Authentic Mexican Restuarant White Cheese Dip

I could eat my weight in Mexican food - especially their Mexican White Cheese Dip! But, of course, I don't want to always spend the money to get it either.

So I spent a lot of time researching the perfect recipe, and finally found it Cocina de la Familia: More Than 200 Authentic Recipes from Mexican-American Home Kitchens.

And now I'll share it with you:

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN WHITE CHEESE DIP

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cup American Cheese, shredded
  
  
• 1/4 cup 2% or low-fat milk
  
  
• 1/2 tablespoon pickled jalapeno pepper, minced
  
  
• 2 1/2 teaspoons jalapeno juice

Directions:

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