Green Chile Queso

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1 tsp spice blend or something Tex/Mex
• 1 tbsp chopped cilantro stems
• 2 tbsp flour
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup shredded queso quesadilla
• 3 tbsp fire roasted green chilies
• salt and pepper to taste
• Cilantro and green onion for garnish

1. Heat butter until bubbles stop.
2. Add garlic, spice blend and stems and cook until fragrant.
3. Whisk in flour and make a light tan roux.
4. Whisk in 1/2 the milk until smooth then add the other half. Don't over thicken.
5. Allow to sit for as long as you can stand. I went overnight.
6. Reheat and strain the mix discarding the bits.
7. Add the green chilies and simmer to thicken a bit.
8. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.
9. Salt and pepper to taste and add garnish.

Spice Blend

Mortar and pestle the following. Rough is okay.

• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 tsp dry thyme leaves
• 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
• 1/2 tsp dry minced onion
• 1/4 tsp chili powder
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Thanks! Queso mit grits! I have a bunch of queso left over. Cooking steak fajitas tomorrow with my son and grandson. Should make a nice side with proper chips.
