Looks really tasty! Recipe?

I made it up. 1) make a roux out of butter and flour. 2) add milk while stirring. Mix in whatever cheese or cheeses you have. Cut with water if it gets too thick. Dump in a can of drained green chilies, a can of drained chickpeas, and fresh cilantro. Stir. Serve.

The cheese I used was cotija, cheddar, and parmesan.

Easy peasy...... Thanks

Easy chickpeazy

Ooh, I'm impressed with the creativity! It sounds delicious.

Thanks. I was pleased with how it turned out.

My wife would love this

Did the sauce break?

Almost looks like a slurry wasn’t used.

Op said he used a roux

I’m not sure what you mean by sauce break, sorry.

If you're talking about the white bits, that's Parmesan.

That makes sense. I was also wondering about how it looks watery.

I think most of the white bits are unmelted pieces of cotija. It comes out of the bag like a powdery, mealy type of dry cheese.

I thinned it too much

Actually made Mac and cheese this week with chickpea elbow pasta

Yummmmm i love chickpeas looks almost like a curry instead of a cheese sauce

A sauce “breaking” is just the sauce separating into two components rather than being one cohesive liquid. Generally the fats or water will separate, giving you an oily mess rather than a typical sauce. Can be fixed by adding a bit more liquid if it isn’t completely broken though! A little water or even an ice cube can save a sauce from the brink!

Thanks. I figured from context it might be something like that. Thoughtful that you took the time to reply and explain. 🙂

But does the cheese sauce feature a potato?

There is no potato in this particular dish.

I made another small serving for myself. Added ground cayenne and cracked pepper. The flavors and heat are a nice. The micro crunch from the pepper corns is a nice addition as well!

Thank you for clarifying! I've never used that particular cheese but of course have used parm. :)
