Queso Dip (Chile con Queso)

Queso dip, also known as chile con queso, originated in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua. Today the creamy dipping sauce is an integral component of Tex-Mex and Southwestern cuisine. Though first introduced to US palates in Texas, it has since become a party staple throughout America. The main ingredients are Velveeta or a similar processed cheese product, diced tomatoes, and chilies. Served warm, queso may is typically eaten with tortilla or pita chips as an appetizer or snack. It also lends itself to use as a condiment on tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas, as well as other Tex-Mex dishes.
