That sounds like a standard queso cheese (typically found on your chimis etc.)
If you are looking for a terrific queso recipe, there are myriad. However, two tips for any queso:
- seek out "Chihuahua Cheese" (its a mild white that melts very smoothly and has a subtle flavor)
- pepper and cumin and paprika roasted first are your friends, but if you add more than a little, they are your worst enemies. (also, fresh roast jalapenos for ideal flavor, don't use diced.)
Penzeys (a spice co.) makes theirs from:
salt, black pepper, paprika, Turkish oregano, cayenne pepper, garlic, celery, Mexican oregano, basil, nutmeg, cumin, marjoram, thyme and rosemary.
No numbers are given, and you probably don't need two kinds of oregano, but I've made it before with a similar list, and it is generally insensitive to precise ratios. I'd start with
2x black pepper, paprika, oregano, cayenne, garlic,
1x basil, cumin, marjoram
1/2x nutmeg, thyme, rosemary
bulk up with salt (store-bought stuff is mostly salt), and experiment from there. You can probably find more on google. Add hotter things or anything you find interesting :)

We do a fajita night once a week in my house; so I have tuned the following recipes over the last 10 years or so.
Cheese base is pending my mood; queso fresca, standard white sauce with cheddar or some fancy mexican blend with the standard, colby/cheddar/jack...
Based on your post i would recommend the colby/cheddar/jack with spices (can we call that the fajita trinity?).
