Queso Dip – Mexican Cheese Dip

Everybody loves a great Queso Dip (otherwise known as a warm Mexican Cheese Dip).  This Queso Dip recipe is the best – warm, delicious, moreish and a true party pleaser.  It is quick and easy to make, and can be made the day before and heated just before serving.  I love serving it with plain corn chips. But you could also serve it with toasted pieces of roll, crackers or vegetable sticks.

This Queso Dip is full of cheese, tomatoes, green chillies and smoked paprika. This is one of the dips that absolutely everyone loves and will eat until the bowl is practically licked clean. It is also a gluten free dip by default.
