I'm so glad I tried this recipe. It's absolutely wonderful. I used diced tomatoes flavored with mild green chili's at DH's request!! I didn't use the Mont.Jack cheese, but instead used a four cheese Mexican blend and sharp cheddar instead of the extra sharp. I used medium shrimp which I chopped, but not real fine. I served this with triscuts and it was perfect because when you dipped you caught some shrimp!!
