Green Chile Queso

By RoketJSquerl

CHEESE! No, not the kind you smile for selfies with, the kind you dip your tortilla chips in! Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 5 ounces evaporated milk
• 8 ounces shredded cheese (I used 5 ounces Monterey Jack and 3 ounces Cheddar)
• 1/8 teaspoon - 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
• 4 ounces canned mild green chilies
• Toppings: chopped tomatoes, grated cojita cheese, cilantro

Preparation

Step 1

In a small sauce pan, spray with cooking spray and slowly cook chilies. The goal is to remove excess liquid without burning. Remove from pan and reserve.

To the same pan, add evaporated milk and heat to bubbling, Stir in chipotle chili powder.

Reduce heat and add cheese, one pinch at a time, whisking until smooth.

Just before adding the last pinch of cheese, remove from heat.

Whisk until perfectly smooth, cool slightly, and add about a tablespoon or so (slowly so as not to break the sauce) of the reserved green chiles.

Stir until combined. Top with additional green chilies.

Add desired toppings and serve with chips.
