Queso, the Tex-Mex cheese dip that has blown up in menus and headlines around the country, is short for “chile con queso,” which translates to “chile with cheese” in English. In other words, there's a lot more to queso than just cheese. (On the other hand, queso fresco is just a type of cheese.)

Description. TOSTITOS® Queso Blanco Dip blends creamy Monterey Jack cheese with spicy jalapeños and mild red bell peppers for the perfect medium heat.

You can serve it cold, which leaves it with a stiffer gelatinous consistency, or you can heat up the jar, which makes it soupy. Both ways are gross, but I prefer it cold. The only real rule of eating Tostitos Salsa con Queso is that it has to be straight from the jar.

This queso has some bite, is velvety smooth, and refuses to ever congeal. This is Highly Recommend, a column dedicated to our very opinionated editors' favorite things to eat, drink, and buy.

In Mexican cuisine, queso blanco is traditionally made from cow's milk, whereas queso fresco ( Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkeso ˈfɾesko]) may be made from a combination of cow's and goat's milk. Some versions of these cheeses, such as Oaxaca cheese, melt well when heated, but most only soften.

Queso fresco is soft, moist, and crumbly, making it perfect for sprinkling over antojitos (little snacks) and beans. Queso fresco is most often crumbled and used as a garnish for all types of Mexican food: on top of enchiladas, inside of tacos, slathered on elote, over huevos rancheros, and on cooked black beans.

Likely invented in Mexico during the 19th century or perhaps earlier, the first known recipe for queso is recorded from 1896, which came out in an American magazine called The Land of Sunshine. The dish was originally called chiles verdes con queso, which translates to “green chilis with cheese”.

You can enjoy it cold, as a thick cheese dip, or reheat it until warm. To reheat queso, place it in a microwave-safe container and microwave in intervals, stirring in between, until heated through.
