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.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; add onion and jalapenos. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute more and remove from heat.
Step 2
Transfer jalapeno mixture to a blender. Add water, diced tomatoes, hot green chiles, mild green chiles, and cilantro. Cover and blend on high until mostly smooth.

Cook’s Notes:
If the queso is too thick, thin with additional water.
