Here's the recipe my mother makes (Mother was born and raised on the
 Mexican border in Arizona and this is the one my grandmother and her
 Mexican maid cobbled together, pro'lly back in the twenties.) It is a
 show stopper and always gets rave reviews, even from people who don't
 generally like Mex/American food:

   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2      tablespoons   butter
    1      medium         onion -- chopped
    1      can           jalapeno peppers -- chopped
    1      15 1/2 oz.    tomatoes -- chopped, undrained
    1      jar           pimiento -- chopped, drained
      3/4  cup           cheddar cheese -- grated
                         salt and pepper -- to taste
 Saute onion in butter in medium saucepan. Combine next  3 ingredients
 with onion. Heat to boiling, let simmer for 10 - 15 mins. to meld the
 flavors.  Add cheese, mixing thoroughly until melted. Serve
 immediately.
 Since you're using "real" cheese, this does not reheat well, but I've
 rarely had leftovers, so it is a moot point. Mother told me years ago
 that she has substituted canned cheese soup when she knows it'll be
 reheated, but I've never had the nerve to try it.
