Melty, gooey cheese dip - want me to say it again? Melty, gooey cheese dip - yeah you heard me!!! This thermomix chilli con queso dip is one that will be on regular rotation at the next BBQ/function. You may need to take a little bowl of your own so you can at least get some! :)
This was inspired by our trip to America earlier this year - it was literally on every menu - so I thought it must be a good thing to have :D and boy we weren't disappointed!
I have paired this with a couple of those flavoured CC's and Doritos and it's added a little extra bite to the dish. Although, I do like the plain ol' corn chips so I can savour that melty, gooey cheese. Yeah yeah I know melty, gooey cheese :D - go enjoy!
WARNING :
- Coriander lovers - this one is for you :D
- Coriander haters - just sub with some fresh basil :D

I get asked to make this all the time. We have some California reaper chillis that the boys want to try out but want this to offset the heat!
