Here’s a delicious and easy Mexican Restaurant-Style White Cheese Dip (like what you get with chips at your favorite spot):
🍶 Ingredients:
- 1 lb white American cheese, cubed or shredded
- 1/4 cup whole milk (add more for desired consistency)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 (4 oz) can green chiles, chopped (mild or spicy)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Optional: 1–2 tbsp diced pickled jalapeños (for more heat)
- Salt to taste
🧑🍳 Instructions:
- Melt cheese:
In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the cheese, milk, and butter. Stir constantly until smooth and fully melted.
- Add flavor:
Stir in green chiles, garlic powder, and optional jalapeños. Mix well and keep stirring so it stays creamy.
- Adjust consistency:
Add more milk a tablespoon at a time if it’s too thick.
- Serve warm:
Transfer to a bowl or a small slow cooker to keep warm. Serve with tortilla chips, over nachos, or as a drizzle for tacos!
💡 Tips:
- Cheese type matters: Use white American cheese from the deli counter (not pre-packaged slices)—brands like Boar’s Head or Land O’Lakes work great.
- For extra creaminess, add a splash of evaporated milk or half-and-half.
- Want it stretchy like queso fundido? Mix in a little mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
