Cheese Snack on Chips
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. This simple cheese appetizer on chips recipe will delight lovers of spicy flavors. I learned this recipe after attending a Mexican-themed party at one of the local restaurants. The appetizer impressed me so much that I kept pestering the chef until he revealed the secret! As it turned out, mixing beer with sour cream is not only possible but necessary for a rich, full-bodied flavor. Give it a try. Serve with fresh herbs and sauce.
