Ingredients:
1 cup whole milk
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt, to taste
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat to prepare the roux.
Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens.
Lower the heat and add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
Add chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Remove from heat and serve warm with nachos, tacos, or any Mexican dish
