Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Finely chop the onion and jalapeño pepper. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the cilantro.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a medium skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Sauté the chopped onion and diced jalapeño for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Combine the Cheeses

    Reduce the heat to low. Add the Chihuahua cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until all the cheeses are melted and smooth.

  3. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the cheese is melting, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until they are soft and pliable.

  5. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the melted cheese mixture to a serving dish. Serve immediately with warm corn tortillas for dipping.
