Print Recipe

Queso, short for “queso fundido,” is a Tex-Mex dish that translates to “cheese” in Spanish. Traditionally served warm and melty, it’s often flavored with green chilies, onions, and sometimes chorizo. The Pioneer Woman’s queso dip leans into convenience, combining Velveeta or cheddar cheese with flavorful add-ins like Rotel tomatoes and jalapeños for that creamy texture and zesty kick.

Ingredients

  • Velveeta cheese (1 lb, cubed) or cheddar cheese

  • Rotel tomatoes with green chilies (1 can)

  • Jalapeño (1, minced)

  • Onion (½ cup, finely chopped)

  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)

  • Milk (½ cup, to thin as needed)

  • Olive oil (1 tbsp)

  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook aromatics

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Step 2: Add tomatoes

Stir in the Rotel tomatoes and cook for 2–3 minutes to blend flavors.

Step 3: Melt the cheese

Reduce heat to low. Add cubed Velveeta or shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.

Step 4: Adjust consistency

If the dip is too thick, stir in a splash of milk until the desired texture is reached.

Step 5: Garnish and serve

Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve warm with tortilla chips, pretzels, or as a topping for tacos and nachos.
