Queso & Chips

Aaaahhhhh, Queso.

Who can go into a Mexican Restaurant and resist Queso and Chips?  Not my son, as soon as the server walks over to take our drink order he orders his drink and asks for an order of Queso to go with the chips that are brought to the table. This is the simplest recipe ever.  So for you Queso lovers, Here ya go…

The recipe only asks for 3 ingredients, but you can compliment it in many ways, go through your spices and add a bit of pizzaz to your Queso. For example, add one of the following or all of the following. It is all up to you and what you are in the mood for.

• 1/4 lb cooked chorizo
• 1/4 tsp each of cumin, onion powder and garlic powder
• crushed red pepper flakes
• diced pickled jalapenos
• cilantro, diced tomato, and fresh diced jalapeños.
