How to Make Queso Blanco Mexican White Cheese Dip

  1. Combine 16 ounces of your chosen cheese (Jack, Chihuahua, Asadero, or a blend) and 1/2 cup of milk in a double boiler. If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heat-safe bowl over a simmering pot of water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the cheese is completely melted and smooth, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped green chiles (optional, for a spicy kick!), and 1/4 teaspoon of cumin.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your preference.
  5. Serve immediately with warm tortilla chips or flour tortillas for dipping. Enjoy!
