1 cup half-and-half

¾ lb white American cheese, (I got mine at the deli), shredded

Preparation

In a medium non-stick skillet or cast iron skillet over medium heat, warm up the olive oil and add the jalapeno, yellow and red peppers. Stir constantly for 3 minutes. Add the cumin and stir for 1 more minute.

Add the half-and-half and simmer until it’s just about to boil. Lower the heat to low and slowly stir in the different cheeses and spices. Stir constantly until the cheese is completely melted.
