| 1 1/2 cups | green chiles,, (canned or fresh, peeled and finely diced) |
| 1/2 cup | diced fresh tomato |
| 1/2 cup | diced onion |
| 1/2 cup | diced celery |
| 2 teaspoons | Tex-Mex Spice, (recipe below) |
| 1 cup | chicken broth |

| TEX-MEX SPICE | |
| 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons | ground cumin |
| 3 tablespoons | granulated garlic |
| 2 tablespoons | salt |

This spice mix responds best when it is slightly browned during the cooking process. It keeps well in an airtight container or ziplock bag.
DIRECTIONS
1
In a saucepan, combine all ingredients except cheese. Bring to a light simmer and gently cook for about 5 minutes. Turn heat down and add the cheese. Simmer until cheese is melted. Add water if it’s too thick or more cheese if it’s too thin.
2
Variations: If you don’t have green chiles, you can substitute green bell peppers.
3
For extra-spicy queso, reduce green chiles to 1 cup and add 1/2 cup of diced fresh serranos or jalapenos.
NOTES
Ever since I can remember, there has been one thing that everyone in the family could agree on. There must be queso. We've had many great times at Matt's over the years... And of course there will be many more to come! The Famous Matt's El Rancho queso
