Spicy Hatch Chile Queso Blanco Dip Recipes

HATCH CHILE CON QUESO DIP

Steps:

• If using fresh chiles, place on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil until blistered, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 5 minutes. Remove skins, stems, and seeds. Chop chiles, drain on paper towels, and set aside.
• In a medium pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, garlic, and salt and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes more. Whisk the flour and cumin into the butter mixture and cook until lightly browned, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Raise the heat to medium and slowly whisk in the milk. Whisk constantly until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
• Lower the heat to medium-low and add the cheeses, 1/4 cup at a time. Stir until cheese has melted completely before adding more cheese.
• Fold in the tomatoes and chiles. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately with chips alongside.

• Stir the flour into the pot and cook for a minute or two until the mixture forms a paste.

• Serve queso immediately, while hot, with tortilla chips and garnish with a little extra green chile on top.
