If you’ve spent any time in Texas, then you know how seriously we take our queso fundido. No matter the occasion or time of day (breakfast queso, anyone?), it always hits the spot. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite quesos around the state so you can make them in your very own kitchen. Here, 6 warm gooey Texas queso fundidos to make now.
Skillet Queso with Charred Cherry Tomatoes
We like to make this homemade queso in a cast-iron skillet because it conducts heat well (keeping your queso warm longer) and you can wrap a towel around the handle and bring it right to the table. We’ve included instructions for how to make this dip over a campfire or on your grill, but you can also whip it up on the stovetop to go with your weeknight taco spread.
Connie’s Queso from Craft Grill
This version from Craft Grill in Tomball is Queso 101. The easy cheese dip requires only two kinds of cheese plus half-and-half. Enjoy it as is, or make it your own with chiles, cilantro, vegetables, or ground beef.
Goodtaste’s Chunky Chili Con Queso
This Goodtaste chili con queso gets its thick, silky texture from cream cheese. For a slightly healthier version, you can swap in Greek yogurt.
Aldaco’s Grilled Cheese Queso
This isn’t your ordinary cheese dip. This “Cazuelita de Rajas, Elote y Queso Panela,” or Grilled Cheese Queso, from Aldaco’s in San Antonio is made with seared queso panela and Mexican crema. This version is as authentic as it comes.
Lucinda Hutson’s Queso Flameado
This famous cheese dish from Jalisco is flambéed with tequila! Cookbook author Lucinda Hutson recommends dimming the lights first so you can really put on a show for your guests!
H-E-B’s Mexican Street Corn Queso
H-E-B’s killer mash-up of our favorite Tex-Mex dip and the iconic Mexican street food is insanely addictive. Sweet corn cuts the creaminess of the cheese, and fresh cilantro and serrano pepper add some freshness to the rich dip.
