Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan.
Sauté the onion, tomato, and garlic.
Add the diced green chiles and stir to combine. If you have very mild chiles, add 1-2 diced jalapeños during this step for an extra kick.
Next, add the milk, salt, pepper, and chicken broth.
Let everything boil for 3-5 minutes. Watch the pot carefully because if the milk boils too rapidly it will overflow.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Finally, add in the shredded cheese.
Once the cheese is melted, turn off the heat.
Serve.

Notes

Use a white Mexican cheese that melts well such as asadero, Chihuahua, Oaxaca, or Mexican muenster. If you cannot find these, use Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
You can also use poblano peppers. However, poblanos are mild with a different flavor profile than the ones reccomended so they won't much spice to the dish.
Use a white Mexican cheese that melts well such as asadero, Chihuahua, Oaxaca, or Mexican muenster. If you cannot find these, use Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
For a dairy-free/vegan version: Substitute the milk for original, unsweetened almond milk, the chicken broth for vegetable broth, and use a few sprinkles of nutritional yeast (based on your preference) instead of the cheese for a dairy-free and vegan version.
