Place a medium-sized pot over medium heat on your stovetop or portable burner.

Add the unsalted butter to the pot and allow it to melt completely.

Once the butter is melted, sprinkle in the all-purpose flour. Whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a smooth roux. It should be light in color.

Slowly pour the evaporated milk into the pot while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in the chopped mild green chilis (undrained), chili powder, and garlic powder. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined.

Reduce the heat to low. Add the cubed white American cheese to the pot, a handful at a time, whisking continuously after each addition until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated. This process should take about 5-7 minutes.

Once all the cheese is melted and the dip is smooth and creamy, taste and add salt as needed. Remove the pot from the heat.

Carefully pour the finished queso dip into a serving bowl. Serve immediately with tortilla chips and enjoy!
