Flavor Variations for this Microwave Queso Dip 

This easy microwave Queso recipe is meant to be a black canvas fo your own queso creations! 

Make it spicy! If you are looking for more heat, chop up fresh jalapeños and mix it in. Even using already pickled jalapeños is a fun addition for a spicy, sweet, and tangy kick!

Double the protein. Craving a fully loaded queso dip? Saute some spicy chorizo or ground beef and stir it in once the cheese has fully melted. 

Let is rain loads of cilantro! We are huge cilantro lovers in this house, so I always say the more cilantro, the better. 

Green chilis are a staple in my pantry. Those tiny chilis pack a bit of heat, but not as much as jalapeños. Open up a can and add them to the rest of the ingredients before popping the bowl in the microwave. 

What to Serve with Microwave Queso Dip 

You can go the traditional tortilla chip route, but you can also use fresh sliced veggies. Think celery, cucumbers, and carrots! Regular potato chips are obviously a delicious choice too! 

If you don’t finish all of the queso, seal it up and put it in the fridge for later. It reheats very well and will last up to five days.
