Queso (Cheese) Dip

Queso (Cheese) Dip

This is the best queso dip! Being from Texas, I know my queso, and I think this is the one that beats them all! It’s full of flavor and uses all fresh ingredients. You can substitute half-and-half for the heavy whipping cream if desired. Serve with tortilla chips.
