Chilli con queso = a dipping sauce of melted cheese and chopped chili peppers
I think there are a lot of variations out there, some quite creamy to cater for conservative tastes and very mild chillis. Some come out quite pink as restaurants add tomato sauce or an equivalent to it.
I like to add onion to mine and sometimes chop up tomatoes and throw in some jalapenos as well to give it a bite.
Here is one recipe from taste.com.au
- some butter, about a teaspoon full into a pot on the stove, medium to high
- Half an onion sliced and diced, do not over caremalise it (I sometimes put it in later so it has some crunch)
- Some milk, about 1/2 cup
- Grated cheese. About 1 to 1 1/2 cups. I use cheddar but lots of variations on theme. Generally firm to hard cheeses with medium to strong taste. Things like Brie/Camembert are too mild.
- some flour (about a tablespoon (to thicken the mixture, although you may need more) )
- Chopped and diced tomato
- Jalapeno peppers (from tin, they are usually quite soft).
- Serve up in a ramekin bowl
A nice entree before a Mexican meal of tacos or as a snack.
