1
Slice the Cheese
Begin by slicing the Monterey Jack and Pepper Jack cheeses into bite-sized cubes or thin slices, depending on your preference. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even serving.

2
Prepare the Jalapeños
Wash the jalapeños under cold water. Slice them in half lengthwise, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat. You can leave them whole or cut them into smaller pieces for easier serving.
3
Chop the Cilantro
Rinse the fresh cilantro under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel. Remove the leaves from the stems and roughly chop them. Set aside for garnishing.

4
Combine Cheese and Accompaniments
In a serving platter, arrange the cheese cubes or slices neatly. Place the prepared jalapeños around the cheese, and add a bowl of tortilla chips on the side. Drizzle olive oil over the cheese or serve it on the side for dipping.
5
Garnish
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the cheese and jalapeños for a fresh burst of flavor and a pop of color.
