**Mexican Fondue**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 ½ cups shredded pepper jack cheese
– 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
– 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
– 1 cup Mexican lager beer
– 1 tablespoon diced green chilies
– 2 teaspoons ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
– 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
– Tortilla chips, bread cubes, cherry tomatoes, sliced bell peppers, and cooked sausages for dipping
**Instructions:**
1. In a medium bowl, toss the shredded pepper jack and cheddar cheese with the all-purpose flour until the cheese is evenly coated. This will help thicken the fondue.
2. Over low heat, in a fondue pot or a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the Mexican lager beer until it simmers. Be careful not to let it boil.
3. Gradually stir in the coated cheese, a handful at a time, allowing each addition to melt before adding more. Continue stirring until all the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Add the diced green chilies, ground cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder to the cheese mixture. Stir well to combine and allow the flavors to meld for a few minutes.
5. Just before serving, stir in the chopped cilantro and fresh lime juice to brighten up the flavors of the fondue.
6. Place the fondue pot on a fondue burner or a heat-safe surface to keep it warm and gooey while serving. Arrange your dipping options like tortilla chips, bread cubes, cherry tomatoes, sliced bell peppers, and cooked sausages on a platter nearby.
7. Invite your guests to dip and enjoy the delicious Mexican Fondue, encouraging them to mix and match their favorite combinations of dippables with the cheesy goodness.
