This Hatch chile Oaxaca cheese dip turns three ingredients and a hot bed of coals into one of the fastest appetizers you\u2019ll pull off the grill all summer. <\/p>\n
A block of Oaxaca cheese goes soft and stringy in the center of a skillet while fresh corn and Hatch chiles char around the edges, so every scoop gets a mix of gooey cheese, sweet corn, and that unmistakable Hatch chile smokiness.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve spent a lot of competition weekends standing over coals, and dips like this one are exactly what I reach for between turning in entries. Minimal ingredients, minimal fuss, maximum payoff. It\u2019s part of the growing lineup of skillet cheese dips here on GCG, where different cheeses each get their moment on the grate.<\/p>\n

<\/source><\/picture><\/figure>\nWhat Is Hatch Chile Oaxaca Cheese Dip<\/h2>\n
Oaxaca cheese is a semi-soft, stringy Mexican cheese. It\u2019s kind of like mozzarella\u2019s cousin. It melts beautifully without breaking or going greasy. Pairing it with Hatch chiles<\/a> (a green chile variety prized for its smoky heat) and sweet corn gives you a dip that tastes like a cross between queso fundido and street corn<\/a>, all cooked in a single skillet over live fire.<\/p>\n Prep Grill: <\/strong>Heat your grill to medium heat. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Prep Skillet: <\/strong>Cut the Oaxaca cheese in half so it forms a block about 1 inch thick. Add oil to a cast iron skillet.Place the cheese in the center of the skillet. Surround the cheese with the corn and Hatch chiles. Sprinkle everything with taco seasoning.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Cook: <\/strong>Place the skillet on the grill over coals for about 20 minutes, until the center of the cheese is melted.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Warm Chips: <\/strong>During the last 5 minutes, place tortilla chips in a pan on the grill to warm. Toss occasionally. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Calories: <\/span>686<\/span>kcal<\/span><\/span>Carbohydrates: <\/span>65<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Protein: <\/span>22<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Fat: <\/span>39<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Saturated Fat: <\/span>18<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Polyunsaturated Fat: <\/span>9<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Monounsaturated Fat: <\/span>6<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Trans Fat: <\/span>0.1<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Cholesterol: <\/span>26<\/span>mg<\/span><\/span>Sodium: <\/span>985<\/span>mg<\/span><\/span>Potassium: <\/span>226<\/span>mg<\/span><\/span>Fiber: <\/span>6<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Sugar: <\/span>3<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>Vitamin A: <\/span>121<\/span>IU<\/span><\/span>Vitamin C: <\/span>6<\/span>mg<\/span><\/span>Calcium: <\/span>122<\/span>mg<\/span><\/span>Iron: <\/span>1<\/span>mg<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Nutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
