Where’s The Flavor In This two Ingredient Queso Dip?

Eating well is the best revenge. — Anonymous

Oh, my goodness! What is this abomination of a queso dip you’ve brought me? A measly two ingredients? This is an insult to the art of cooking! Let me show you how a real queso dip is done.

First, let’s gather some proper ingredients. You’ll need:

• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
• 1 cup of milk
• 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup of diced green chiles
• 1/4 cup of diced onions
• 1/4 cup of diced bell peppers
• 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
• 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Now, let’s get cooking!

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the flour and stir constantly for 2 minutes to make a roux.
2. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens.
3. Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Stir until the cheeses are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, green chiles, onions, bell peppers, cilantro, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Continue to stir the dip over low heat for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
6. Once the dip is hot and bubbly, transfer it to a serving bowl and garnish with additional diced tomatoes, chiles, and cilantro.

Wine Pairing

As for a wine pairing, I’d recommend a crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc, such as the Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. The bright acidity and tropical fruit flavors will perfectly complement the richness of the queso dip.

Now, this is a proper queso dip that will have your guests begging for more! Don’t ever bring that two-ingredient nonsense into my kitchen again.
