Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped, or more to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 cups shredded American cheese
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
12 corn tortillas, warmed
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat butter in a pot over medium-low heat. Cook and stir onion and jalapeno pepper in the hot butter until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic to onion mixture and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Whisk chicken broth and cornstarch together in a bowl until smooth; pour into the onion mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until broth thickens, about 2 minutes. Reduce temperature to low and slowly stir American cheese, 1/4 cup at a time, into broth mixture until cheese is completely melted and sauce is smooth, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir diced tomatoes, green chile peppers, cumin, and cayenne pepper into cheese sauce and keep pot over low heat. Divide cheese sauce in half, reserving 1/2 of the sauce for another use.
  • Sprinkle about 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese down the center of 1 tortilla and roll tortilla around cheese. Place rolled tortilla, seam-side down, in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and Cheddar cheese. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove foil and pour the reserved 1/2 of the cheese sauce over tacos.
