Queso blanco | Mexican-American cheese dip | (LIME AND BAKING SODA RECIPE)
loading...
Ingredients
- About 200 grams of semi-firm cheese (I use Monterey Jack)
- About 80 mL (⅓ cup) evaporated milk (cream is a good substitute; regular milk works but is less good)
- 40 to 50 mL fresh squeezed lime juice (3 to 4 Persian limes)
- ½ teaspoon (2 to 3g) baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
- About a tablespoon (15g) of butter (very optional)
- A couple tablespoons canned or pickled green chiles (or just their juice)
- Some fresh cilantro leaves, if you're into that
- Salt, and whatever Latin-American spices you might like
Steps
- subheading: Prepare Sodium Citrate:
- Put the lime juice in a pan and stir in the baking soda.
- Keep stirring until the foaming completely stops, and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Turn the heat on medium-high, stir and boil the juice until it's reduced by about half.
- subheading: Make the dip:
- Stir in the milk.
- Tear the cheese into chunks (or grate it) and throw into the pan with the optional butter.
- Stir until melted smooth and thick.
- Add all the other ingredients to taste. If the dip is too thick, add more milk; if it's too thin, add more cheese.
- Eat it with tortilla chips.
