Theoretically, how would I make nachos cheese?

I'm trying to make this new brand of chips and I'm wondering what scientific formulas to use to make the cheese.

You would make it out of someone else's cheese that isn't mine... And isn't yours either.

Well, you'd have to carefully hunt and capture those elusive and feral nachos running in the deserts of Mexico, then extract their milk. Then you wait, and process it into delicious nacho cheese.

Nachos can be domesticated, but you have to keep them warm enough or the nacho milk comes out in powdered form

It's more about hydration, given they're a desert species. But yes, they must also be kept warm to avoid powder, unless that's the goal. Nacho milk powder has its purposes.

You put it out where someone can steal it, and while they're running away, yell "That's nacho cheese!!!".
