Description

Indulge in the creamy and flavorful delight of Mexican White Cheese Dip, a perfect party appetizer that will have your guests coming back for more.


Ingredients

Cheese Dip:

  • 1 pound white American cheese (cubed or shredded)
  • 1/4 cup whole milk (more as needed)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies (undrained)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 12 tablespoons pickled jalapeño juice (optional, for spice and tang)
  • Salt to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheese Dip: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white American cheese, milk, and heavy cream. Stir frequently until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
  2. Add Flavorings: Stir in the green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, and jalapeño juice if using. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the dip is heated through and fully blended.
  3. Adjust Consistency: Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency. Taste and add salt if necessary.
  4. Serve: Warm with tortilla chips, or drizzle over nachos, tacos, or burritos.

Notes

  • White American cheese is essential for the smooth, creamy texture—look for it at the deli counter.
  • Add a pinch of cumin or chili powder for a deeper flavor.
  • Keep warm in a slow cooker or over very low heat if serving for a party.
