Start Cooking
Prepare Pita Chips
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
-
Slice pitas in half, lengthwise, so that you have two open pita circles.
-
Cut each circle like a pie, creating eight triangle pieces.
-
Lay triangles on a lined cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
-
Season with salt and garlic powder and bake about 10 minutes, until lightly toasted.
Prepare Cheese Sauce
-
Heat oil on a medium flame.
-
Sauté onion until translucent, then add garlic and sauté for two minutes.
-
Push onions and garlic aside, and melt butter.
-
When butter is melted, add flour and mix until it forms a roux.
-
Add milk to the pan, and mix with sautéed onions and garlic and roux.
-
When combined, add cheese, one slice at a time, until sauce thickens and cheese is completely melted.
-
If you like a thinner sauce, add a bit more milk until it gets to the desired consistency.
-
Add diced jalapeno pepper and cayenne pepper and stir.
-
Serve immediately with pita chips.
