Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Cup Milk
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 Cups Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Cup Pepper Jack Cheese
  • 1 Whole Poblano roasted
  • 1 Whole Hatch Green Chile roasted
  • 1 Cup Tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 Cup Onion diced
  • 3 Cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil

Instructions

  • To start out, roast the Green Chile and Poblano Pepper until they are blackened. I like to use my air fryer for this step, I cook them at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Place the roasted chiles in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let them sit for 15 minutes to sweat. This will help the skins come off easily.
  • Dice the onion and mince the garlic while the peppers are sweating. Then, remove the skins, seeds and stems from the peppers, and dice them.
  • Heat up a small saucepan and add olive oil to the pan when hot.
  • Add the onions, sauté for 2-3 minutes before adding the garlic and cooking for another minute. Add the remaining ingredients except the cheese and stir.
  • Bring to a low simmer then add the cheese.
  • Cook for 5-10 minutes until thick.
  • Serve the queso with tortilla chips or add it to your favorite recipes!
