Salsa Mushrooms

Submitted by JillAZ

"This comes from the book "Pacific Fresh". It is one of my favorite cookbooks. These are a great little appetizer, especially for a mexican meal. Something a little different than chips and salsa. I ate some of the leftovers with a salad for lunch the next day - yummy!"

It was easy, cheesy, and we will make it again sometime. That's three people giving it three stars, btw. Thanks!

My hubby and DD thought these were excellent, I found the texture not to my liking, but the recipe is right on for directions and cook time. I will make these again, I think they are a great party appetizer

Easy recipe, unique. I recommend using hot salsa (I used medium) and plain tortilla chips. I found that they could be spicier and I think that the hot salsa will do the trick. Took exactly 15 minutes to get them hot with the cheese melted and browned. I served these for brunch as a side dish - excellent, or of course they will make great appitizers Thanks JiHaZ for a "Do again" recipe
