Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded cheese and cornstarch, stirring well to coat. Set aside.
- Heat butter and oil over MED HIGH heat in saucepan. When hot, add minced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until soft and slightly charred.
- Reduce heat to MED and add garlic and tomato and cook 1-2 minutes. Stir in salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
- Add evaporated milk and cheese mixture. Stir in diced green chiles. Turn heat down to LOW and stir until cheese melts completely and mixture turns into a smooth cheese sauce.
- Stir in cilantro and some milk if needed. Keep in mind, queso will thicken as it cools (usually I don't need to add any milk).
- Remove from heat and serve warm.
