The chile con queso is an incredibly rich mixture of melty cheese, green chillies and tomatoes, which has its origin in the cuisine of the border region between Northern Mexico and Texas. It is, no doubt, one of the favourite Tex-Mex food classics, which is always served steaming hot with crisp tortilla chips. The subtle smokiness and creaminess of the dish make it extremely comforting. Nowadays, it has become an integral part of restaurants and parties.
This homemade chile con queso recipe involves very simple preparation: sautéing the onion, garlic and jalapeño in butter and then thickening the sauce with a cornflour mixture. Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses turn into a delicious queso dip, which remains exceptionally smooth and creamy even after cooling down. Its rich, creamy texture and bold cheesy flavour make it a comforting addition to casual get-togethers, game nights or everyday snacking. Serve it right from the pan and watch how fast the bowl empties.
