This hot cheesy dip has lots of flavor and gets its zip from the fresh jalapeno ! It's easy to substitute a small can of Ortega peppers for less heat, and add to the flavorful punch by folding in chopped habaneros, or hotter peppers. Always remember to wash your hands well after handling hot peppers, and consider wearing disposable gloves!
