Spicy Queso Blanco Creamy White Queso with Jalapeños and Habanero Heat Ingredients: 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat) 1 small habanero pepper, minced (optional for extra spice) 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup whole milk 1/2 cup heavy cream 2 cups shredded white American cheese 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Salt to taste 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional) Diced tomatoes or pico de gallo for topping (optional) Directions: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, jalapeño, and habanero. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and softened. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly to form a roux. Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3–5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add the white American and Monterey Jack cheeses gradually, stirring until smooth and fully melted. Stir in garlic powder and salt to taste. Add chopped cilantro if using. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with diced tomatoes or pico de gallo for color and flavor. Serve warm with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, nachos, or burritos.
