🔪 How to Make It
1. Sauté aromatics
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
2. Add liquids
Pour in the milk and cream. Heat until warm, but don’t let it boil.
3. Melt the cheese
Lower the heat and add both cheeses, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.
4. Season and serve
Stir in cumin and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with cilantro or extra diced peppers if you like a pop of color.
🌶️ Customize It
- Spicy version: Add diced green chilies, hot sauce, or chipotle powder.
- Mild and kid-friendly: Use only American cheese and skip the jalapeños.
- Tex-Mex twist: Stir in cooked chorizo or ground beef.
- Make it a meal: Pour over nachos, tacos, or grilled chicken.
