Chips Preparation
1. Cut the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal wedges to create chips.
2. Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3. Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla wedges to the hot oil in small batches. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
4. Drain and Season
Remove chips from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while still hot.

5. Melt the Cheese
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white American cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and milk. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.
6. Add Seasonings
Once the cheese is melted, stir in the diced green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
7. Adjust Consistency
If the queso is too thick, add more milk a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
8. Serve
Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve warm alongside your freshly made tortilla chips.
