Spinach Con Queso Recipes

AUTHENTIC CHILE CON QUESO

This is a true chile con queso that can be eaten with tostadas or in a warm corn tortilla. This is not like the Americanized version of chili con queso that we have become used to that is a cheese dip, which I also love. This is the way my grandma used to make it. The great thing about this recipe is you can play with it and adjust it to your personal taste. If you like it cheesier add more cheese. You can't mess this up unless you burn it.

SPINACH CON QUESO DIP

This creamy dip is excellent warm with fresh vegetables or with freshly made flour tortilla chips (I cut tortillas into triangles and bake or fry them with vegetable oil). If you have a taste for something a bit spicier, add some finely minced jalapeno, serrano or habanero chiles. Delicious!

CHILI CON QUESO

Years ago, my husband invented this gooey cheese dip. I may be biased, but I have to say it's excellent. If you like heat, rev it up with finely chopped jalapenos. -Patricia Leinheiser, Albuquerque, New Mexico
