Torchy's Tacos Green Chile Queso

Love Torchy’s queso? You have to give this a try! Don’t worry that mine doesn’t have green chile chunks like Torchy’s, they’re in there. I like mine blended into a creamy piece of heaven. It’s delicious served warm with guacamole and tortilla chips! Perfect party size.
