Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the jalapeños, onion, and garlic cloves finely. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Grate the Cheeses

    Grate the Chihuahua cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and crumble the Queso Fresco into a bowl. Mix well.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped jalapeños and garlic, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the mixed cheeses to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine everything evenly. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the cheese melt for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove from heat. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with slices of avocado and lime wedges on the side.
