Recipe - Queso Fundido With Sausage And Chipotle Chiles

One half pound Hot italian sausage
1 Three fourths cup Onion; chopped
1 cup Fresh cilantro; chopped
2 teaspoon Canned chipotle chiles;
chopped
10 ounce Monterey jack cheese; grated
12 small Flour tortillas

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Remove casings from the sausage and saute with the onion in a large
skillet, breaking up the sausage into small pieces with the back of a
spoon. Cook about 10 minutes.

3. Mix in One half cup cilantro and 1 teaspoon chipotle chiles.

4. Transfer mixture to a 9 inch baking dish.

5. Combine remaining cilantro, grated cheese and remaining chipotles in a
medium bowl.

6. Sprinkle cheese mixture over sausage mixture and bake for 1015 minutes

Notes: We make this often at our house since we discovered the recipe. It's
quick and easy to make and very tasty. Roll up in warm flour tortillas with
sour cream and salsa. A nice salad with a tangy vinagrette rounds this out
well, although we often serve cilantro chile mashed potatoes
