Ingredients

  • 1 shallot finely diced and divided
  • 1-2 small Roma tomato es, chopped
  • 3/4 cup of cilantro chopped and divided
  • 1 Tablespoon of butter
  • 2 small jalapeno peppers seeds removed and minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of all purpose flour
  • 1 cup of milk I used 2%
  • 2 cup of grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup of grated Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese
  • hot sauce to taste I used sriracha since I had it

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, stir together the chopped tomato, half of the chopped shallot, and half of the cilantro. Set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Once melted, add in the remaining shallot, salt, and chopped jalapeno and saute for 3 minutes until just tender.
  3. Stir in the flour until it is completely absorbed, and cook about a minute.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly, then bring to a light simmer. Keep whisking and cook for about 5 minutes until it has thickened.
  5. Stir in the cheeses a handful at a time and continue stirring until all of the cheese is melted. Add the remaining cilantro. Taste and add hot sauce as needed (jalepenos will vary in heat).
  6. Pour into a serving bowl and top with the tomato mixture.
  7. Serve warm with tortilla chips
