As I shared in my Monday post, my husband and I happened to stumble across authentic Hatch green chiles during a promotional event at our local grocery store.
Volunteers were roasting the chiles onsite, and their aroma was so addicting that we decided we needed a couple of pounds to take home.
After prepping our roasted peppers – peeling, seeding and chopping, we were ready to put them to good use.
As I promised (or teased...), here is a recipe for Chile con Queso that I adapted from this New Mexico Hatch Chile app.
Hatch Chile con Queso
2 cups grated cheese (we used a Mexican blend which included:
Chihuahua, Asadero, Monterrey Jack and cheddar)
½ cup sour cream
1 tomato, seeded and chopped
2 Hatch green chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
In a medium saucepan, combine cheeses and sour cream over
low heat until cheese is melted. Stir
continuously to prevent scorching. Stir
in the tomatoes, chiles and garlic powder. 2 cups grated cheese (we used a Mexican blend which included:
Chihuahua, Asadero, Monterrey Jack and cheddar)
½ cup sour cream
1 tomato, seeded and chopped
2 Hatch green chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Tip: we needed to stir the mixture for quite a while to bind the cheese and sour cream. It was worth the wait though.
You can use the queso as a dip with tortilla chips or spoon into warmed flour tortillas, roll and enjoy!
Next up on Monday….
Green Chile Cheeseburgers and a refreshing Silver Coin Margarita.
Have a great day!
