How to Make Authentic Mexican White Cheese Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until a smooth paste forms (this is your roux).
- Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the queso chihuahua substitute (or your preferred Mexican cheese), salt, and pepper. Cook until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chicken broth for extra richness and flavor. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve immediately over your favorite Mexican dish or with tortilla chips and salsa.
