    List of Ingredients




    1 cup beer, anything but dark beer
    1/2 lb oaxaca cheese, grated or 1/2 lb mozzarella cheese
    1 lb asadero cheese or 1 lb muenster cheese, grated
    4 ounces green chilies, chopped (you can find these in a can- for authentic Mexican use poblano's- you can get these canned too)
    1/4 lb chorizo sausage (optional) or 1/4 lb soy chorizo (optional)
    1/2 cup tomato, chopped
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    salt & freshly ground black pepper

    Recipe



    1
    If using sausage: Cook sausage to release as much grease and oil as possible. Drain well on paper towels and crumble or chop sausage. We like to grill the sausage outside and let the grease drip off. Plus you get rewarded with a smokiness!
    2
    Meanwhile, in a microwave safe bowl or the removable crock of a small crock pot, heat beer for about 2 minutes or just to a simmer. Add half the cheese, stir well and microwave 1 minute. Add the rest of the cheese and microwave again until everything has melted completely. Stirring and checking at one minute intervals, of half minute if you have a powerful microwave.
    3
    Add remaining ingredients, including chorizo if using, and return again to microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring after each minute.
    4
    Serve with chips , tortillas, bread or veggies for dipping.
