Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup milk
  • 1 lb white melting cheese, like velveeta cubed
  • ¼ cup Roasted Green Chiles, chopped very small preferably from New Mexico
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp chipotle chili pepper

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, warm the milk on medium/low heat. Don't burn it!
  • Once the milk is warm, add the chunks of white cheese and stir around until melted.
  • Add chopped green chiles, cumin, and chipotle chili pepper.
  • Mix cornstarch with water. (just enough to turn it into cornstarch sludge)
  • Add to queso mixture. Turn heat to about medium, just enough to allow the queso to bubble and thicken. Continue stirring so it won't burn.
  • Once queso has thickened to your liking, serve and enjoy!
