Ingredients

8 slices bacon, chopped
16 ounces processed cheese, such as Velveeta, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 scallions, finely chopped
1 plum tomato, quartered, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 small jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and minced
Tortilla chips, for serving

Directions

Place the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

Place the processed cheese in a medium saucepot over medium-low heat, and cook, whisking, until melted, about 5 minutes (You can also melt the cheese in a microwave, stirring after 1-minute intervals.)

Whisk in the milk a couple tablespoons at a time until incorporated. Stir in the cilantro, scallions, tomato and jalapeno.

Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with the bacon, and serve with tortilla chips.
