Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • ½ tbsp. olive oil
  • ¼ cup sweet onion, chopped
  • ½ to1 jalapeno, or more to taste, minced
  • 1-pound white American cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¼ to ½ cup low sodium chicken broth
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
  • ½ cup tomatoes, finely diced

Instructions
 

  • To a small skillet, over medium low heat, add olive oil.
  • Sauté onion and minced jalapeno in the heated oil. 
  • Turn heat to low; add shredded cheese and milk; stir continuously until cheese is melted. 
  • Slowly stir in enough chicken broth to thin out to desired consistency.
  • Stir in fresh chopped cilantro and finely diced sun ripened tomatoes.

Notes

Purchase good quality American cheese from your grocer's deli; it does make a difference;  do not use the prepackaged individually wrapped cheese.
Thin out the cheese sauce using low sodium chicken broth; use small amounts at a time till you get it to the right consistency; if too thick the Queso will form a skin.
Try adding fresh jalapenos and/or sun ripened tomatoes.
