Ingredients
Cheese Dip:
- 1 lb white American cheese, cubed or shredded
- 1/2 cup whole milk (more as needed)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon diced green chilies (canned)
- 1 teaspoon pickled jalapeño juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
Garnish:
- Optional chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheese Dip: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white American cheese, milk, and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Flavors: Add the diced green chilies, jalapeño juice, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine and continue to heat for another 1–2 minutes until well incorporated.
- Adjust Consistency: If the dip is too thick, gradually stir in a little more milk until it reaches your desired consistency. Taste and add salt if needed.
- Serve: Serve warm with tortilla chips and garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
Notes
- White American cheese melts smoothly and is key to achieving the restaurant-style texture—avoid using pre-shredded cheese.
- For extra spice, stir in minced fresh jalapeños or hot sauce.
- This dip reheats well; just add a splash of milk when warming up.
