That yummy white cheese dip served in Texas restaurants with lots of fresh, salty tortilla chips. A dear friend asked me to find THE recipe that she loves so much. After much work she finally says I have got it right! Whew! Hope you enjoy! Ingredients:
1 cup monterey jack cheese or 1 cup asadero cheese, shredded |
4 ounces diced green chilies |
1/4 cup fat-free half-and-half |
2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste |
3 sprigs fresh cilantro, minced (optional) |
chopped jalapeno (optional) |
cilantro leaf (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients, except garnish of course, in a microwaveable bowl that has been sprayed or brushed with oil.
2. Microwave for 1 minute and stir.
3. Continue microwaving at 30 second intervals, stirring in between until cheese is melted.
4. Serve warm with tortilla chips.
5. Note- you can make this with canned poblano rajas or fresh roasted ones if you like.
6. ***For a hotter dip use Pepper Jack cheese.
