About Queso sauce

Queso sauce, a creamy cheese-based condiment, is a staple in Tex-Mex cuisine. Originating as a fusion of Mexican and American flavors, this savory sauce typically combines melted cheeses like cheddar or Monterey Jack with milk or cream, and often includes ingredients like diced tomatoes, green chiles, jalapeños, onions, and spices for added flavor. Rich in calcium and protein due to its cheese content, queso can offer some nutritional benefits, but it's also high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories, which makes moderation key. Commonly enjoyed as a dip for tortilla chips or as a topping for dishes like nachos and burritos, queso sauce is versatile and indulgent. While it’s deliciously satisfying, it’s best paired with wholesome sides or limited to special occasions for a balanced diet.
