Queso blanco | Mexican-American cheese dip | (AMERICAN CHEESE RECIPE)
Ingredients
  • About 200 grams of cheese, at least a third of which is American cheese or other processed cheese slice containing emulsifying salts (sodium citrate or sodium phosphate). I use about a third white American cheese, and two thirds Monterey Jack cheese.
  •  
  • About 100 mL (half a cup) evaporated milk (cream is a good substitute; regular milk works but is less good)
  •  
  • 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
  1. Tear the cheese into chunks (or grate it) and combine it with the milk and optional butter in a pan.
  2. Turn the heat on medium-high, and stir until melted smooth and thick.
  3. Add all the other ingredients to taste. If the dip is too thick, add more milk; if it's too thin, add more cheese.
  4. Eat it with tortilla chips.
