Con Queso, a popular dish in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, is a creamy cheese-based sauce typically served warm and often enjoyed as a dip for tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, nachos, and other dishes. Its primary ingredients include melted cheese, usually processed varieties like cheddar or Velveeta, combined with milk or cream for smoothness, alongside flavorful additions such as tomatoes, onions, peppers, and spices like chili or cumin. While Con Queso delivers bold flavors and rich textures, its nutritional profile can be calorie-dense due to high fat and sodium levels, depending on preparation methods. Some variations incorporate vegetables or lean protein for added nutrients. Moderation is key when indulging, and opting for recipes that use lower-fat cheese or add fresh ingredients can make it a slightly healthier choice while preserving the dish's signature appeal.
