  3. Reduce heat to low. Gradually stir in Chihuahua® Quesadilla until melted. Stir in beer; heat through. Serve immediately with chips.

Recipe Tips

The dip thickens as it cools. To reheat in the microwave: Warm dip in a microwave-safe bowl on high for 30-60 second intervals, depending on amount. Stir dip between each interval.| This recipe was tested with Modelo Negra™ beer.| Want less spicy heat? With a whole jalapeno, this dip has zip! To reduce the heat, remove the seeds and membranes before dicing the jalapeno pepper.| Avoid touching face when handling jalapeno peppers. Consider wearing gloves, as oils may burn skin.| This dip is yummy served with steamed veggies, over enchiladas, on tater tots or as the cheese sauce for mac and cheese.
