2. **Make Roux:** Once the butter is melted, add the flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute to form a roux. It should be smooth and free of lumps.

3. **Add Milk:** Gradually whisk in the milk. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.

4. **Add Cheese:** Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, stirring constantly until fully melted and smooth.

5. **Add Tomatoes and Peppers:** Stir in the drained diced tomatoes with green chilies and the diced jalapeño pepper if using.
