1/4 tsp Cumin

Black pepper

4 Peeled canned tomatos -or-

2 Peeled fresh tomatos

2/3 cup Whole roasted green chiles

8 oz White cheese, Monterey Jack is OK

Warm cheese to room temperature. Melt butter in small saucepan, add onion and garlic, cover and sweat for 5 minutes over low heat. Meanwhile, place the tomatoes, green chiles, cumin and pepper in a food processor and chop thoroughly (don't puree). Add tomato mixture to pan, cook at medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until most of the water has evaporated.
