Holy moly, this is so good! I always love anything Mexican and this dip is no excuse. This is insanely creamy but not overwhelming. Simple, easy, and quick. A copycat of our favorite white cheese dip/sauce and what is best is you can adjust the recipe as you like. I recommend adding some green chilis if you want a bit of kick. Nothing beats a cheesy, creamy, and spicy dip. This is gonna be an excellent dip for your tortilla chips on your next Taco Tuesday and the perfect sauce for your nachos, burrito, and a lot more! Never again buying those bottled cheese dip. This recipe is to keep and a winner!
INGREDIENTS
1 pound white American cheese, cubed
½ cup milk, or as needed
1 tbsp of butter or margarine
2 (4 oz) cans chopped green chilies
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper to taste
HOW TO MAKE MEXICAN WHITE CHEESE DIP/SAUCE
Step 1: In a medium saucepan, cook the cheese, milk, and butter over low heat while frequently stirring until the cheese has melted.
Step 2: Once melted, stir in the green chilies, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to taste.
Step 3: If the dip is too thick, pour in more milk. Heat through and serve promptly.
NOTES:
This dip is comparable to the white sauces you see in a lot of Mexican restaurants.
To change the amount of heat, add in your preferred chili pepper or crushed cayenne pepper to taste.
This is a perfect dip for tortilla chips. Use it with many Mexican dishes or as a sauce.
I would recommend you add a variety of flavors to this dip. And you can also add green chilis in Rotel alternatively.
