Copycat Chipotle Queso Blanco

unsalted butter

white onion (finely chopped)

poblano pepper (finely chopped)

serrano pepper (finely chopped)

garlic (minced)

roma tomatoes (seeded and finely chopped)

milk

heavy cream

chipotle chili powder

cornstarch

Monterey Jack cheese (coarsely grated)

white cheddar (coarsely grated)

salt

Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium heat.  Saute the onion and peppers until they are soft, roughly 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a large wooden spoon.

Add the minced garlic and the tomatoes and cook until fragrant, roughly a minute, while constantly stirring.

Pour in the whole milk and heavy cream while whisking, then sprinkle in the chipotle pepper powder.

In a small bowl, make a cornstarch slurry by mixing equal parts water to cornstarch.  Mix with a fork until smooth, then gradually add it to the hot milk mixture, whisking constantly.  The cornstarch will make the sauce glossy and gluten free.

Bring the sauce to a near boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until thickened, whisking constantly to prevent lumps or burnt spots.  This will take roughly 10 to 12 minutes.

Remove the Dutch oven from the heat and stir in the grated cheese in batches until it is melted.

Taste then add enough salt to your liking.  Adjust other seasonings, if necessary.

Serve while warm.  Keep the sauce warm by turning the stove to the lowest setting or transfer the queso blanco to a small crockpot and keep on the warm setting.
