White Cheese Dip (Queso)

SmHerndon's Note:

Just like you get at the best Mexican grills! The asadero cheese is priced so low at Save-A-Lot, so that is where I purchase mine.

I lived in Mexico, and "authentic Mexican restaurants" don't usually serve cheese dip at all! Normally what is served is Pico De Gallo ( a mix of tomato, garlic, onion, cilantro, and lime juice) This to me tasted a lot like what I have had a American Mexican restaurants. Everyone that tasted it liked it. Any white Mex. cheese can be used to make this also. I have made it with asadero, queso fresco, and chihuahua. It was very good.

Not at all the white cheese that I have had at authentic mexican restaurants. Very disappointed.
