    1 16 oz. Velveeta
    3/4 c. whole milk
    1 green Anaheim pepper, seeded and diced, about 1 1/2 cup
    1/4 c. diced white onion
    1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
    2 tsp. minced cilantro
    juice of 1 lime
    1/4 tsp. dried oregano

Preparation
    Combine Velveeta and milk in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat.
    Stir often as cheese melts.

    Stir in tomatoes and remove queso from heat.
    Pour queso into a serving dish, top with crumbled ranchero cheese and serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
