Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Processed cheese like Velveeta, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 0.5 cup Milk or evaporated milk
  • 10 oz Diced tomatoes with green chilies undrained
  • 1 Jalapeño finely diced (optional, for extra heat)

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Whisk or spatula

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Combine the cubed processed cheese and milk in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir frequently until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Stir in the undrained diced tomatoes with green chilies. If desired, add the finely diced jalapeño for an extra kick.
  3. Continue to heat and stir until the dip is thoroughly warmed through and bubbling gently. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or your favorite dippers.

Notes

For a smoother dip, ensure the cheese is cut into small, uniform cubes. You can adjust the spiciness by adding more or less jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
