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
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
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.
