White queso, a creamy cheese dip rooted in Tex-Mex cuisine, is a crowd-favorite appetizer often served with tortilla chips or drizzled over dishes like nachos and enchiladas. Typically made with white American cheese or queso blanco, it combines melted cheese with milk or cream and sometimes includes ingredients like diced green chilies, jalapeños, onions, and spices for added flavor and heat. While its rich texture and savory taste make it a popular indulgence, white queso is high in fats, sodium, and calories, posing concerns for those mindful of heart health or dietary balance. However, it offers a source of calcium and protein, key nutrients for maintaining bone health and muscle function. Moderation is key to enjoying this flavorful dip while balancing other nutritional needs. For lighter variations, some recipes incorporate low-fat cheese or substitute cream with lighter alternatives like unsweetened almond milk.
