How To Make Mexican Cheese Dip
Get the complete ingredients list and instructions from the recipe card below.
- Preheat the air fryer to 300 degrees F / 149 degrees C.
- Mix all the ingredients into an oven-safe container.
- Place the container into the air fryer basket and air fry for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
- When the dip is hot and bubbly, remove it from the air fryer.
- Serve warm with corn chips.

Expert Tips
- Select an oven-safe container that will hold all of the ingredients and fit inside of your air fryer.
- If you prefer white queso dip, select white cheddar.
- Canned tomatoes with green chiles come in a variety of heat levels and some even have onion powder, or garlic powder added to them. If you can’t find Mexican tomatoes, you can use regular canned tomatoes and add canned green chiles, garlic powder, and onion powder to spice them up.
- For perfectly melted cheese, shredded cheese will melt easier than cubbed cheese. I prefer freshly shredded cheese over bagged cheese.
- Stirring frequently will help you reach the desired consistency. Stir the queso dip every 10 minutes.
- Don’t overcook the queso dip or it can become oily.
- If the dip is too thick you can adjust the consistency by adding more milk and stirring frequently for a silky sauce.
- Air fryers all work differently, so use these times as a guide and adjust based on your specific air fryer.
- Gently reheat in the microwave so the leftover queso dip doesn’t separate and become oily.
- Serve queso dip recipe warm, as the dip will harden as it cools.
Delicious Variations
- Add Aromatics – Add sautéed onions and garlic to really bump up the flavor of the dip. You can also sprinkle on cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Make Mexican White Cheese Dip – Regular cheddar will give the queso dip a yellowish color. Use white cheddar or white American cheese for a white queso Blanco. You can also use pepper jack or Monterey jack cheese.
- Top It Off – Top the finished queso dip with diced fresh tomatoes, green onions, or slices of fresh jalapeno.
- Swap The Tortilla Chip – Tortilla chips are an excellent choice for this dip, but you can also dip Fritos corn chips, crusty bread, pita bread, or veggie sticks.
- Add Meat – Stir in ground beef, chorizo, or even chicken for a meaty queso recipe.

Prep And Storage
- Prep Ahead – Make authentic queso dip in advance and reheat in the microwave when ready to serve.
- Store – Cool air fryer Mexican cheese dip to room temperature and store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freeze – Store cooled Mexican cheese dip recipe in a freezer-safe container in small portions in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw the queso dip into the refrigerator overnight.

FAQs

Really sounds like the perfect dipping sauce for game days. I used to make games. Games have always been my hobby especially online puzzle games https://bestallgames.com/puzzle-games/ Their complex plots inspired me to start making games myself. But today I think more about how to create themed events during which people can have fun. I think details are important during such events and nice additions like your recipes can brighten up any game day. Thank you!
