This chili con queso recipe is fabulous, especially if you like the mix of Mexican flavors it brings.

Queso is a Mexican dip that is perfect for tortilla chips, but I like to spread it on quesadillas or serve it alongside vegetarian bean burritos for great flavor.

The ingredient list may be a bit longer, but it is SO easy to make and SO worth it. See the many uses for this recipe below.
