Yield: 6 Appetizer Servings

Ingredients

Queso

• 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
• 2 1/2 cups Milk
• 1 cup grated Monterey Jack Cheese
• 1 cup grated Cheddar Cheese
• Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste

Salsa

• One 15-ounce can Muir Glen Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
• 1 fresh Jalapeño seeded and diced
• 1/4 large Red Onion diced
• Freshly squeezed Juice of 1 Lime
• 1 pinch Salt

Instructions

Salsa

• Drain tomatoes well in a colander. Be sure to remove all the liquid.
• Dice tomatoes.
• Place diced tomatoes in a medium bowl. Add diced jalapeno and diced red onion. Mix well.
• Squeeze lime juice over salsa. Mix well.
• Taste. Add salt, to taste.
• This can be done in advance - Store in a tightly sealed container, in the refrigerator, until ready to use. Allow to come up to room temperature before using.

Queso

• Place butter and flour in a medium pot.
• Place over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the butter melts and forms a roux (thick paste) with the flour. Continue to cook over heat for a few minutes until the roux turns a light tan color.
• Slowly pour milk, 1/3 cup at a time, into the roux, whisking continuously so no lumps form, until all milk is incorporated. (At this point you have a basic bechamel sauce.)
• Continue to simmer this until it thickens, stirring frequently. Do not burn.
• Add grated cheese -- yes, stirring constantly. 😉
• Once cheese is melted, taste. Add salt and pepper, to taste. (If queso dip is too thick, add a bit more milk to thin it.)
• This can be done in advance - Store in a tightly sealed container, in the refrigerator, until ready to serve. Reheat, in the microwave or on the stovetop, to very warm or even hot before serving.

Fire Roasted Queso Dip

• Pour all prepared and warmed queso dip into a large serving bowl.
• Add prepared room-temperature salsa directly into the center.
• Serve like this or stir the queso and salsa together before serving.
• Serve with tortilla chips or other dippers.
• Dip should stay good to eat as it cools. But if you like, reheat in the microwave.
