Food and Recipes Dish Dips Queso Fundido with Mushrooms and Chiles Recipe Be the first to rate & review! This molten three-cheese dip is topped with a mouthwatering mixture of toasted garlic, mushrooms, and green chiles. This hot skillet dip will be the center of attention at any party. Created by San Antonio chef Johnny Hernandez, this queso is made with three cheeses (Monterey Jack, Muenster, and queso fresco). Hernandez then tops the dip with an irresistible mixture of sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and chiles. Hernandez likes to use Anaheim chiles in this recipe. It is a mild green chile. If you can't find Anaheim chiles, substitute poblano chiles, which are available in most grocery stores. Serve this queso with plenty of your favorite crunchy tortilla chips for dipping. Let the party begin!
