Description
This creamy queso dip is perfect for any gathering and can be easily made in a blender.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 4 oz chopped green chilies
- 1 1/2 cups grated cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- cayenne pepper (Optional for spicy)
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Purée until smooth.
- Serve.
- If you want to heat the queso, do it carefully. This can be really tricky because cottage will separate, become watery, and a completely different texture when over heated. You can use the microwave in 20 second increments, or heat it on the stove at low heat for a few minutes.
- If it does change texture, add the warm queso back to the blender to smooth it out again.
Notes
- This recipe is versatile; feel free to use different cheese blends.
- Monitor the heating process closely to avoid texture changes.
