Monterey Jack Queso Recipe
I love Mexican food and when I dine out, I enjoy the Fajita platters with the white Queso dip. As always, I decided to re-create the Beef Fajitas that I love sooo much, but I couldn't figure out the Queso dip. I love the smooth flavor of the white Queso so I hope you enjoy it, my family loved it!
