Authentic Tex-Mex Queso

Tonight we’re making authentic Tex Mex queso. Onions, garlic, and jalapenos, are sauteed in a pan before adding in evaporated milk, chicken stock, shredded cheese, and seasonings. And why are we making this dish tonight? Well this week we were in Houston Texas, home of the annual Rodeo Houston Competition and livestock show. 20 days of bull riding, calf roping, and steer wrestling, ended with a concert each night from top performing country music artists. Houston is home of the Stampede Club, known for its line dancing and spacious dance floor where couples can enjoy doing the two step. There is no shortage of great restaurants in Houston, like El Tiempo, with its warm welcoming atmosphere and authentic cuisine which brings us to our dish tonight.

Here's what you’ll need to make authentic Tex-Mex queso.

2 Tablespoons of Butter
1 Small Yellow Onion Chopped
2 Jalapeños Seeded and Chopped
4 Cloves of Garlic Chopped and Minced
2 Tablespoons of Pico de Gallo
1 Can of Evaporated Milk
2 Tablespoons of Corn Starch
1 Cup of Chicken Stock
8 oz of Shredded White American Cheese
8 oz of Shredded Yellow American Cheese
1 Teaspoon of Cumin
½ Teaspoon of Kosher Salt
¼ Each of Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper, White Pepper, Turmeric, and Paprika

In a small to medium sized skillet, add in two tablespoons of butter on medium low heat.

Add the onion, jalapenos, Pico de Gallo, and garlic and cook for a few minutes until softened.

In a small bowl, pour in the evaporated milk, add in the corn starch, and whisk it in.
Add the chicken stock to the evaporated milk bowl and whisk it together..
Add the milk and stock to the pan and stir it in.
Add the shredded cheese to the pan and stir it in until melted. Do this in a few small batches so that the cheese doesn’t clump together.
Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika.
Bring to a simmer and transfer to a bowl or a mini crock pot to stay warm, and you’re ready to serve.

And there it is! A Taste of Rodeo Houston, quick and easy authentic Tex Mex queso. Creamy and silky smooth, serve it with tortilla chips or top it on your favorite burrito.

It was delicious!

Until next time,
Bon appetit.
