Notes
- For a spicier dip, leave some jalapeño seeds in or add more jalapeño.
- If the dip thickens too much upon standing, gently reheat and stir in a bit more milk to loosen the consistency.
- This dip can also be used as a creamy topping for tacos or nachos.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
