This Low Calorie Queso Cheese Dip is just 52 calories per serving (1/3 cup).I used sharp cheddar cheese to make this low calorie recipe, it means we won't need as much to get a super cheesy dip. Special Tip: You can thin out the dip more by adding almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. And you can thicken the dip more by simmering for an additional 5-8 minutes.
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat, and spray with olive oil.
Add the onion, salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes until soft, add in the garlic, cumin and chili powder, and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
In a small bowl combine the almond milk and cornstarch and whisk together until there are no lumps.
Slowly add the milk mixture to the onions whisking while you pour.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook for 5-8 minutes until thick.
Remove from the heat and add in the tomato, green chilis, and cream cheese, mix to melt and combine. Then add in the cheddar slowly 1/4 cup at a time, mix well until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is thick.
Serve hot with chips, vegetable sticks, or my Low Calorie Soft Pretzels (recipe above!)
