Spray the top of the wonton wrappers with canola oil spray.

Bake the wonton wrappers in a 400 degree oven for about 7 minutes, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.

Melt a little butter in a pan over medium heat.

Saute a finely chopped medium onion in the melted butter.

Add garlic cubes to the pan and season with salt and pepper.

Add a diced jalapeno to the pan and saute until fragrant and slightly softened.

Pour in milk and add 4 ounces of brick style cream cheese, breaking it up with a spoon to melt into the sauce.

Once the cream cheese is smooth, add 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1 cup of cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and combined.

If the queso is too thick, add more milk to reach desired consistency.
