This queso dip is rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with the tangy kick of salsa.
The Velveeta ensures a silky texture, while the shredded cheese adds depth and extra cheesiness.
It’s a no-fail recipe that delivers classic Tex-Mex flavor with almost zero effort.
Tips
- Stir occasionally to prevent the cheese from sticking to the sides.
- Use chunky salsa for added texture or smooth salsa for a creamier dip.
- Serve with tortilla chips, pretzels, or drizzle over nachos and fries.
- For a thinner consistency, stir in a splash of milk once melted.
Corrections & Variations
- Too thick? Add 2–4 tablespoons of milk and stir until smooth.
- Too spicy? Mix in a little cream cheese or sour cream to mellow the heat.
- Add-ins (optional): Cooked ground beef, chorizo, or diced jalapeños can be stirred in after melting.
Enjoy

Simple, satisfying, and always a hit—this is one dip you’ll come back to again and again.
Enjoy every gooey bite!
