Queso Blanco (White Cheese) Dip

Ingredients:

1 1/4 lb block White American Cheese (Land O’Lakes brand preferred), cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup diced green chiles

1-2 pickled jalapenos

1 ounce pickled jalapeno juice

2/3 cup whole milk

1/2 cup cold water

pinch of cumin

Directions:

In a food processor, pulse together the green chilis, pickled jalapenos and jalapeno juice. Toss all ingredients into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stopping to stir after every minute. The mixture might seem watery during the first few stirs, but should come together as a nice runny dip after all the cheese is melted.

Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips or as a sauce over your favorite Mexican dish.

*Recipe Note: White American cheese is found at most deli counters in your local grocery store.
