Kitchen Sink Queso, chili con carne recipesKitchen Sink Queso
Compliments of Don Reha, Winemaker,
Thornton Winery.
“Our 2005 Moscato is a perfect match with what I call "Kitchen Sink Queso". Because the Moscato is lightly sweet, it pairs well with this spicy appetizer type dish. Lemony aromas and citrus are abundant in this wine, with flavors of melon, pineapple, and mango. The juicy fruit finish is just right to cool down the heat from the queso, especially when served well chilled.

Ingredients
Velveta cheese (regular or fiesta) or Que Bueno nacho cheese sauce (Costco)
Pace picanté sauce
Cilantro - finely diced
Dennison's spicy chili w/ beans
Roma tomatoes - diced
Chili powder
Canned cut Jalapenos
White onion - diced

Directions
Combine the cheese, picantè sauce, chili, onion, and a touch of the juice from the jalapenos in desired portions.
Heat the mixture and combine well.
Season to taste with chili powder, then add cilantro and tomatoes, and mix.
Garnish with jalapenos, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.
