TexMex “chile con queso,” vegetarian-style
- 1 lb. block Velveeta cheese (choose carefully, the big blocks you see everywhere are 2 lbs.)
- 1 can Rotel tomatoes and chilies
In a microwave safe bowl, cut the Velveeta block into 1-inch pieces. Try to keep the pieces uniform in size, but don’t worry if you cut a few pieces slightly small or larger than their neighbors. Pour the can of Rotel over the cubed cheese. Place in microwave and cook for 3 minutes on medium heat. Stir slowly; all the lumps should be gone and the texture creamy and smooth. If you still have lumps, microwave on high one minute more.
