Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- ½ lb cheese
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Grate the cheese yourself and toss it with the tablespoon of cornstarch.
- 1 tbsp butter
- garlic
- green onions
- salt
Melt the butter over medium high heat and add the minced garlic and sliced green onions with a big pinch of salt, the ground chipotle and the cumin.
Queso base: aromatics, chilies and tomato
- ground chipotle
- cumin
Cook stirring on medium high just two minutes, only to take off the raw edge, without browning anything.
- ½ cup canned fire roasted chilies
- diced seeded tomatoes
Add the fire roasted chilies and the diced seeded tomatoes and cook about two minutes.
Stir, add the starched cheese and stir until melted; turn the heat off the moment it melts, because a boiled cheese sauce goes grainy and separates.
- cilantro (optional)
- cayenne
Stir in the chopped cilantro, then taste on a salted chip rather than a spoon and adjust the salt and cayenne.
Serve with corn chips, topped with more diced tomato, a scattering of green onion and a shake of cayenne.
