Large skillet, large bowl, serving bowl.
directions
- Begin by rehydrating the Chile Pasado. Here are the directions for rehydrating chiles if you need them.
- Once the chiles have totally cooled, remove the stems and seeds and cut the chiles into long, thin strips.
- In your large skillet, heat the butter on medium-low heat. Stir occasionally and add in the onions. Cook for 5 minutes before adding in the garlic.
- Cook for 30 seconds longer, then pour the half-and-half in the skillet. Keep your pan on medium-low heat and continue to stir to avoid burning.
- Next add in the sliced chile strips and jalapeno flakes. Turn the heat down to low and add the grated cheese by the handful, stirring until it’s melted.
- Add salt to taste. Transfer into your serving bowl when all is melted and combined and serve immediately with warm tortillas or crunchy tortilla chips. Enjoy!
