  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2-4 jalapenos diced
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • Taco seasoning optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the smoker to 230°F.
  • While heating, combine all of the ingredients into a foil, or grill safe, dish.

Notes

Can I make this on a regular grill?
Of course! If you want the smoky flavor, purchase wood chips and soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before starting. Add one cup of soaked chips every 30 minutes. Otherwise, just add the queso to the grill and cook according to the recipe.
Can this be made in a slow cooker?
Yes. You can add all of the ingredients directly to a slow cook and cook on low for 4 hours.
