Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Small sheet tray
  • Small Bowl
  • Small pot

Ingredients
  

  • 2 small poblanos
  • 2 jalapeños
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¼ of a small onion minced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 ¼ cup chicken stock or veggie!
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp cayenne
  • ⅓ cup pumpkin puree*
  • 4 oz monterey jack shredded**
  • 4 oz sharp cheddar shredded
  • 2 Tbsp heavy cream
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • Hot sauce and fresh cilantro for serving
  • Tortilla chips for dipping

Instructions
 

  • Turn broiler to high. Place poblanos and jalapeños on small sheet tray.
  • Place under the broiler to char peppers all over. Turn peppers as necessary to evenly char. This should take about 10 minutes.
  • Place charred peppers in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam. Once cooled, remove the skins and seeds from the peppers. Chop peppers and set aside.
  • In a small pot melt butter over medium heat. Sweat onion and garlic until soft, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute.
  • Whisk in chicken stock and bring mixture to a simmer. Stir in spices and pumpkin puree.
  • Cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove sauce from heat and add in cheese, a little at a time, stirring to melt before adding in more. Melting in the cheese off heat will keep your queso smooth and silky!
  • Once all the cheese is melted in, whisk in the cream. Stir in reserved peppers, saving some for the top as garnish.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve topped with roasted peppers, hot sauce, and cilantro if desired.
  • Enjoy with tortilla chips!

Notes

* You can also make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a sugar pumpkin, cut in half, at 425ºF for about 30 minutes. Once soft, scoop out the seeds and discard. Remove flesh and blend until smooth.
** It’s much better to grate your own cheese for this recipe. pre shredded cheese has added starches that will make the queso grainy
