Minguichi (recipe)

[Guest guest]

This is one of my favorite cheese dips. I vary this

recipe everytime I make it. I'm not a big fan of the

toasted ancho chiles....I find them too bitter

(perhaps I over toasted them). I like making this

with Monterrey jack or a half/half mixture of cheddar

and Monterrey jack. I like to add chopped pickled

jalapenos to the dip too.

 

Minguichi

 

1 cup Mexican crema (or creme fraiche if you cannot

find crema)

2 cups gated medium cheddar cheese

2 ancho chiles, seeded, and toasted until crisp

 

Spoon the crema into a heavy saucepan and cook over

low heat until warmed.

 

Add the cheese and stir until it melts. Crumble the

chiles and mix well, then pour into a bowl and serve

immediately with tortilla chips.
