Lactose Free Tex-Mex Queso Dip with Tortilla Chips

Diced onion and garlic get a quick sauté to build a savory base, then a jammy mix of tomatoes and green chiles brings in that classic smoky heat, brightened with cumin and chili powder. The whole thing melts down into a thick, spoon-coating dip with a serious cheese pull and a little kick from fresh jalapeño. Pile on the cilantro, grab a bowl of tortilla chips, and this one's ready for dipping in minutes. It's an easy party favorite that fits neatly into a lactose free spread, so nobody has to skip the queso bowl. Serve it warm and watch it disappear fast.
