Chili Con Queso - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 Tbsp. olive oil
    1 (4 oz.) can diced Ortega chilies
    1 lb. Monterey Jack cheese, grated
    1/2 medium onion, diced
    1 (16 oz.) can stewed tomatoes
    1 lb. mild or sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
    16 oz. plain yogurt
    1 cucumber
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2 Tbsp. olive oil
    1 Tbsp. white vinegar
    salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
    Line a strainer with a paper towel or coffee filter.
    Spoon in yogurt and allow to drain up to 6 hours (I find 1 to 2 hours is usually enough).
    Peel, seed and grate cucumber onto paper towels and allow to drain a few minutes.
    Combine all ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
    Makes 2 cups.
