1
In a bowl, toss shredded cheese with cornstarch to coat.
2
Melt the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan.
3
Add minced garlic and finely chopped onion to the saucepan, sauté for 3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent without browning.
4
Mix in the diced tomato, including juices, and cook for another 2 minutes until slightly softened.
5
Stir in evaporated milk, followed by the cheese and cornstarch mixture, chopped green chiles, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin.
6
Keep stirring until the cheese melts, and the mixture turns into a silky sauce.
7
Adjust the taste with salt, keeping in mind the saltiness of the cheeses used, then mix in finely chopped cilantro.
8
Add 2-3 tbsp of whole milk to achieve your desired consistency. Keep in mind that the dip will thicken as it cools.
9
Serve warm, or at room temperature. The dip will remain soft and scoopable even when cooled.
10
Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Reheat in a microwave and adjust consistency with a small amount of milk, if necessary.
