Burrito Additions

I recently posted a note about making burritos from leftovers. While they are very good as they are, here is a way to take them a step further. Cover them with a pepper cheese sauce. My wife asked me to make this to go along with the burritos and it turned out really well. Use whatever peppers that satisfy your need for heat.

2 Tbsp. Butter
2 Tbsp. Flour
3 Tbsp. hot peppers, minced ( jalapenos, habaneros, etc.)
2 Tsp. chicken base
4 oz. cheese, shredded ( I like white cheddar)
1- 1/2 cup Half and Half
Over medium heat, melt butter then add peppers. Saute for 2 minutes. Add flour and stir well to make a roux. Keep stirring for a couple of minutes then add chicken base and start adding half and half, slowly and stirring constantly. If the sauce is too thick or thin, adjust the amount of half and half. The cheese will thicken the sauce a bit. Let the sauce simmer for five minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cheese and stir.
