It is cheesy and slightly salty but tastes great when mixed with onions, cumin, and red bell peppers.

Ricos White Cheese sauce can complement other side dips like nacho cheese, salsa-con-queso, and guacamole.

We tried the con queso cheese dip with chips, and it has the right kick of cheese, poblano, diced tomatoes, and jalapeños.

We also noticed a hint of cilantro and a slight touch of processed cheese which is typical for grocery store queso.

Why We Like It: On the Border is not your ordinary melted cheese dip because this white con queso boasts a flavorful and velvety palate profile.

It is our go-to dip because the green bell peppers, jalapeños, and tomato stirred on the dip complement each other.

Unlike the On the Border Salsa Con Queso, it has a mild spiciness, and the Monterey Jack cheese taste is remarkable.
