Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped jalapeños (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the shredded cheeses with cornstarch until well coated.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until hot but not boiling.
  3. Gradually add the cheese mixture, stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
  4. Stir in salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
  5. Fold in the diced tomatoes with green chilies and jalapeños if using.
  6. Serve warm with tortilla chips, pretzels, or veggies.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add more jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. If the dip thickens, stir in a splash of milk to loosen it up.
