Queso cheese dip is a creamy, flavorful sauce often enjoyed as a party appetizer or snack. Traditionally rooted in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, it features a blend of melted cheeses such as cheddar or Monterey Jack, combined with milk or cream for its signature smooth texture. Many recipes include spices like chili powder and cumin, as well as peppers or tomatoes for added zest. While warm and indulgent, queso is typically high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium, making moderation key to maintaining a balanced diet. Some homemade or alternative recipes incorporate low-fat cheeses or plant-based ingredients to lighten the nutritional profile. Often paired with tortilla chips or vegetables for dipping, queso can be a versatile accompaniment to various dishes or enjoyed on its own for a rich, satisfying treat.
