How to make?

Ingredients

2 Tbsp butter

1/4 cup finely chopped onion*

1/4 tsp crushed garlic*

2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

1 1/4 cups whole milk

8 oz finely shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 Roma tomato

2 Tbsp canned

1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until soft about 4 - 5 minutes, adding garlic during the last 30 seconds of sauteing. Whisk in flour, and cook stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Slowly pour milk into mixture, while whisking vigorously. Bring mixture just to a gentle bubble stirring constantly. Remove from heat let cool just briefly then stir in finely shredded Monterrey Jack cheese. Return to warm heat to melt as needed. Stir in optional ingredients. Serve warm with tortilla chips . *For a smooth cheese sauce without the chunky ingredients, omit the chopped onion and crushed garlic. Replace it with 1/2 tsp onion powder and a generous pinch of garlic powder. Since you won't need to saute simply melt the butter then add the flour, garlic powder and onion powder and continue as directed and omit the optional ingredients.
