Queso is Spanish for cheese but in this case it's an abbreviation for chile con queso, rather than celebrating cheese itself. Chile con queso means chili with cheese and is a cheese dip that is part of Tex-Mex cuisine. It is derived from Queso chihuahua and Queso flameado from the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
Chili con queso is a creamy sauce that is used for dipping. It's made from a blend of melted cheeses, chili peppers and cream and its most basic, but it can have other ingredients added too. The dish is served warm and, most commonly with tortilla chips, pita chips or tortillas. It is also used to top many other Tex-Mex dishes, including tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, quesadillas and migas.
