  • 1tsp Ground cumin
  • 1tbsp Lime juice

Instructions
  1. Core, seed and thinly slice ½ small jalapeno
  2. In a covered pot or small enameled cast iron dutch oven, saute jalapeno slices in 1 tbsp butter for 1-2 minutes on low-medium heat, just enough to release flavor. Note: you may want to start with less jalapeno and add to taste.
  3. Cube American cheese into 1” pieces and add to jalapenos
  4. Add 1 tsp ground cumin
  5. Add ½ tsp of Tumeric
  6. Stir slowly while cheese melts. If sauce begins to bubble, reduce temperature
  7. Add ½ cup chicken stock and stir until combined
  8. Stir in ¼ cup heavy cream
  9. Add 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  10. Serve immediately with low-carb tortilla chips and/or low-carb tortillas.
Recipe Notes

Note: if queso cools, just return to stove, warm through on low and stir. The “skin” will dissolve into the mixture. Optional: add crumbled bacon, fresh cilantro, and/or or fried pickled jalapenos on top. I like to serve with sliced avocado,  pico de gallo and chopped tomato on the side so that guests can customize their queso and carbs.
