Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/3 cup sliced scallions

(white and green parts)

1/2 cup finely chopped tomatoes

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1/2 cup milk

1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded jalapeño-Monterey jack cheese

 

Makes 1 3/4 cups; serves: 6 to 8

 

This dip is a little thin when warm, but it thickens as it cools. I think

its best served at room temperature - with lots of tortilla chips.

 

1. In a 1-quart saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the

scallions; cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes; cook, stirring, 1

minute. Stir in the flour until absorbed.

 

2. Add the milk; cook, stirring, until mixture comes to a boil.

 

3. Add the cheese; cook, stirring until melted, about 1 minute.

 

Variation: Use plain Monterey Jack cheese for a milder version.
