- 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Tortilla chips
Instructions

Notes
- I use the Velveeta brand "queso blanco" cheese block for this recipe. You'll find it with all the other Velveeta cheese.
- For the freshly made salsa, I get it from the deli section at my grocery store, instead of making my own.
- I use a vegetable holder (like this one) to hold the jalapeño while I cut it. That way I don't get pepper on my hands and risk rubbing it in my eyes later.
