Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh cheese, milk, and sour cream. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring frequently until the cheese begins to melt and the mixture is creamy.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Once the cheese is melted, add the diced jalapeño peppers, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm with tortilla chips.
