Though its exact origin is somewhat disputed, Chili con Queso has become a staple over the last century in almost every Tex-Mex and Southwestern restaurant, and rightfully so. Our Impossible™ Chile con Queso recipe follows in the footsteps of time-tested, Tex-Mex simplicity. Spanish for “chile with cheese”, Chili con Queso can sometimes have different iterations.

We’ve opted for the traditional version with cheese, a few vegetables, some spices, and of course Impossible Beef to bring it over the top. Serve Impossible Chile con Queso with chips, or go for a more fresh approach with sliced, crisp veggies for dipping. If you manage to have some left over afterward, just refrigerate and save for later—it reheats within a week of making this recipe. Enjoy!

How to prepare

Step 1: Cook the IMPOSSIBLE BEEF

Step 3: AND THE SPICES

Stir in chili powder, cumin, and coriander. Cook for an additional minute.

Step 4: THEN THE TOMATOES

Add tomatoes and heavy cream. Cook for 5 more minutes. Turn heat down to low.

Step 5: CAN'T FORGET THE CHEESE
