    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chihuahua cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese. Mix well until evenly combined and set aside.

    Sauté Onions and Jalapeños

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped jalapeños and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.

Combining and Melting
