Love the bloopers at the end, lol! 16 oz grated monterey jack (add slowly to melt smoothly)
1 C evaporated milk
1-2 Tbs green chilies spicy ~or more to taste
1.5 tsp sodium citrate
2 Tbs butter

Sodium citrate allows any cheese to melt evenly, which means it's also useful for, say, macaroni and cheese or a fondue, if you're feeling fancy. Chances are you've actually already had sodium citrate in cheeses like Velveeta or American cheese—it helps both melt evenly without separating.

Mexican restaurant cheese dip is made with white American cheese and milk. That's all. I know the owner of 3 Mexican restaurants and that's what He told me. I've made it.

Much easier recipe…land o lakes white American, heavy cream and green chiles. Have the person at the deli in your local grocery store to cut you a one pound block, cut it up into smaller blocks, put it in a bowl with about 1/2 cup of cream and throw it in the microwave and start melting. Add more cream to get it to the consistency you’re looking for. Easy and delicious.

I almost closed the video when you said velveeta/american cheese. Glad I continued watching, because you're on the right track here. Chihuahua cheese is my go-to

[marydupree]

finally, found a queso dip...turned out perfect

[nathanroberts]

This is the recipe that I have been searching for for years, I feel dumb now that I have never thought of sodium citrate! Thank you this is the best!

[khyers]

I just ordered myself some sodium citrate 😉. I can’t wait to try this recipe. I just paid $17 dollars for a pint of cheese dip from my local Mexican restaurant 😳. Thanks for sharing.

[KevinClarkKCVC]

I've been looking for this recipe for a long time myself. Thank you.

[NeasTube]

Will you do a video making this with mexican cheeses like queso cojita or queso oaxaca?

[Morris]

[hoosiered]

I'm like you, "why has this basic recipe eluded me for soooo long??!!!" LOL!!! Thanks for the info!!!

[efentzke]

What about adding onion, garlic and a few spices like salt, cumin, smoked paprika & chili powder. Maybe even add some finely diced orange & yellow pepper. I like finely diced jalapeños as well.

[bettygray]

I use white American. Block pepper jack can milk.can green chilies. In crockpot

[texquin]

Looks Great, I'm gonna try this when I make Smoked Brisket Nachos with Green & Red Chilaquiles Sauce!

[robertp]

If you add your sodium citrate first and let it totally dissolve you'll be able to add all the cheese as long as you stir it as it melts.

[timholstead]

Use Land O Lakes White American from the Deli Counter. THAT' is what Mexican restaurants use.

[marshaloneagle]

Been looking for ages, too. The sodium citrate in my Amazon cart. Thank you!

[jenniferpitts]

OMG please explain the sodium citrate - no more grainy queso - this is a life saver
