Let’s Breakdown the Ingredients!
This cheesy queso dip is made with tons of ingredients that make it super cheesy, creamy and delicious!
The Freshly grated cheddar cheese is the main ingredient in this recipe, and it has a sharp and earthy flavour that balances perfectly with the other ingredients. I used unsalted butter, evaporated milk and regular milk to lighten the melted cheese in the dip, making it easier to combine all the ingredients.
The use of cornstarch is important to make sure that the dip is not too silky and not too thick. With the ingredients of cheese and milk, the cornstarch helps balance the dish’s consistency.
This recipe also added a handful of fresh vegetables to add additional texture and flavours. Minced garlic has a warm spicy taste that comes to life when cooked, and the finely chopped white onion has a stronger and spicer intense flavour to them. The finely chopped tomatoes add a balanced sweet, tart, and tangy flavour to the dip.
The cilantro adds a fresh citrus taste to the recipe, while the green chile adds a tangy, sharp, savoury, earthy flavour to the dip.
I seasoned my dip with onion powder and garlic powder to add an extra flavour of onion and garlicky taste. The cumin adds a rich, warm and earthy taste to the silky cheese dip and of course, always add salt to taste!
