Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces White American cheese, shredded or cubed
- 8 ounces Pepper Jack cheese, shredded
- 10 ounces Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 1 cup Evaporated milk
- 1 piece Fresh jalapeño, finely diced (optional for extra heat)
- 2 tablespoons Tequila (silver or blanco)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
- 1 bag Tortilla chips
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients by shredding the cheeses, finely dicing the jalapeño (if using), and opening the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies.
In a slow cooker, add the shredded or cubed white American cheese and shredded Pepper Jack cheese.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies and the evaporated milk. Stir gently to combine.
Add the diced jalapeño (if using), tequila, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to evenly distribute the spices and tequila.
Set the slow cooker to low heat and cover with the lid. Cook for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring every 15-20 minutes to ensure the cheese melts evenly and doesn’t burn on the edges.
Once the cheese has fully melted and the mixture is smooth, give it a taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add a pinch of salt or an extra splash of tequila if desired.
Switch the slow cooker to warm mode for serving and garnish the queso with chopped cilantro, if using.
Serve the queso straight from the crock pot with lime wedges on the side and tortilla chips for dipping.
Enjoy this rich, flavorful dip with your favorite party snacks!
