Emeril's Chipotle Cheese Sauce

YIELD about 1 cup

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons	vegetable oil
1 cup	chopped white onions
1 teaspoon	minced garlic
2 tablespoons	all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon	cayenne, or to taste
1	can diced tomatoes, juices and all (14-ounce)
1 tablespoon	minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
1/2 cup	heavy cream
1/2 cup	low fat milk
1 cup	grated Colby cheese
1 cup	grated Cheddar cheese
1 cup	Pepper Jack cheese
1/4 teaspoon	salt

PREPARATION:

Method:

In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until very soft, 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, 30 seconds. Add the flour and stir for 2 minutes. Add the cayenne, tomatoes and chipotle and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Slowly add the milk/cream mixture and stir until thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cheeses in batches, stirring, until melted and well incorporated. Season with salt and serve warm. Do not allow the sauce to boil or the cheese will separate and become grainy.
Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
