Our White Queso Dip Recipe is so simple to make with white American cheese from the deli. You will find it a bit spicy because we add in some jalapeños and red peppers. Top your dip off with some tomatoes and green onions for the perfect Mexican restaurant style white cheese dip.
White Queso Dip
We have a very large family so pleasing everyone is so darn difficult. When we have taco night dinner at home, I know everyone is going to be happy. I whip up tacos with all the fixings and some refried beans. I then serve up chips and salsa. In the past, I have made our CopyCat Chili’s Queso Dip, everyone loves it!
This past week on taco night, I mixed it up a bit. I made this delicious White Queso Dip. I must say that they all were excited because I didn’t just serve chips and salsa.
They all were excited to see I made the white dip like they get when we hit our local Mexican restaurant. None of them can ever get enough of this cheesy dip.
The dip has a little kick to it. I thought it was just right. Not overly spicy but not just a boring and bland white queso. I served it with some chips.
