Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Cheese

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the white American cheese and milk over low heat.
  2. Stir constantly to prevent the cheese from burning, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.

Step 2: Add Flavor

  1. Stir in the heavy cream, diced green chiles, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Add the jalapeños if you prefer a spicy kick. Mix well.

Step 3: Adjust Consistency

  1. If the dip is too thick, add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  2. Taste and adjust with salt, if needed.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Pour the cheese dip into a serving bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro.
  2. Serve warm with tortilla chips, vegetables, or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or nachos.
