    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Heat the milk and butter in a saucepan over low heat until warm.
    2. Add the cheese a handful at a time, stirring constantly until smooth.
    3. Stir in the green chiles, garlic powder, cumin, and salt.
    4. Fold in the tomato and onion, if using, and keep warm over the lowest heat.
    5. Serve with tortilla chips.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    White American cheese melts silky without separating — it's the secret to restaurant-style queso. Keep it warm in a slow cooker for parties.
