how to make a cheese sauce without the texture being gritty

It is queso blanco (white) after all and I wanted to keep it that way. I opted to use only the peppers, not the sauce, as this would turn this white queso a shade of orange. Fermented creams that you can purchase in your favorite grocery store are creme fraiche and sour cream – I went with sour cream.Ĭhipotles in adobo (which are jalapeños that have been dried, smoked and packed in adobo sauce) is what gives the queso its very slight smokiness. One of Chipotle’s ingredients calls for cultured cream (aka fermented cream) and this is what brings the tang to the queso.

You’ll need a lot of tortilla chips because it’s impossible to find any measure of restraint when eating this cheesy dip!īased on the comments I’ve received over the years, I know that are literally dozens of you that have made my older recipe and if you prefer it, I can send it to you, but this is more authentic to the original version served in the Chipotle restaurants.

After many (and I mean many!) recipe tests and eating countless bowls, this is recipe is a keeper. With Chipotle restaurant releasing their ingredient list of 13 components, it has made my job easier to recreate their new and improved version ( not their old original version). My Copycat Chipotle Queso Blanco is smooth, creamy and cheesy with the right amount of spice and it’s as close as you can get to the real recipe! You can now make your own Copycat Chipotle Queso Blanco at home and be the envy of just about everyone.
