Preparation of Cheese Base

1. Combine Cheeses

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the Pepper Jack cheese, cream cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.

Adding Vegetables and Spices

2. Mix in Vegetables and Spices

Add the canned diced tomatoes, diced green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the melted cheese mixture. Stir well to combine.

Incorporating Liquids

3. Add Milk and Hot Sauce

Slowly pour in the milk and hot sauce into the cheese mixture. Stir constantly until the mixture is creamy and well combined. If the queso is too thick, you can add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

4. Garnish

Remove the queso from heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Top with fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeños before serving.
