Scale
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 splash grenadine
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 1/3 cup half-and-half
- 1 cup american cheese

Instructions
- Slice red onion and place in small, heatproof bowl. Season with salt. Meanwhile, bring white vinegar to boil, then pour over onions in bowl. Add splash of grenadine and let sit while you make your queso.
- Warm coconut milk and half-and-half in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue heating for about 5 minutes, until it begins to steam. While it is heating grate your pepper jack cheese and cut your american cheese into cubes.

Stir in Thai red chili paste and mild green chilis. Continue stirring until thick enough that it barely sticks to a spoon. Remove from heat to thicken slightly more before serving.
