On a recent trip to Austin, Texas, I ate myself through the city. I had Chili Con Queso for every meal and I don’t regret it one bit. This recipe was created right after that trip.
Firstly, I have to admit that I would happily make this and eat it all by myself…lol! However, it’s really the perfect food for a casual group gathering. Furthermore, it’s also going to be perfect for those big match days.
Tips for Choosing Those Tortilla Chips!
- So, this might seem obvious…but try to find a bag with fewer broken chips! I just get so annoyed when I open the bag and they are all in little pieces. Hence I try to find a bag I can see through, to make sure those tortilla chips are for the most part going to be lovely and whole!
- Additionally, don’t go for the cheapest chips. Certainly, they will get eaten…but for a better taste all around you want a higher quality chip.
So, guys! If you make this Chili Con Queso, please leave a comment and indeed give this recipe a share!
