Steps:
- Place cheese and cornflour in a bowl, toss to coat.
- Melt butter over medium heat in a large saucepan or small pot.
- Add garlic and onion, cook slowly for 3 minutes or until onion is translucent but not browned.
- Add tomato (including juices) and cook for 2 minutes until tomato is slightly softened.
- Add evaporated milk and cheese. Stir, then add chiles and Spices.
- Stir until cheese melts and it becomes a silky sauce.
- Add salt to taste - amount required depends on saltiness of cheese used - and stir through coriander.
- Stir in milk or water to adjust consistency (I use 2 tbsp) - the dip thickens when it cools, and milk can be added later to adjust to taste.
- Remove from heat. Serve warm or at room temperature - it will be soft and scoopable even when it cools.
- Store in the refrigerator. When refrigerated, it becomes the consistency of the cheese spread sold in jars that are not in the refrigerator section. Reheat in microwave and adjust consistency as desired with a tiny bit of milk. If you add too much, just put on stove again until it thickens.

"EL BARTO'S" MEXICAN CHEESE DIP
Perhaps it's the fond memories of our early salad days, but nothing feels like home to me and my husband like a visit to our favorite restaurant, "El Az" (as it's known by hip natives) in Lansing/East Lansing.

Steps:
- 1. Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate several hours, preferably overnight. Serve with tortilla chips, refried beans and salsa (see note). Use leftovers to spice up plain bean and cheese burritos.
- 2. Alternate Recipe: Makes yummy cheesy enchiladas! Fill flour or corn tortillas with cheese dip, roll up, and lay in baking dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cover with verde enchilada sauce and queso cheese. Cover dish with foil and bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes. Serve with rice and/or refried beans.
- 3. Play with the ingredients and amounts until you get the flavor and consistency you like. You can also lighten this dish by using low fat (not fat free) sour cream, cottage cheese, etc.
Tips:
- Use a food processor or blender to make a smooth dip. If you don't have one, you can mash the cottage cheese with a fork until smooth.
- For a creamier dip, use full-fat cottage cheese. You can also use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese, but the dip will be less creamy.
- Add your favorite spices and herbs to taste. Some popular options include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and cilantro.
- Serve the dip with your favorite chips, vegetables, or crackers. You can also use it as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.
- Make sure to chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken up.
Conclusion:
Mexican cottage cheese dip is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you're serving it at a party or just enjoying it as a snack, Mexican cottage cheese dip is sure to be a hit.
