Mix together 1 block of Vita cheese and 2 lbs of cooked brisket in a bowl.

Add 1 can of cream of jalapeno and 2 cans of fire roasted Rotel, including all the juice, to the mixture.

Season with Meat Church Voodoo seasoning or your favorite seasoning and mix well.

Transfer the mixture to a smoker or a baking dish.

If using a smoker, set it to 350°F and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring a couple of times to ensure even melting.

Alternatively, you can smoke it at 225°F, stirring frequently to expose the top to smoke.

After about 1 hour at 350°F, remove the queso from the heat; it should be hot and bubbly.

Mix in fresh chopped cilantro just before serving, and garnish with more cilantro on top if desired.

Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping.
