Pico de gallo

-1 dash salt - to taste,
-1 dash chili flakes - optional,

Put the milk in a double bottom pot or heavy-duty pot, on medium heat.

If using colored cheddar cheese, you can omit paprika.
Grate cheese on the side with medium/big holes.
Add to the mixture of milk and paprika and stir till melted, 2-3 minutes.
Do not boil.
Remove from heat and use to prepare Nachos with Cheese Sauce or use as a dip.

Nachos with cheese sauce

Prepare ingredients.
On a big plate or tray, spread a layer of tortilla chips.
Drizzle with Cheese Sauce.
Optional - Sprinkle with grated cheese and meat. Add the cheese when the Cheese Sauce is still warm, to allow it to melt.
In this recipe, I only used Cheese Sauce.
Add another layer of tortilla chips, drizzle the rest of the Cheese Sauce and decorate with Pico de Gallo.
Serve with Guacamole, Pico de Gallo and Refried Black Beans Sauce (comming soon).
