Nice Hot Salsa and Queso

OK…I can’t believe I haven’t posted this one yet.  This is my favorite snack/appetizer.  It’s spicy, but good spicy.  Serve it up and watch it go.  The preparation time is a matter of minutes and it’s a whole lot better than any store bought version.   Last year, I showed my friend’s teenaged son how to make it and he makes it all the time.

Salsa

Ingredients:

• 1 14.5 ounce can of petite diced tomatoes
• 1/2 Vidalia onion – chopped
• 4-5 stalks of fresh cilantro
• 1 jalapeño – chopped fine
• 1 TBLSP ground chipotle powder
• 1 tsp lime juice

Method:

1. Mix everything together.
2. Chill.
3. Serve with tortilla chips

Queso

Ingredients:

• Salsa above
• 1 pound of Velveeta Mexican cheese or Velveeta pepper jack cheese – cut into 1 inch cubes

Method:

1. In a microwavable dish, mix the salsa with the cheese.
2. Microwave for 3-4 minutes and stir.
3. Microwave for 3-4 more minutes and stir until smooth.
4. Serve with tortilla chips
