Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb white American cheese, cubed
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles, undrained
- 1 (4 oz) can diced jalapeños, undrained (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Pinch of salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine cubed white American cheese and evaporated milk in a medium saucepan.
- Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and smooth. Do not boil.
- Stir in the diced green chiles and jalapeños (if using).
- Continue to cook and stir until heated through.
- If the queso is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of milk at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
- Stir in fresh cilantro and salt to taste, if desired.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
Notes
- To prevent a grainy texture, ensure you melt the cheese slowly over low heat and do not let it boil.
- For a slow cooker method, combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth.
- If your queso separates, try whisking in a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a little water before reheating gently.
