I have an undeniable queso addiction. It’s been years in the making and I have zero intentions of trying to get over it any time soon because queso is LIFE. I mean, smooth and creamy, totally dippable CHEESE?? I come from a dipping family. Give us ALL the sauce. Thankfully my husband is equally crazy about all things cheesy and dippy. We are a queso family and proud of it.
I’ve partnered up with Ortega today to bring you one of my favorite queso recipes, perfect for game day and parties! Ortega offers consumers a full line of high quality, great tasting Mexican food products designed to create an eating experience the whole family can enjoy together. Ortega transforms the ordinary meal into a festive, fun and memorable occasion.
Five simple ingredients will transform your standard every day queso dip into an appetizer fit for a tailgating bash for cheese lovers. All you’ve got to do is start with meltable cheese and add Ortega Taco Sauce – I’m especially crazy about their Green Tomato and Tomatillo Taco Sauce! – along with Ortega Diced Green Chiles, Ortega Black Beans, and a bit of salt in a microwave-safe bowl. A few minutes in the microwave will give you super melty and creamy cheese dip loaded with flavor, ready for devouring.
For more than 100 years, Ortega has been committed to family mealtime by providing a wide range of authentic, high-quality products to make Mexican meals at home. Everything from Taco Shells and Kits, to Salsas, Dips and Refried Beans. Not to mention America’s #1 Taco Sauce and Diced Green Chiles. You can trust you’re getting bold Mexican flavors when you’re using Ortega in your home cooking.
As if this queso recipe wasn’t amazing enough all on it’s own, I’ve included a little muffin tin hack to help you create indidivual queso tortilla cups for serving up your delectable dip in style. These fun little edible party cups are the perfect addition to your Super Bowl party. Your party guests are going to flip for this appetizer!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a regular size muffin tin (not mini). Use a large circle cookie cutter to cut out 24 circles from the tortillas and gently press them into the muffin tins to form tortilla bowls. (You can also use the lid of a large jar and a knife if you don’t have a cookie cutter) Spray the tortillas with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Bake in preheated oven for 6-8 minutes until browned around the edges (watch closely so they don’t burn).
In a large microwave-safe bowl combine meltable cheese cubes, taco sauce, and green chiles. Microwave for 4 minutes, stir, return to microwave for 1 minute at a time as needed until cheese is completely melted and easy to stir. Stir in black beans and salt.
Spoon queso dip into baked tortilla bowls. Top with chopped cilantro if desired and serve immediately with tortilla chips or veggies for dipping.
