Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups white American cheese, shredded (I buy a hunk at the grocery store deli and shred it myself)
1/4 cup 2% low-fat milk or 1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 tablespoon pickled jalapeno pepper, minced (the ones used for nachos, in a jar)
2 1/2 teaspoons jalapeno juice, from the jalapenos above

Steps:

Add all ingredients (in order) in microwave safe dish. Microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds.
Stir until smooth. If it seems too thin, keep stirring.
Serve with flour tortillas or tortilla chips.
For mild, leave out the jalapenos. IMPORTANT: Do not leave out the jalapeno LIQUID, that is what helps make the flavor.

MEXICAN WHITE CHEESE DIP/SAUCE

Mexican White Cheese Dip/Sauce image

This dip is similar to white cheese sauces served in many Mexican restaurants. The amount of heat can be adjusted by adding your favorite chili pepper or crushed cayenne pepper to taste. As is, it is kid-friendly, quick, and delicious! It can be used as a dip for tortilla chips or a sauce for many Mexican dishes.
