Queso Fundido with Mushrooms and Hatch Green Chile
Report
This molten cheese dip is topped with a mouthwatering mixture of sautéed shiitake mushrooms and green chiles. This queso is made with two cheeses (queso quesadilla and queso Oaxaca) combined with an irresistible mixture of sautéed mushrooms and Hatch green chile. If you can’t find Hatch chiles, substitute with Anaheim chiles, which are available in most grocery stores. Serve this queso with warm corn or flour tortillas.

- If you don't have access to Hatch peppers, you can use Anaheim, Poblano or even canned roasted green chiles instead
