AUTHENTIC CHILE CON QUESO
This is a true chile con queso that can be eaten with tostadas or in a warm corn tortilla. This is not like the Americanized version of chili con queso that we have become used to that is a cheese dip, which I also love. This is the way my grandma used to make it. The great thing about this recipe is you can play with it and adjust it to your personal taste. If you like it cheesier add more cheese. You can't mess this up unless you burn it.

Steps:
- Roast the chilies and the jalapeños under the broiler until blackened, about 5 minutes per side. Place them in a paper sack or plastic food-storage bag, close it tightly and let them steam for 20 minutes. After the chilies have steamed, remove them from the bag and rub off the skin. Remove the stems and seeds from all the chiles and slice into thin, long strips. In a large skillet, heat the butter on medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds. Pour the half-and-half in the skillet and then add the chile strips. Turn the heat down to low and, a little at a time, add the grated cheese, stirring until it's melted. Add salt to taste. Serve immediately with warm corn or flour tortillas.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chile con queso.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. There are many different types of cheese that can be used to make chile con queso, so feel free to experiment until you find a combination that you like.
- Be careful not to overcook the cheese. Overcooked cheese will become tough and rubbery, so be sure to keep an eye on it while it's melting.
- Serve immediately. Chile con queso is best served immediately, while it's still hot and melted.
- Enjoy! Chile con queso is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
Conclusion:
