About Chips and queso
Chips and queso is a popular snack or appetizer rooted in Tex-Mex cuisine, featuring crispy tortilla chips paired with a warm, creamy cheese sauce. The queso is often made from processed cheeses like Cheddar or Monterey Jack, combined with milk or cream, and seasoned with spices, peppers, or tomatoes for added flavor. Some recipes include diced vegetables like onions or jalapeños for texture and a hint of heat. While chips and queso are undeniably indulgent, the dish is high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium, particularly if made with processed cheese and commercially fried chips. On the healthier side, homemade versions can use baked tortilla chips, reduced-fat cheeses, and fresh vegetables to boost nutrient content. Moderation and mindful serving sizes are key when enjoying this rich and satisfying treat. As a versatile dish, it’s enjoyed at parties, sporting events, and casual dining experiences across North America.
