     Title: Queso
Categories: Cheese, Vegetables, Herbs, Dips, Chilies
     Yield: 6 Servings

MMMMM---------------------------QUESO--------------------------------
     2 lb Block processed American
          - cheese
    10 oz Can diced tomatoes w/chiles
          - (Ro*tel)
          Tortilla chips; for serving

MMMMM-----------------------ADDITIONS (OPT----------------------------
     1 c  Rinsed canned black beans
   3/4 c  Thin sliced scallions
   1/2 c  Chopped cilantro
     2 cl Garlic; minced
   1/2 ts Ground cumin
   1/2 ts Red-pepper flakes; more to
          - taste
   1/4 ts Dried Mexican oregano
   1/4 ts (packed) fresh lime zest
          +=PLUS=+
     2 ts Lime juice
          Minced canned chipotle
          - chilies en adobo
          Salt

 Rough chop the processed cheese in 1" cubes, then add
 to a medium saucepan. Stir in the tomatoes and their
 juices, plus 2/3 cup water, then heat over medium-low,
 stirring frequently, until cheese is melted and mixture
 is creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. You can stop here, and serve
 immediately with chips, or proceed to Step 2, if you're
 feeling extra.

 Stir in any combination of desired additions: black
 beans, scallions, cilantro, garlic, cumin, red-pepper
 flakes, oregano, and lime zest and juice. Heat over low,
 stirring occasionally, until warmed and flavors meld,
 about 5 minutes. If you like some extra heat, stir in
 chipotle chiles en adobo. Season to taste with salt, and
 additional red-pepper flakes, if desired, and serve
 immediately. (You could also keep your queso in a
 slow-cooker on a low setting, stirring occasionally, to
 keep it molten.) Mixture will keep refrigerated for up
 to 1 week.
