Chile Con Queso

A Mexican cheese dip which must be served warm with tortillas. Experiment with it; add more chillis if you want, or use a tin of chopped tomatoes drained instead of fresh tomatoes, or a mix of the hard cheeses in varing quantities to suit or all mature cheddar if you prefer (although if you do this you probably will have to add a few more chillis). Can be kept in the fridge and it reheats well, have also frozen it but it is far better fresh.

1 bowl (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat the oil in a large pan and saute the onions, garlic and jalapenos until soft.

    Add the tomatoes and continue to saute for 3 minutes.
  3. 3
    Slowly stir in the cheeses and heat on low until melted, stirring occasionally to ensure the mixture doesn't catch.

  5. 5
    Serve warm with tortillas.
