Directions:
Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat and saute the onion, bell pepper (or jalapenos) and garlic for 2-3 minutes 'til vegetables start to soften. Stir in cumin, salt, and cornstarch and cook 2-3 minutes longer.
Add chicken broth slowly, whisking as you pour it in, and heat 3-4 minutes to allow sauce to thicken, stirring occasionally. Add shredded cheese and tomatoes.
Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer carefully, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes, adjusting thickness of the queso by adding water or cheese, as desired.
Serve hot with chips, crackers or vegetables.
