This Copycat 54th Street Gringo Dip is a creamy and flavorful spinach queso dip that combines Velveeta queso blanco, fresh spinach, and zesty Pico de Gallo for a perfect party appetizer or snack. Smooth, cheesy, and slightly spicy with a hint of Parmesan, it’s a crowd-pleaser served warm with chips.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 5 ounces frozen spinach
  • 16 ounces Velveeta queso blanco (cut into large cubes)
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups prepared Pico de Gallo
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to spice preference)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spinach: Defrost the frozen spinach completely. Once thawed, squeeze out all excess water to prevent the dip from becoming watery. Roughly chop the spinach to distribute evenly in the dip.
  2. Melt the Cheese: Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the Velveeta queso blanco cubes. Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
  3. Add Milk: Pour in the whole milk gradually, whisking constantly to blend it smoothly with the melted cheese and create a creamy base.
  4. Incorporate Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the prepared Pico de Gallo, chopped spinach, Parmesan cheese, and cayenne pepper. Continue cooking over medium heat while stirring until the dip is hot and well combined. The dip will thicken as it sits.
  5. Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and enjoy warm with tortilla chips or your favorite dippers.

Notes

  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level for a milder or spicier dip.
  • Ensure all water is squeezed out from the spinach to avoid dilution of the dip.
  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for best flavor and texture.
  • This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker on low for serving at parties.
  • For a thicker dip, allow it to sit covered at room temperature for a few minutes after cooking.
