In my quest to find an alternative to the ever popular Foley favorite, Mexicali Dip, I finally found this delicious recipe. It is just like the white queso dips served in many Mexican restaurants. When you finish making it will look a bit runny, but after it sets up it's the perfect consistency.
I found the Land O'Lakes American Cheese at the deli counter of our local grocery store.
Ingredients:
1 1/4 lb. block of White American Cheese (Land O'Lakes brand) cut into1 inch cubes.
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilies, undrained
1 (4 oz.) can diced jalapenos, drained (reserve 1 Tablespoon juice)
1 tablespoon jalapeno juice from the can of diced jalapenos
2/3 whole milk
1/2 cup cold water
pinch of cumin (optional)
Toss all ingredients into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stopping to stir after every minute. The mixture might seem watery during the first few stirs, but should come together as a nice runny dip after all the cheese is melted.
Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips (I love Tostitos Cantina Thin & Crispy) or as a sauce over your favorite Mexican dish.
