Method

Preparation of Cheese Mixture

  1. 1

    Combine Cheeses

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

Cooking Flavors and Toppings

  1. 2

    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

  1. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    Add the cheese mixture to the skillet with the sautéed onions and jalapeños. Stir continuously over medium-low heat until the cheese is melted and creamy. Season with salt to taste.

    Serve with Tortillas

    Once the cheese is melted and bubbling, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with warm tortillas on the side for dipping.
