Looking to skip the salsa with those chips? National Queso Day is a tasty excuse to celebrate that cheesy, rich goodness. From being delicious with chips to a variety of other food options, people cannot not get enough of that queso. While that creamy, gooey dip might not be an authentic Mexican food, it is a popular choice at many restaurants. Maybe it is time to order a bowl and get to the bottom of this food conversation.

National Queso Day is celebrated on September 20. While National Today reports that queso originated in Chihuahua, Mexico, that version of the dip might not be the same as the one served at various restaurants. Whether the original version was “chili con queso” or something else, you don’t have to be a cheesehead to enjoy that bowl of creamy goodness.

While some people cannot resist queso, it isn’t the only type of cheesy Mexican inspired food. For example, queso fundido is another food that is slightly heartier. This griddled cheese might lessen the worry of spilling with those chips.
