chili con queso

Spicy cheese dip

Chili con queso, often shortened to queso, is a creamy dip made from melted cheese and chili peppers, popular in Tex-Mex cuisine.

The name is Spanish for "chili with cheese." It's typically served warm with tortilla chips and appears on the appetizer menus of Mexican restaurants throughout the United States.

We ordered queso and margaritas to start.
