The menu at Chili’s is heating up with its latest spicy creation! The popular restaurant spent nearly two years crafting its new Southwestern Queso, so you know it must be good.
The Southwestern Queso — replacing the Skillet Beef and White Skillet quesos on the menu — blends American and cheddar cheeses with fire-roasted green chilies, onions and a hint a lime for a bold flavor.
