Ingredients
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-2 jalapenos, seeded and minced (optional)
- 1 1/4 cup unsweetened, plain almond milk
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 large tomato, diced (with juices)
- 1 4-ounce can diced green chilis (with juices)
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp reduced fat cream cheese (1/3 less fat)
- kosher salt and pepper, to taste
- minced chives or green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, over medium heat, sauté onion, garlic, and jalapenos until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond milk and cornstarch. When veggies are soft, slowly add milk/cornstarch mixture to saucepan. Increase heat to medium high until the mixture begins to boil.
- Reduce heat to medium low. Whisk in cumin and chili powder. Add in canned chilis and tomato with all of their juices. Simmer until sauce is slightly thick, about 4-5 minutes.
- Whisk in cream cheese until it completely melts through the sauce. Remove sauce from heat.
- Slowly fold in cheddar cheese, about 1/4 cup at a time, until all cheese has completely melted into the sauce. If you try to add all the cheese in at once, it might clump together.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
- If the queso is too thin, return to medium-low heat and simmer until thicker. If too thick, thin out out a few splashes of almond milk.
