MMMMM---------------------------QUESO--------------------------------
2 lb Block processed American
- cheese
10 oz Can diced tomatoes w/chiles
- (Ro*tel)
Tortilla chips; for serving

MMMMM-----------------------ADDITIONS (OPT----------------------------
1 c Rinsed canned black beans
3/4 c Thin sliced scallions
1/2 c Chopped cilantro
2 cl Garlic; minced
1/2 ts Ground cumin
1/2 ts Red-pepper flakes; more to
- taste
1/4 ts Dried Mexican oregano
1/4 ts (packed) fresh lime zest
+=PLUS=+
2 ts Lime juice
Minced canned chipotle
- chilies en adobo
Salt

Rough chop the processed cheese in 1" cubes, then add
to a medium saucepan. Stir in the tomatoes and their
juices, plus 2/3 cup water, then heat over medium-low,
stirring frequently, until cheese is melted and mixture
is creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. You can stop here, and serve
immediately with chips, or proceed to Step 2, if you're
feeling extra.

Stir in any combination of desired additions: black
beans, scallions, cilantro, garlic, cumin, red-pepper
flakes, oregano, and lime zest and juice. Heat over low,
stirring occasionally, until warmed and flavors meld,
about 5 minutes. If you like some extra heat, stir in
chipotle chiles en adobo. Season to taste with salt, and
additional red-pepper flakes, if desired, and serve
immediately. (You could also keep your queso in a
slow-cooker on a low setting, stirring occasionally, to
keep it molten.) Mixture will keep refrigerated for up
to 1 week.
