Recipe: Don’t Stop Queso Dip

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor, while processed cheese is often less expensive.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Almond milk is lower in calories, while evaporated milk can be more budget-friendly.

Place grated cheese and corn starch in a large bowl, tossing to coat. Reserve.

Melt butter over medium heat in a large saucepan.

Add garlic and onion, and cook slowly for 3 minutes, or until onion is translucent but not browned.

Add the chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until meat is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Add chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until the tomato is slightly softened and the liquid has evaporated.

Meanwhile, roast the jalapeños and serranos directly over a gas flame or under the broiler for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred all over.

Remove and once cool enough to handle, mince and add to the pot.

Add evaporated milk and the cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and it becomes a silky sauce.

Stir in the Mexican Fiesta Seasoning. Add salt to taste – amount required depends on saltiness of cheese used.

Finally, stir in the cilantro. Remove from heat.

Serve warm with thick crispy corn chips.
