    Enchilada Queso | How to be Awesome on $20 a Day

    I'm trying this thing where I come home from work and just do whatever I want. Today, that involved finishing off the bottle of Bailey's, microwaving a tortilla with some cheese and stuffing it in my face, then plopping on the couch to watch old episodes of Big Bang Theory and completely space out. I let my husband order takeaway, and I'm thinking that I might not move.


    I guess I'm not 100% successful since I didn't really want to d any work and yet here I am typing away. I guess I just can't keep away from my to do list. But I've just decided that after I finish writing, I'm going to go put on my pajamas, which will elevate this evening to near perfection.

    The other day when I was feeling more productive, I made you Enchilada Queso. This is a simple twist on a classic cheese dip involving nothing more complex than adding some store bought stuff t a simple cheese sauce, then scooping it out with tortilla chips until your body can't take anymore. The enchilada sauce adds a sweet smokiness to the queso that I just love.

    We're sticking to our theme of laziness by combining pre-shredded cheese to a can of evaporated milk along with some corn starch to thicken it. A close of garlic and a green onion add flavor. I buy a jar of enchilada sauce from my grocery store that comes with a packet of seasoning attached to the top, but if you can't get a sauce/seasoning mash up, you can use a packet of your favorite taco seasoning instead. So so easy.

    • 225 grams shredded cheese such as cheddar, Monterrey Jack or colby
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • ½ tablespoon butter
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
