Queso Blanco Nacho Cheese is creamy deliciousness for your chips that goes down to your hips. But let's not dwell on the hip thing...

Sadly, my spanish speaking abilities go as far as visiting google translate and hitting enter despite my two years of studying it in high school. I remember really liking the word sweater. Suéter-- it just rolls off your tongue so easily. My college roommate (with whom I also took spanish with in HS) and I always thought we sounded really authentic when we said "?Donde Esta Mi Sueter?" or inserted any other clothing or food item we knew. Pantalones is a good one. Oh and nachos. you can't go wrong with nachos.
Speaking of nachos, have you ever had Queso Blanco at a restaurant? It's crazy good. It's also crazy easy to make.

You'll need to seed and vein your jalepeno if you don't want it to be too spicy. I like to use a spoon to scrape the insides out. Just make sure that if you end up touching the seeds that you don't rub your eyes or touch your face. Because oooh mama, it burns. Trust me on this one.

Give your jalepeno and onion a good chop chop. They don't have to be super minced, just not super chunky.
Heat a tablespoon of oil up in a medium sized sauce pan and add the onions and jalepeno. Cook until they are soft and starting to caramelize a bit.

You'll need some cheese. Cheese, oh glorious cheese. 2 kinds here: White American and Monterrey Jack.
Add the cheese to the pepper and onion and stir away. It takes a few minutes but it will melt. Promise.
Once its smooth and melted resist from putting your face directly into the pan and eating it all because it gets better. "How?" you ask... cilantro and tomatoes, that's how.

Don't mind if I do... note that the hand pictured below is that of my 5 yr. old. She has great hands for, you know, a 5 year old, but I thought I'd let you know just in case you decided to judge me by my hands. Haters.
