Spicy White Sauce:

  2. After butter is melted slowly stir in flour until you create a nice thick paste (a little clumpy).

  3. Continue stirring as you slowly add ½ C Milk and heat until milk thickens stirring frequently (it should not be too loose or too thick).

  4. Add in all the different cheeses letting each handful melt before adding in another on med/high heat.

  5. After cheeses are melted lower the heat and add in the salsa and stir.

  6. Add last c of milk as needed.

Sautee:

  1. In a large skillet heat 1 Tbs oil, add chicken, onion, garlic, tomatoes, South Western Seasoning, red, green and orange bell peppers, corn. Cook until onions are translucent and bell peppers become tender.

  2. Add to the white sauce

Serve with tortilla chips. Topping can be kept warm in a crockpot on Low heat setting up to 2 hours; stir occasionally.

Tips:

  1. Try it over some brown rice, spinach, and chips in a bowl for a fun salad.

  2. To get out the ‘tinny’ taste from canned chicken, sauté chicken in a little bit of vinegar/white wine till the chicken is hot and the vinegar/wine is evaporated.
