Viva Fiesta! This traditional Tex-Mex queso is made with creamy & smooth Kraft velveeta cheese. I like to elevate my “queso” by using fresh tomatoes, onion, jalapeños & a bit of white wine. If you’re a purist, you eat this molten liquid gold, as is, with seasoned tortilla chips. If you are feeling adventurous, you can add a scoop of picadillo or chopped brisket. In our family, we often add cooked & crumbled sausage. Pretty much anything goes! Any way you choose to consume a bowl of this addictive concoction is fine with me! Enjoy!
