Who doesn't love tortilla chips? They are the best snack to any event: when you have friends or a date over, as an appetizer to a party, to watch a movie at home or at the cinema, among others!

And, in case you didn't know, United States celebrates the National Tortilla Chips Day every February 24th (yes, they have a day, they are THAT delicious!)

Here is our pick of the best dips and salsas to accompany your tortilla chips!

Melted Queso Dip

Inspired by Tex-Mex cuisine, this gooey and delicious Melted Cheese Dip with fresh tortilla chips will be the life of the party for the next Cinco de Mayo!

Even though this recipe is made with Pepperjack cheese, you can use any other cheese that melts easily. Some of them are:

Mozzarella Cheese: This is the most popular cheese to melt. We recommend choosing one with good quality, if not the cheese will lose all its flavor when heated.

Cheddar Cheese: It's a flexible cheese with a lot of flavor that looks great in gratins and sauces. The good thing about cheddar cheese is that the flavor can vary from mild and delicate to strong and spicy.

Gruyere Cheese: It's one of the favorite cheeses to melt. Its flavor varies depending on the maturation time and it's used as a complement in recipes or as the main ingredient for a fondue.

Fontina Cheese: It is a soft cheese with a rather sweet flavor. It is used to melt in dips or sauces or grated in pasta.

Gorgonzola Cheese: It is a very creamy cheese that is excellent for making sauces and one of the best for melting. It brings a lot of personality to recipes due to its unmistakable flavor.
