Ingredients

8 servings

1 tbsp unsalted butter
½ cup white onion, finely diced
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
Ingredient note
A serving of up to about one small jalapeño is low in fructose. This recipe contains only about 1/8 of a jalapeno per serving, making it likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid jalapeño, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles, drained
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp chili powder
½ cup whole milk
8 oz american cheese, torn or cubed
4 oz monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as rotel), drained
Ingredient notes
A serving of up to about half a cup of diced tomatoes with green chilies is low in fructose. This recipe contains only about 1 1/2 tablespoons per serving, making it likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid diced tomatoes with green chilies, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Tomatoes carry a little excess fructose that a low fructose diet watches in larger servings; the small amount used here keeps the fructose load low, so it is likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid rotel tomatoes with green chili, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
salt and pepper, to taste

For serving

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
tortilla chips, for serving (optional)

1
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
