Sriracha Queso Dip Notes
- You can adjust the amount of sriracha you use to suit your spice preference. The amount I use in the recipe is not too hot but just enough to let you know it's there.
- I used a blend of Monterey Jack & Colby but I also think a cheddar blend would work well
- If not serving right away, pour queso into a small slow cooker and set on warm or low to keep warm
