Ingredients

• 16 ounces White American cheese, shredded or cubed
• 8 ounces Pepper Jack cheese, shredded
• 10 ounces Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
• 1 cup Evaporated milk
• 1 piece Fresh jalapeño, finely diced (optional for extra heat)
• 2 tablespoons Tequila (silver or blanco)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
• 1 bag Tortilla chips

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients by shredding the cheeses, finely dicing the jalapeño (if using), and opening the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies.

Step 2

In a slow cooker, add the shredded or cubed white American cheese and shredded Pepper Jack cheese.

Step 3

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies and the evaporated milk. Stir gently to combine.

Step 4

Add the diced jalapeño (if using), tequila, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to evenly distribute the spices and tequila.

Step 5

Set the slow cooker to low heat and cover with the lid. Cook for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring every 15-20 minutes to ensure the cheese melts evenly and doesn’t burn on the edges.

Step 6

Once the cheese has fully melted and the mixture is smooth, give it a taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add a pinch of salt or an extra splash of tequila if desired.

Step 7

Switch the slow cooker to warm mode for serving and garnish the queso with chopped cilantro, if using.

Step 8

Serve the queso straight from the crock pot with lime wedges on the side and tortilla chips for dipping.

Step 9

Enjoy this rich, flavorful dip with your favorite party snacks!
