Step one
Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until melted. Add onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Whisk together heavy cream and cornstarch in small bowl. Pour undrained tomatoes and cream mixture into saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir in cheeses a handful at a time until melted. Remove from heat and serve warm with tortilla chips.
Tips
Do not use pre-shredded cheese for this recipe, it will become gritty and unappealing. Buy blocks of cheese and shred them on a box grater, it will be worth the effort!
