Aji Sauce

2 aji chiles or-3 jalapeno chiles
1 cup queso blanco (white cheese) or munster
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp olive oil

Combine 2 aji or 3 jalapeno chiles, stems and seeds removed and chopped, 1 cup queso blanco or Munster cheese, and 1 cup heavy cream in a blender and puree until smooth.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and slowly add the cheese mixture, stirring constantly. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes or until it thickens.

If the sauce you remember didn't have cheese in it, try omitting it.
