- 3/4 lb white American cheese, chopped into small squares *I buy from behind the deli counter
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 1/4 cup half and half
- 2 tablespoon canned jalapenos
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Garnish: chopped cilantro, tomatoes, jalapenos
Heat half and half over medium heat in small saucepan. *I use a small cast iron pan and it works GREAT!
Reduce heat to low once simmering, not quite boiling.
Stir in the cheeses starting with the white American first. Increase heat to medium and continuously whisk cheeses until completely melted.
Once all the cheese is melted, add in the jalapenos, chili powder, red pepper, salt, and pepper.
Top with garnishes of choice and serve with tortilla chips!
