I got this from a friend who lived in Bolivia. A great party dip!

Brown 3 slices diced bacon and one small onion, chopped, until bacon is crispy and onion is slightly brown. Add 1 small can (10 oz) tomatoes, drained, 2 jalapenos finely chopped, 1 clove of garlic finely chopped, and ½ t salt. Cook over low heat for ten minutes. Melt in 1 pound of Velveeta cheese very slowly, stirring occasionally. Serve over a candle with Dorito chips.
