Gluten Free Appetizers: Queso

We’ve included the best gluten free appetizer recipes in this collection and we’ve done our best to sort them by type. You can make gluten free appetizers year round. They make great starters, party food, and some of them are also great options for dinner.

Prep Time

1 minute

Cook Time

5 minutes

Total Time

6 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 and ¼ cups half and half (or heavy whipping cream)
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• ½ teaspoon cayenne (or more for more spice)
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 can diced tomatoes and green chiles, drained
• 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped

Instructions

1. Add the half and half to a medium cooking pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
2. Add in the cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt and stir until combined.
3. Add in the sharp cheddar cheese and stir until combined and the cheese is melted.
4. Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilis and the chopped peppers in adobe sauce.
5. Serve hot with tortilla chips.

Notes

• You can grate a block of cheese or use pre-shredded cheese. Just note that sometimes pre-shredded cheeses use fillers to prevent sticking. Always check labels.
• You can use half and half, or heavy whipping cream. If you use heavy whipping cream add a couple of table spoons of water to thin it out otherwise your smoked queso will be too thick.
• If you like your smoked queso dip spicier, increase the cayenne pepper or add some chopped jalapenos.
• If you don’t like spice, leave out the cayenne pepper and the chiles.
