Ingredients
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1-1/2 tbsp (20 ml) olive oil
  • 1-1/2 tbsp (20 ml) butter
  • 3 or more Jalapeno Chiles (depending upon taste), broadly chopped and seeded

  • 2 packages of cream cheese (even the fat free stuff will do, though it's not best)
  • 1 pint, half-and-half
Preparation
  • Saute the onion in the olive oil and butter until clear.
  • Add the tomatoes and chiles, bring to boil, and simmer for at least 15 minutes to reduce liquid and set the flavor.

  • When cream cheese is melted, add half-and-half.
  • Serve with any dipping food, including tortilla chips, carrots, tomatoes, celery, etc.
Comments
This is an adaptation of a wonderful recipe once served in a now-defunct Mexican restaurant in Arlington, Virginia. At least, it's my attempt to adapt the recipe.
