High Protein Green Chili Queso
By far my best volume creation yet! Makes 8 servings of about 1/3 cup each. Per serving it comes to 111 cal and 10.9g protein.
Directions: warm 1 1/4 c milk in pan on medium heat. While it warms, mix the other 1/4 c milk with the corn starch. Get it very smooth before adding to the pan. Stir consistently until it thickens. Reduce to low heat once it has simmered. Slowly add the cheese a bit at a time, stirring until fully incorporated before adding more. Melts in best if you shred or finely chop it. Stir in the green chilis. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cumin to taste.
Where the pic says “8 inch cube” it is actually referring to 8 1-inch cubes or 8 oz of low moisture low fat mozzarella. Could use fat free but to me the creaminess from having some fat in cheese is worth it.
This was phenomenal drizzled over baked potato. For some of my leftover I plan to toast some “zero net carb” tortillas to use as chips with it.
Store leftover in fridge. Reheats very nicely in a pot or ok in microwave, stirring for texture.
