Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
3 serrano peppers, seeded and finely diced
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely diced
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 cup milk
3 cups shredded longhorn cheddar cheese
3 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
2 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
salt

Directions:

Melt butter in saucepan on medium-low. Add onions and peppers and cook until onions are translucent. Add garlic and cook additional 1 minute.
Whisk flour into butter-onion mixture and cook for 30 seconds. Add milk and cook on medium heat, whisking constantly, until thick, about 5 minutes.
Stir in cilantro and tomatoes.
Turn heat down to low. SLOWLY add cheeses (this is what keeps queso smooth and creamy versus congealed and lumpy), 1/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly until completely melted before adding next 1/4 cup.
Stir in sour cream. Add salt to taste.
