Queso, to most people is a bowl of melted velveeta and some rotel mixed together. We kick our version up a notch with non processed cheeses to give you an ooey gooey melty queso. You’ll be reaching for this recipe at all your parties or even when you’re just having a queso craving!
*Our queso is more of a fundido style which means you will still have stringy strands of cheese mixed in with the melted cheese which is perfect for both tortillas and chips!
