 1. Consistency -- This will be about how much water is included. Chipotle has 480 calories for every 8 oz. portion of Queso Blanco. Basically if I begin with a weight of 8 oz and subtract the weight of cheese that amounts to 480 calories, and add the remaining weight in water, I should have a similar consistency after thickening.

 The game I need to play here is to fiddle with the proportions of cheese, sour cream, milk, and water until I achieve a macronutrient makeup similar to Chipotle's. In other words, the constraints are basically the nutrition table above. There is a small enough range of possible values of these proportions that I can get pretty close without resorting to linear algebra. The mixture must thin and therefore contain a lot of water.
