Ingredients
- 1 cup white cheese (such as queso blanco or panela), crumbled
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup chopped green chilies (mild or hot, according to preference)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Gather the white cheese, milk, butter, and green chilies in a medium-sized saucepan.
- Melt and stir: Place the saucepan over low to medium heat and stir the mixture constantly until the cheese and butter have melted completely and the dip is smooth and creamy.
- Adjust consistency: If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk gradually while stirring until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve warm: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
Notes
- Use mild green chilies to keep the dip flavorful without too much heat.
- For a spicier dip, add jalapeños or hotter varieties of green chilies.
- If queso blanco is not available, you may substitute with a mild white cheese like Monterey Jack or mozzarella, but the flavor will vary slightly.
- This dip is best enjoyed warm; reheat gently if necessary.
