INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons diced onion
1 jalapeno, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 to 2 cups whole milk
4 cups grated Cheddar cheese
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 can rotel
Cilantro
tortilla chips

DIRECTIONS:
1) In a medium pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, jalapeno, garlic, and salt and cook, stirring, until lightly translucent and liquid has evaporated ~ 2 minutes more. Whisk the flour and cumin into the butter mixture and cook until lightly browned~ 30 seconds to 1 minute.
2) Raise the heat to medium and slowly whisk in the milk. Whisk constantly until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon ~ about 5 minutes.
3) Lower the heat to medium-low and add the cheeses, 1/4 cup at a time. Stir until cheese has melted completely before adding more cheese.
4) Stir in the rotel. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve warm with tortilla chips.

ABOUT IDENTITY NETWORK

From Texas to New York City, and the immigrant to the entrepreneur - America is a land of both culture and contradiction.

IDENTITY PRODUCTIONS is a network built upon the core elements that shape BIPOC individuality: ambition, community, and culture. With thoughtful and entertaining programming focused on marginalized storytellers, authentic recipes, and diverse experiences, our team strives to paint an inclusive, accurate portrait of America - a land that was made for you and me. IDENTITY Network is co-founded by Mando Rayo and Dennis Burnett.
