Ingredients

• 1/2 of a 9-ounce bag of tortilla chips
• homemade queso (recipe follows)
• 2 cups cooked, chopped brisket
• salsa or chopped tomatoes
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 medium onion, diced

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 4 ounces (1 cup) sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 4 ounces (1 cup) Monterey Jack cheese, grated

Directions

• To make the queso, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeño and saute until soft. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for one minute. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened. Add the cheese a handful at a time, stirring to combine. Once all of the cheese has been stirred in, add the paprika and salt to taste. Reduce heat to low.
• Heat the brisket in the microwave or in a small amount of liquid until warmed through.
• Place 1/3 of the chips onto a place or wide bowl. Pour several spoons full of queso over the chips, then follow with 1/3 of the brisket. Repeat twice. Top with salsa or diced tomatoes and cilantro. Serve immediately.
