Zap it!

Here’s a hot cheesy dip for your favorite game.  It’s a snap to make in microwave (or should I call it a zap?).

Hot Cheese Mushroom & Chorizo Dip

Makes about 3 cups

12 oz Mexican asadero or Monterey Jack cheese, cut into chunks
6 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 cup Mexican-style chorizo, cooked, well drained
2 green onions, chopped, or 1/4 cup minced white onion

Combine all ingredients in a 2-quart microwavable bowl. Heat at 70 percent power in microwave for 3 minutes. Remove and stir well. Heat again at 70 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir and check to see if cheese is melted. If not melted, continue heating at 10 minute intervals, stirring after each minute.

When all the cheese is melted, the mixture will have a uniform color. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
