  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 can green chiles 4oz

  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Notes

  • Cheese gives this sauce an extra richness so do not skip it but you can use any cheese you have.
  • If the sauce comes out too thick for your liking think it out gradually with the remaining stock.
