Notes
Storage
- Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Pulled pork is good for about 4 days, so adjust your queso storage time accordingly to the date you originally made the pulled pork.
- Chill the queso in the fridge, then freeze it for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container.
- To reheat the queso, defrost it if frozen. Then cook it in a saucepan over medium-low heat until warm, or microwave individual portions at 1-minute intervals.
- Cut your cheese into small chunks of approximately the same size to ensure it melts at a uniform speed.
- There's no need to reheat the pulled pork before adding it to the pan.
- Wash your hands after handling the jalapenos and never touch your face.
- Use a bold wood like mesquite, hickory, or oak. The dip takes less than 30 minutes to cook, so you need a strong smoke to impart good flavor.
