Queso is amazing. Hot, melty, cheesy, silky heaven on a chip. In my eyes, queso is the highlight of Mexican restaurant cuisine. For a long long time, I had this belief that it was only possible to get delicious queso at restaurants. You can imagine the sheer joy I experienced when I discovered that you could make queso at home! Not only could I make it at home, but I could make it fast and easy, too!
This recipe makes queso so accessible that you will want to make it all the time. No more waiting for a trip to the Mexican restaurant!
So, let's talk queso for a quick minute. There are so many different variations on queso dip and, tbh, I love them all. The classic restaurant-style is, of course, one of my favorites. It's plain white queso, aka queso blanco, and it's a total winner in my book.
At many restaurants, you can find variations that can be super fun and delicious. Some restaurants will add meat, green chilies, or salsa to white queso. This Salsa Con Queso features the salsa add-in and it is so delish!
