The word on my lips this month is THANKSGIVING. Simply my fave American holiday! It has already got me daydreaming of pecan pie, brined turkey, and everything else that comes with it.

We’re gonna start this holiday with an easy and quick appetizer, Queso Fundido Dip… oh my! It is so ooey-gooey, salty-sweet and mildly spicy…

… truly the best dish to start such an great celebration. The best thing about this appetizer is that it requires just a few simple ingredients and can be made in less than 30 minutes.

It can also feed a lot of mouths! It’s also low carb, keto, and gluten-free!

HOW TO MAKE QUESO FUNDIDO DIP

All you have to do is to heat olive oil in a medium skillet and sweat diced onions.

Then stir in white wine and melting cheeses such as Cacique Queso Manchego and Queso Quesadilla until melted and bubbly.

Next,  all that is needed is to add a chopped jalapeno, dried cranberries and fresh herbs.

And voilà, you have an instant, crowd-pleasing starter, ready to be eaten by hungry tummies… and it is even better served with tortilla chips.

ABOUT CACIQUE CHEESES

The Queso Quesadilla (a nutty and buttery cheese with a creamy mouth feel) and Queso Manchego (a nutty, hearty-flavored cheese),  located at a local supermarket near you here.

I am telling ya, there is nothing more delish than several scoops of those warm, melted cheeses serve with the crunchy sound of crispy tortilla chips.

Ay, ay, ay… right now I feel like reaching out for that skillet of queso fundido again.

I want to gobble up everything… all by myself! But sharing is a must for this holiday occasion, especially sharing with those that you are thankful for– all of those who make one’s life happy.

Our Jalapeno Dip is one thing that one can make and share with them!

I wish for your holiday party to be magical — with am overflowing table and people that you love.

From my family to yours,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

    Such a gorgeous dip, and the flavors are calling out for tortilla chips, aren’t they! The green jalapenos and red cranberries take this crowd pleaser all the way to Christmas!
