Alternatively, you can heat it gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. For a richer flavor, some people prefer to warm it in the oven. It is best served warm.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike thinner salsa, this queso has a thick, creamy consistency due to the cheese base. It is also generally milder than a spicy salsa, making it more accessible to a wider range of tastes. The addition of cheese provides a distinct richness not found in tomato-based salsas.
