Summary: How to make white cheese tip aka con queso.

Mexican restaurants often offer a white cheese dip that is simple in ingredients, but very flavorful. It is often served with tortilla chips, or drizzled on tacos, nachos, burritos, and chili rellenos.

I’ve tried it alone or combined with sliced jalapeno peppers, and either way it is delicious. You can make your own at home. The secret is in the cheese you use. I’ve seen many recipes for white cheese dip calling for different cheeses. Experiment with several and see what you like best. Favorites include Asadero, Manchego, and white American cheese. Our recipe will use Asadero cheese.

Take note there are different qualities of Asadero cheese. Cacique Asadero is the cheese that is used in this recipe.

Adjust quantities based on how much dip you need. This makes a little over a cup of dip.
