QUESO FUNDIDO

printable PDF version
Queso Fundido is one of our favorite party dips. It’s sooo good that your friends will require it all your future parties! It’s a little time-consuming, but well worth the effort, and you can do it in stages. Smoke the mushrooms ahead of time, then assemble the mixture and have it ready to bake at party time. Serve with warmed, soft corn tortillas or your favorite tortilla chips.
