Recipe Introduction

"You'll find this creamy, cheesy dip on the menu at virtually every Tex-Mex restaurant in San Antonio, Texas, generally with a basket of tortilla chips."

List of Ingredients

◦  1 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese
◦  ½ cup Velveeta, cut into pieces
◦  ½ cup heavy cream
◦  2 Tbsp chopped peeled yellow onion
◦  2 Tbsp diced tomato
◦  1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded, and diced
◦  Tortilla chips, for serving


Recipe

Put cheddar and Velveeta in a medium pot. Set it over a pot of simmering water over medium heat and heat until cheese mixture is nearly melted.

Add cream and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until cheese mixture is hot and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.

Transfer cheese mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle onions, tomatoes, and jalapeños on top. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
