How to Make Mexican Fondue

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  2. Gradually whisk in the light beer, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens slightly.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, pepper jack cheese, and Mexican blend cheese, one handful at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is melted and smooth before adding more.
  4. Stir in the diced green chilies, cumin, and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Once the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy, transfer to a fondue pot or keep warm in the saucepan over very low heat. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving (optional).
