If you live in the Bay Area then you have probably been to Tacolicous at least once or twice, or have at least heard about it. One thing everyone should know about me, I LOVE TACOLICOUS! You can imagine my excitement when my friend got me the Tacolicous cookbook for Christmas! I instantly flipped through the book to see if my two favorite recipes where included, the queso and carnitas. Cue the happy dance, because they are definitely in the book. Ryan and I have been making a recipe or two the last few weekends and I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the queso recipe from InstaStories. Y’all also voted that you wanted it for Super Bowl Sunday so I wanted to make sure I delivered the “goods.” I hope you all enjoy this Super Bowl Sunday Queso Recipe from Tacolicous as much as I do.
