One of my favorite Mexican dishes is queso fundido - basically heaping quantities of melted cheese mixed with various meats (usually chorizo) and served in tortillas as an appetizer. The trouble is finding good Mexican ingredients at your local New England grocery store. Mexican melting cheese and chorizo are not always readily available.
So I experimented with a lb. of white American cheese from the deli (as close to Mexican cheese as I could find) and a sort of homemade "chorizo" made by pouring all sorts of spices into ground pork. It actually turned out rather well, considering. I intend to play with it some more and experiment on my friends, but it seemed to be a success (and not that all difficult to prepare - if I could only learn to dice an onion properly).
