Chili con queso

A Mexican cheese fondue. Another quick and easy addition to your Tex-Mex night.

When I first saw this recipe I thought that it might need a fondue set but because of the tomatoes and cream it remained liquid enough to eat without requiring any extra heat. It was great with some tortilla chips and odd vegetables.
