• Chorizo: Adds savory and spicy depth and turns this into a queso blanco with meat that feels extra satisfying.
• Diced green chiles: Provide mild heat and balance the richness of the cheese.
• Evaporated milk: Richer than regular milk, it helps keep the queso blanco creamy and stable while adjusting the consistency as it melts.
