Individual Queso Dip Party Cups

No need to chase after the dip when someone snags the bowl - individual queso cups are here. Selfishly (and rightfully) indulge in your personal queso paradise.

Ingredients

  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • Cooking spray or olive oil
  • 16 ounces meltable cheese dip, cut into cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ounce bottle Ortega Mild Green Taco Sauce
  • 2 cans Ortega Diced Green Chiles
  • 1 can Ortega Black Beans
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish
  • Tortilla chips, crackers, or veggies for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a regular size muffin tin (not mini). Use a large circle cookie cutter to cut out 24 circles from the tortillas and gently press them into the muffin tins to form tortilla bowls. (You can also use the lid of a large jar and a knife if you don't have a cookie cutter) Spray the tortillas with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Bake in preheated oven for 6-8 minutes until browned around the edges (watch closely so they don't burn).
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl combine meltable cheese cubes, taco sauce, and green chiles. Microwave for 4 minutes, stir, return to microwave for 1 minute at a time as needed until cheese is completely melted and easy to stir. Stir in black beans and salt.
  3. Spoon queso dip into baked tortilla bowls. Top with chopped cilantro if desired and serve immediately with tortilla chips or veggies for dipping.
