Description

This Best Mexican White Cheese Dip is a creamy, flavorful, and easy-to-make dip perfect for parties or casual snacking. Made with white American cheese, milk, heavy cream, and a blend of spices, along with diced green chilies for a mild kick, this dip melts to a velvety smooth consistency that pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips, tacos, or fresh veggies. Ready in just 15 minutes, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s both comforting and delicious.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb white American cheese, shredded or cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk (plus more if needed for consistency)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies, drained
  • Salt, to taste

Garnish

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the shredded white American cheese, milk, and heavy cream. Stir frequently to prevent the cheese from burning or sticking to the pan.
  2. Add spices: Once the cheese starts melting, add garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin if using. Continue stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and fully blended.
  3. Incorporate chilies: Stir in the drained diced green chilies and let the mixture cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors together.
  4. Adjust consistency: If the dip is too thick, gradually add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, stirring until you achieve the desired creamy consistency.
  5. Serve: Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the cheese dip into a serving bowl.
  6. Garnish and enjoy: Optionally sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top for a bright flavor, and serve the dip immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Use white American cheese for the best melt and authentic flavor.
  • Stir constantly on low heat to avoid burning the cheese.
  • Adjust the heaviness by adding more milk or less cream based on preference.
  • For a spicier dip, consider adding chopped jalapeños or more green chilies.
  • This dip is best served warm but can be gently reheated if needed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stovetop.
