1 teaspoonchili powder

you could also use cumin if you prefer that taste

1 tspground chipotle powder

2 teaspoonsred pepper flakes

½ teaspoonsalt

¼ teaspoonblack pepper

Instructions

Step 1

Heat evaporated milk over medium/high heat in a small saucepan. When it starts to bubble, just before boil, add the cornstarch and reduce heat to low. Cornstarch will stop the cheese from hardening or seizing up.

Step 2

Immediately stir in the cheese in batches, starting with the white american cheese. As you stir in the cheese, increase heat to medium/low and whisk CONSTANTLY while the cheese melts. Once each batch is melted/creamy, add more. Don't stop stirring, you have to whisk the entire time while adding cheese.

Step 3

Once done with the white American, add in the shredded fontina or mozzarella. Again, whisk CONSTANTLY while the cheese melts, insuring you have a creamy blend. If you prefer the cheese a bit thicker, add a bit more of the mozzarella.

Step 4

Add the Jalapenos, Chipotle Powder, Chili Powder, Red Pepper Flakes, Salt, and black pepper while stirring. If consistency is too thick, add a bit of whole milk... Not too much or it will taste like milk instead of cheese.

Step 5

Top with cilantro, tomatoes, and more jalapenos if desired.
