|description=A Mexican cheese fondue
}}

A [[Mexican cheese]] fondue. Another quick and easy addition to your Tex-Mex night.

When I first saw this recipe I thought that it might need a fondue set but because of the [[tomatoes]] and [[cream]] it remained liquid enough to eat without requiring any extra heat. It was great with some [[tortilla chips]] and odd vegetables.

''Cheese chilli - who knew?''

4.5/5 

Just about two of my most favourite foods, combined. Cheese and chilli. I'm in heaven!
