"This is a traditional Mexican dip/sauce prepared with melted, blended cheeses and fresh roasted Poblano and Anaheim chiles, and served at Abuelo's Mexican restaurants across the states from Arizona to Virginia. It is delicious served with tortilla chips and I serve it over Mexican rice, burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, taquitos, flautas, chimichangas, Mexican egg rolls, and with a recipe I posted for Abuelo's Stuffed Chicken Medallions. Amazing on just about any Mexican fare!"
