Method

Preparation of Cheese Sauce

  1. 1

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Stir continuously until melted and well blended.

  2. 2

    Add Milk and Jalapeño Juice

    Gradually stir in the milk and jalapeño juice, mixing until the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add more milk to reach desired consistency.

    Add salt to taste and continue stirring for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is heated through.

    Layer the Chips

    On a large baking sheet or serving platter, spread out the tortilla chips evenly.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese Sauce

    Pour the prepared cheese sauce generously over the tortilla chips, ensuring even coverage.

  3. 6

    Add Jalapeños

    Sprinkle the sliced jalapeños over the cheese-covered chips.

  4. 7

    Serve with Toppings

    On the side, serve guacamole and sour cream for guests to add as desired.
