Spice up your snack boards with this delicious gluten-free queso recipe that pairs perfectly with salty crackers. I created this queso dip to go on my Family Movie Night Snack Board and I served it with crunchy Crunchmaster crackers for dipping.
10ouncescanned diced tomatoes with green chiliesdrained
1bagCrunchmaster crackerschoice flavor
Instructions
Add the avocado oil to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Then add the diced yellow onion and jalapeño to the pan. Stir and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Add 1 ¼ cups of the milk to the saucepan and heat until just about simmering, being sure not to bring it to a boil. With the remaining ¼ cup milk, mix it together with the cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
Once the milk and onion mixture is hot, add the cornstarch slurry, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt and black pepper. Whisk 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat.
Add the cheddar cheese and mix until smooth.
Reserve ¼ cup of the diced tomato and green chile mixture for serving. Add the remaining diced tomatoes and stir to combine.
Top with reserved diced tomatoes and serve immediately with Crunchmaster crackers.
Notes
I served this cheesy queso dip with salty crackers and cucumber slices (and sometimes baby carrots too).I made this queso dip for my Family Movie Night Snack Board and it was a big hit. I loaded the snackboard with the fresh queso, Crunchmaster crackers, sliced cucumbers, gluten-free pigs in a blanket, regular and caramel popcorn and my favorite gluten-free movie theater candies (Milk Duds, M&Ms and gummy bears).Store leftover queso in a sealed container in your fridge for up to a week. Make sure dip cools before covering and placing it in your fridge.
