Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large cast iron pan, over medium-high heat, pour in the milk, and add the cornstarch. Whisk the milk and cornstarch together.
  • Bring to a simmer and whisk until the milk begins to thicken slightly.
  • Stir in the sour cream and heat through.
  • Add the cheeses a little at a time and stir until melted, then add some more, until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the chilis, lime juice, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin.
  • Combine all the ingredients for the pico de gallo in a separate bowl and stir to combine.
  • Heat the brisket in a separate pan until warm (or in the microwave.)
  • Top the cheese sauce with the brisket and pico de gallo and serve with chips.

Notes

Tips

  • To Thin The Queso:  You can thin the cheese sauce to your desired consistency by adding a little regular milk or more evaporated milk.
  • Smooth Queso: If you prefer a smoother, thinner queso, use American cheese instead of the Monterrey jack or pepper jack cheese. 

Variations

  • ​Ground Beef Queso – Instead of brisket, use ground beef in the queso.
  • Velveeta Brisket Queso – Use Velveeta cheese, or white American cheese, instead of the three cheese mixture.
