The Perfect White Mexican Cheese Dip image

My version of what they serve at authentic Mexican restaurants. Simple to make in the microwave in 5-10 minutes. Only 3 ingredients! Perfect for a quick snack or to serve as a side.

Time 8m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/4 cups white American cheese, shredded (I buy a hunk at the grocery store deli and shred it myself)
1/4 cup 2% low-fat milk or 1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 tablespoon pickled jalapeno pepper, minced (the ones used for nachos, in a jar)
2 1/2 teaspoons jalapeno juice, from the jalapenos above

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients (in order) in microwave safe dish. Microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds.
  • Stir until smooth. If it seems too thin, keep stirring.
  • Serve with flour tortillas or tortilla chips.
  • For mild, leave out the jalapenos. IMPORTANT: Do not leave out the jalapeno LIQUID, that is what helps make the flavor.
