  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 8 ounces processed cheese (like Velveeta), cubed
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, season with salt, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Cook until browned, about 5–6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
