Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 85/15 or 90/10 lean
- 3 tbsp taco seasoning or 1 packet
- 1 tbsp gluten-free flour Bob's Red Mill 1:1 or all-purpose
- 1-2 cups chicken stock milk, or water, add more if necessary
- 5 cups Pepperjack cheese grated
Toppings:
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes quartered
- 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
- 1/2 cup green onion thinly sliced
- 1 cup sour cream or more to serve
- 1 ripe avocado sliced or diced
- 1 lime cut into wedges
- 1 pound bag corn tortilla chips
Instructions
- Sauté the ground beef in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into little bits.
- Add the taco seasoning and stir until combined. Add the flour and lower the heat to medium. Add 1 cup chicken stock/milk/water and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Turn the heat down to low and add the grated cheese. Cook, stirring constantly, to melt the cheese without boiling it. Don't boil the cheese, or it will be grainy! Add more chicken stock or water if the queso is too thick, you're looking for a smooth creamy dip texture.
- Turn the heat off, top the beef queso dip with all the fresh topping, and serve immediately with any leftover toppings and tortilla chips.
