Hot Tamale Fondue

Ingredients:
– 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
– 1/2 cup cornmeal
– 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
– 1/2 cup chopped pickled jalapeños
– 1/2 cup chopped black olives
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Tortilla chips, for dipping

Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, toss the shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses with the cornmeal until the cheese is evenly coated. This will help thicken the fondue and give it a nice texture when melted.
2. In a fondue pot or a small saucepan over low heat, combine the diced tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, black olives, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and let it simmer gently for a few minutes to let the flavors meld.
3. Gradually add the cheese and cornmeal mixture to the pot, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the fondue is smooth and creamy. If the fondue seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
4. Once the fondue is smooth and heated through, adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. The combination of the cheeses and spices should give it a deliciously tangy and spicy flavor.
5. Serve the Hot Tamale Fondue hot with a side of tortilla chips for dipping. The crispy and salty chips will be the perfect complement to the rich and spicy fondue. Encourage your guests to dunk the chips generously into the fondue, making sure to get a mix of all the delicious toppings in each bite.
