Instructions
1. Prepare the Beef:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a cast-iron skillet (or oven-safe pan), cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking up any clumps.
- When halfway cooked, stir in all seasonings except soy sauce and sugar.
- Once the beef is fully cooked, add soy sauce and sugar, stirring well. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then turn off the heat.
2. Make the Queso Dip:
- To the same skillet, add Velveeta, Boursin (or cream cheese), onion, garlic, tomato, jalapeño, cumin, paprika, and oregano.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.
3. Finish & Serve:
- Stir until everything is well combined, then mix in lime juice.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cheese Choice: Velveeta gives a creamy texture, but for a more natural flavor, use shredded cheddar + cream cheese.
- Soy Sauce Alternative: Substitute with Worcestershire sauce for a deeper umami taste.
- Spice Level: Adjust chili powder and jalapeño to taste.
