WHITE/GREEN CHILE CON QUESO
Makes 3 cups
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 white or yellow onion, minced
2 Roma tomatoes, minced
1 16 oz carton frozen medium or hot green chiles, thawed, drained and minced*
3 cloves garlic
2 8 oz packages cream cheese
Tostada chips
Heat oil, add onion, tomato, green chile and garlic. Cook until soft. Drain the mixture in a colander and then place back in pan. Add the cream cheese and mix until melted. Serve in a fondu pot to keep warm. Serve with chips.
*If you don't live in the Southwest you probably can't get the terrific chiles that are so readily available there, but the fire-roasted Ortega chiles are a good substitute. (If you do want to be authentic you can go on line to www.buenofoods.com and have them shipped to you. The expensive part is the shipping, but they last a long time in the freezer!)
