili peppers, along with any other desired ingredients, are then added and cooked until they are soft. The mixture is stirred until it is well combined and heated through.
Serving[edit | edit source]
Chile con queso is traditionally served warm, often in a chafing dish to maintain its temperature. It is commonly served as an appetizer or snack, accompanied by tortilla chips for dipping. It can also be used as a topping for various Tex-Mex dishes, such as enchiladas, tacos, and nachos.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are many variations of chile con queso, with different regions and households adding their own unique ingredients. Some versions may include meat, such as ground beef or chorizo, while others may incorporate different types of cheese or additional vegetables.
