Chile con queso (also called chili con queso) is part of Tex-Mex and Southwestern cuisine, which comes from the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua as a version of Queso chihuahua and Queso flameado. Chile con queso is mostly found in Tex-Mex restaurant menus in Texas and other US states.
Materials
Chile con queso is a soft and soft sauce, used for dipping, made from a mixture of liquid cheese (often Velveeta or other processed cheese, Monterey Jack or cream cheese), cream, and chili; the latter sometimes in the form of a mixture of tomatoes and tinned peppers sold by Ro-Tel. Many restaurants serve chile con queso with additional ingredients such as pico de gallo, black beans, guacamole, and beef or pork.
Serve
Chile con queso is a warm dish, heated to the desired temperature. Chile con queso can be eaten with tortillas, tortilla chips, or ribbons chips that are thicker than regular tortilla chips. It can also be used as a spice on fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, oils, quesadillas or other Tex-Mex dishes.
While Tex-Mex restaurants often offer free chips and salsa, queso is usually offered at an additional cost. It can be made with a variety of cheeses. Usually white or yellow.
Although the chile con queso is commonly called "queso", it should not be confused with the "cheese sauce", which is specifically a cheese without peppers.
