Queso Blanco Dip
Not only is it extremely simple to prepare, the absolute delicious creaminess of this queso blanco dip will make you swoon.
So creamy. So smooth and perfectly melted. So flavorful.
I’ve been dying for a good white cheese dip like the kind I crave and order at any and all Mexican restaurants and this did not disappoint in the least.
I really feel that if you and I are able to remain friends, you need to add this dip to your repertoire immediately.
Not only is it extremely simple to prepare, the absolute delicious creaminess beholden in the pot of melted cheese is enough to make anyone swoon.
Queso Blanco Dip
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
- ¼ cup finely chopped onion
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 12 ounces white American cheese, shredded or sliced thinly
- 4 ounces Monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 1/4-2/3 cup milk
- 1 medium tomato, seeded and finely diced
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and jalapeño to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Add both of the shredded cheeses and 1/4 cup of the milk. Whisk or stir until completely melted.
- Mix in the tomato and cilantro, and add additional milk gradually as necessary to achieve desired consistency (I added about 1/2 cup total).
- Transfer to a warmed serving bowl and serve immediately.
Notes
Cheese: white American cheese can be found at the deli counter in most grocery stores. I could only find it pre-sliced so instead of shredding it as stated in the recipe, I simply cut it into thin strips.
Leftovers: also, this dip reheats beautifully on low in the microwave or on the stovetop. Not that there will be any left…but if there is, now you know how to reheat.

I’m making this for the second time in two weeks. Maybe it’s a pregnancy thing; maybe it’s just THAT good…I don’t know. Definitely an easy and tasty recipe!
My kids adore queso and were begging for it for lunch today. Since I had all the ingredients, I did and they declared it to be amazing and delicious. I love how simple and quick it was to make too, always a bonus!
Super delish! Love that it uses real cheese – not extra processed, fake blocks that almost never expire. And, adore how yummy, creamy and easy it is. This will definitely scratch your queso itch!
