Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 jalapeños , seeded and chopped
- 1 small yellow onion , chopped
- 2 cloves garlic , minced or pressed
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 ounce can RO*TEL diced tomatoes with green chiles
- 12 ounces diced hatch green chiles
- 2 pounds American cheese or Velveeta , cut into large cubes
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ½ cup water
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1 lime
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy bottom pot, heat the oil over medium then add the jalapeño and onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion begins to soften then stir in the garlic, ground cumin, and ground chili powder and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a food processor. Add the RO*TEL tomatoes and Hatch green chiles and pulse 4-5 times so there are still some chunks in the mix. Add back to the Dutch oven with the cubed American or Velveeta cheese, cream cheese, and water. Cook until melted. Add the hot sauce to taste and a few squeezes of lime juice. Serve warm or at room temperature with tortilla chips and sliced jalapeños.
Notes
- Add 1-2 tablespoons more water at a time if the dip is too thick.
