• Here are the steps to make the queso dip:
• Prepare the fresh ingredients: Cut the onion, Roma tomato, jalapeno, and cilantro into smaller pieces. Open the canned tomatoes with green chilis. Peel the garlic cloves.
• Put all the fresh ingredients in a blender. Blend them until they are mixed well, but small pieces remain. Add some salt to taste.
• Cut the American cheese and cream cheese into small cubes, about 1 inch in size. Place them in a medium-sized bowl.
• Put the bowl of cheese in the microwave. Heat it for 2 and 30 seconds, stirring it every 30 seconds, until the cheese becomes smooth and melted.
• Take the melted cheese out of the microwave. Add about ¾ cup of the blended mixture from the blender into the bowl with the cheese. Also, add some chili powder and cumin to the mixture. Stir everything together until it becomes smooth.
• Put the bowl back in the microwave for another 30 seconds to let the flavors blend.
• Serve the queso dip immediately while it's warm and ready to enjoy!

Notes

• Here are some important tips for storing and reheating your queso dip:
• Storing leftovers: Put leftover queso dip in a sealed container and store it in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
• Reheating: When you want to enjoy your leftover queso dip again, put it in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir it every 30 seconds to make sure it heats evenly. If the queso dip is too thick after reheating, add some milk to thin it out.
• Melting cheese: If you're melting cheese in the microwave, do it in small increments. Stop to stir the cheese between each increment. This helps prevent the cheese from burning and ensures it melts smoothly.
• Adjusting spiciness: If you prefer your queso dip to be less spicy, you can reduce or eliminate the jalapeno from the recipe.
• Adding meat: Add some chopped chorizo or cooked ground beef for a heartier queso dip at the end of the cooking process. Just heat it along with the dip.
• Freezing: It's not recommended to freeze this queso recipe. Since it contains cheese, it won't freeze and might become grainy when thawed and reheated. It's best to enjoy it fresh or store it in the refrigerator for later use.
