This is a great cheese sauce recipe! The cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder make all the difference. I used a pound of Velveeta and it was awesome, my husband says its better than the restaurant! So good, exactly like the sauce at my favorite Mexican restaurant! I put this over burritos and make Mexican rice for a side. A great meal that I don’t need to go out for.
This dip is similar to white cheese sauces served in many Mexican restaurants. The amount of heat can be adjusted by adding your favorite chili pepper or crushed cayenne pepper to taste. As is, it is kid-friendly, quick, and delicious! It can be used as a dip for tortilla chips or a sauce for many Mexican dishes.
