Avocado oil offers health benefits and a high smoke point.

Place a large skillet on the stovetop over medium high heat, and put enough oil in it to coat the bottom of the pan.

Once hot, sauté onions until soft, then add in minced garlic.

Add in chopped green chile, as well as all your seasonings. Stir for a couple of minutes.

Pour in water (you can add more than 2 cups if you want it more runny).

Let it come to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20 minutes.

Finally, add in as much cheese as you desire and stir to let it melt into the chile.

Remove from stove top and enjoy!
