I tried this recipe and it was delicious! The only thing I would change is to use a different type of cheese. I used cheddar cheese and it was a bit too strong for my taste.

Very tasty and easy to make. I used a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies instead of the salsa. It was a great addition.
