Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the red pepper and white onion. Cook until the onion is translucent and the red pepper is soft.
- Next, add in the salt, chipotle peppers, and green chiles. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the heavy cream and Velveeta cheese. Stir often until the Velveeta has melted.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the pepper jack cheese. When the pepper jack is completely melted remove from the heat.

Tips & Notes
- Evaporated milk can be used in place of heavy cream. We would not recommend regular milk, it does not blend well.
- Increase or decrease the chipotles in adobo to adjust the spice level.
