Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Shred the 8 oz Oaxaca cheese and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter. Add 1 sliced jalapeño and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Reduce heat to low, add the shredded cheese and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Stir constantly until cheese melts and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Season with 1/4 tsp salt. Remove from heat and smooth the top with a spatula.

  5. Step 5

    Bake for 10-12 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly. Let cool 2 minutes before serving with 2 cups tortilla chips.
