yes, but it will still get thicker when it cools if it’s the right runny-ness when it’s hotter. There’s no way to keep any queso dip at the same viscosity at every temperature.

Nothing. See my post above. It’s just a way of signaling that the cheese dip you’re making is intended to have a Tex-Mex flavor.
While reading this I realize we are bout lost in the wilderness with a bag of chips looking for cheese dip…
Aaawwww great, now we’ve got another name for the same thang.
Confusion everywhere :biggrin1:
If it has jalapenos it is queso dip, if it has pimentos it is cheese dip. If it has both it is a fusion dip.
I envy you guys who are confused in a specific locale, I find myself confused everywhere.

And the plot thickens... or is that the queso dip thickens? lol. On a whim I asked ChatGPT to explain the differences between queso dip and cheese dip. Though you all would enjoy it's answer :-D take it with a grain of salt
Queso dip and cheese dip are both types of dips made with cheese, but there are some differences between them:
Queso dip and cheese dip are both types of dips made with cheese, but there are some differences between them:
- Cheese Type: Queso dip typically uses processed cheese, such as Velveeta, which melts smoothly and consistently. Cheese dip can be made with a variety of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a combination of different cheeses.
- Flavor Profile: Queso dip often has a milder and creamier flavor due to the use of processed cheese. Cheese dips made with natural cheeses can have a more pronounced and varied flavor depending on the cheese(s) used.
- Ingredients: Queso dip commonly incorporates additional ingredients like diced tomatoes, green chilies, jalapeños, onions, or spices to enhance the flavor. Cheese dip can be made with just cheese and some basic ingredients like milk or cream, without many additional flavorings.
- Texture: Queso dip tends to have a smoother and more homogeneous texture due to the nature of processed cheese. Cheese dips made with natural cheeses can have a slightly grainy or stringy texture when melted, depending on the cheese used.
- Culinary Context: Queso dip is commonly associated with Mexican or Tex-Mex cuisine, often served with tortilla chips or used as a topping for nachos, tacos, or enchiladas. Cheese dip, on the other hand, is a more general term and can be used in various cuisines or as a versatile dip for different types of snacks or appetizers.
