Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
• 1 tomato, diced
• 2 serrano chiles, seeded, stemmed diced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded, stemmed, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons flour

• 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, tomato, serrano chiles, and jalapeno. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Whisk the flour and cumin into the pan and cook for another 30 seconds. Slowly pour the milk into the pan while whisking, and continue to cook, whisking constantly until the milk thickens (about 3 minutes). Stir in the cilantro.
Reduce the heat to low, and add the grated cheeses 1/4 cup at a time, stirring after each addition, until completely melted. Repeat until all of the cheese has been added. Stir in the sour cream until completely combined. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
Enjoy!
