Are you excited, Cinco de Mayo is almost here!!! As you can probably tell, our family loves Mexican food! Thankfully there is an entire holiday surrounding all of the delicious Mexican flavors. What could be more perfect at your next Mexican fiesta than Queso Blanco Dip?
Thick, melted cheese blended with jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, and onions…YUM! This is the perfect dip to serve along side these delicious José Olé Shredded Steak Taquitos wrapped in corn tortillas…..
and these José Olé Chicken & Cheese Taquitos wrapped in flour tortillas…..
and no one can pass up these fun José Olé Beef & Cheese Mini Tacos…..
José Olé makes all of your impromptu {or planned} fiestas so simple and stress-free!! They are even perfect for protein-packed, after-school snacks. 😉
All of your José Olé favorites can be found in the freezer section at local grocery stores nationwide…..
In fairness, my local Hy-Vee is in the middle of a full store reset, so the shelves are a bit bare at the moment…and I was dodging construction workers to take these photos. 😉
This recipe makes a lot of Queso Blanco Dip!! You will have plenty to serve with your José Olé favorites, as well as chips and cut veggies…..
To make this delicious Queso Blanco Dip, start by removing the membrane and seeds from your jalapeno peppers…..
and tomatoes…..
dice them along with your onion, and set aside…..
Cut your cheese into cubes…..
and set aside. You want to have all of your ingredients ready to go before you start!
Heat olive oil in a large pan. Add the onions and jalapenos and cook over Medium heat for 5 minutes, until softened and translucent…..
Add the tomatoes and garlic, stir and cook for one additional minute. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, and whisk to coat…..
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly until all milk has been added and no lumps remain…..
Slowly add the cheese cubes, one cup at a time, mixing and allowing to completely melt before adding more…..
Once all of the cheese has been added, and melted, add the Greek yogurt {or sour cream} and stir to combine…..
Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve…..
Oh, and no fiesta would be complete without Homemade Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, and Classic Margaritas!!

How many tomatoes? Looks like you used plum or roma tomatoes by your photos but there are none listed in the ingredients and yet they are referred to in the directions. Would like to try this for our Cinco de Mayo dinner but would like the complete recipe please.
