Mexican cheese salsa recipe

Cheese salsa recipe (Salsa con Queso)

The Cheese salsa for Nachos, better known as ¨Salsa con Queso¨ is an appetizer salsa served mostly in Tex-Mex restaurants; a classic to serve when watching a sports event with friends. It is well known in the cuisine of the south-west of the United States, in Mexico you will only see this salsa in the northern states and at touristic resorts. Although it is sometimes perceived as a mexican recipe, in fact this snack is a creation from southern United States; it can be served with nachos, fried tortillas or totopos. The totopos, if they are the original ones from Mexico, should not be confused with the tortilla chips or Nachos, which are only a commercial version of the real totopos.

Ingredients:

- 1 lb. orange cheddar cheese
- 1 cup evaporated milk
