  • 5 oz Monterrey Jack cheese grated

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9-inch baking dish.

  • Slice onions and seeded jalapenos thinly and dice tomatoes.

  • Saute veggies with some salt until softened.

  • Whisk heavy cream, sour cream, pressed garlic, spices and salt in a mixing bowl and add it to the pan with veggies. Stir well.
