Name: Quealy’s Queso
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 1 pound Velveeta cheese; 3/4 cup heavy cream; 3 tablespoons sambal oelek or sriracha

Chili con queso is a standard party dip in South Texas, where the chef Quealy Watson lives and works: melted cheese with chopped green chiles, generally, to be served with chips. Watson gives the dish an Asian spin, using the Southeast Asian chile paste known as sambal oelek in place of the green chiles. The Velveeta cheese he calls for is not for everyone, but it is powerfully easy to work with — you couldn’t break it if you tried. Heavy cream helps thin out the queso a little, and the chile paste gives it a fascinating fire.

Velveeta cheese

heavy cream

sambal oelek

Cut cheese into chunks, and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Add cream and sambal oelek.

Microwave on high setting for 3 minutes, then stir, and microwave again for a few minutes until the cheese is molten. Stir again to combine.

Add a splash of water to thin mixture if necessary, then microwave for 20 seconds more. Serve immediately, with tortilla chips.
