1 lb cheddar cheese

Directions:
In a large saucepan, or a cast iron skillet, add about 1 tbsp of avocado oil. Add your onions and jalapeno and cook until translucent.
Now, add your milk and cheese. You’re welcome to use a mixture of cheeses. Sometimes, I like to add monterey jack or pepper jack cheese.
Add your seasonings and mix. Allow to cook down on low medium heat until nice and melty.
Add your roma tomatoes and garnish with cilantro.
Fry up your low carb tortilla chips and serve with your queso!
