Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup queso blanco shredded
  • 0.5 cup whole milk
  • 0.25 cup sour cream
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 0.5 tsp cumin ground
  • 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper optional
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded queso blanco, milk, and sour cream. Stir constantly until smooth and fully melted, about 8–10 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Continue to stir and cook for another 5–7 minutes until the dip is creamy and well combined.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in half of the chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with remaining cilantro. Serve warm with tortilla chips, sliced jalapeños, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

For a smoother texture, blend the dip in a food processor after cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed to restore creaminess.
