Ingredients

16 ounces Velveeta cheese
10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g. Rotel)
0.25 cups whole milk
0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
0.5 teaspoons chili powder
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the Velveeta cheese into small 1-inch cubes to ensure even melting.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the Velveeta cheese cubes and diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid).

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir regularly to prevent the cheese from sticking to the bottom or burning.

Step 4

Once the cheese is halfway melted, add the milk, ground cumin, and chili powder. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 6

If the dip is too thick, add a little more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 7

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or your favorite dippers. Enjoy!
