How to Make this EASY Queso Dip

As I’ve mentioned 10 times already, this queso is very easy to make!

We’ll start by mixing together the tomato, some of the shallot, and cilantro together in a small bowl. This is going to be a topping for the queso which is both delicious AND pretty :)

EASY Spicy Queso Dip

Then a little butter is melted in a saucepan and some shallot and jalapeno is sauteed. Some flour is whisked in and then a little milk. That thickens into a nice little sauce before the cheeses are added in. It all cooks for a little longer and we’re DONE.

Easy. Easy. Easy!
