What do you use Qdoba’s queso for?

While Qdoba’s queso is amazing, you can use it in many ways. We’ve compiled a list of our favorite five ways to use this copycat Qdoba queso recipe.

Appetizer

Serve this queso dip with tortilla chips as an appetizer at your next party. It’s always a hit and perfect for that game day event or holiday party.

Main dish

Queso is the perfect topping for any Mexican-inspired dish. Try it on tacos, enchiladas, burritos, burrito bowls, or just plain rice and beans. We think it is perfect over a taco salad with black beans and next to the sour cream and guacamole. It has more flavor than pico de gallo.

Snack

Queso is also great as a snack. Dip some fresh veggies or pretzels in it, or just eat it straight up with a spoon!

Quesadillas

One of our favorite ways to use queso is in quesadillas. Simply spread some on a tortilla, add your favorite fillings, and grill until golden and crispy. So good!

Queso fundido

Queso fundido is a delicious Mexican dish similar to queso dip, with grilled meats and veggies. It’s the perfect way to use up any leftover queso (if you have any!).

Qdoba 3 Cheese Queso

That is what my teen calls this – and for a pretty simple reason: we use three different kinds of cheese to make it. This Qdoba 3 Cheese Queso is, in fact, very close to the Qdoba queso recipe. While none seem like traditional Mexican cheeses, they blend and work wonderfully to create the best queso dip recipe we have made. We use real cheese, not cheese food like Velveeta in this not-so top secret recipe

Qdoba Queso Copycat Recipe Ingredients:

• 1 cup white American cheese or queso blend shredded cheese
• 1 cup white cheddar cheese shreds
• 1 cup Monterey jack cheese – shredded
• 1, or 2 small poblano peppers, seeded & chopped
• 1 can fire roasted tomatoes
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup jalapeno juice
• Salt & pepper to taste

How to make our Qdoba queso recipe:

Combine the 3 kinds of cheese, poblano, tomatoes, and heavy cream in a slow cooker, mixing well.

Cook on low for 2-3 hours or high for 1 ½ hours stirring occasionally.

When cooking time is up, stir in jalapeno juice and salt & pepper to taste

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, and enjoy!
