Mexican Fondue

8 oz pepper jack cheese, shredded
4 oz gruyere cheese, shredded
4 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 cup chicken stock, (the recipe calls for mexican beer, what do you know? I'm fresh out)
2 tsp hot sauce, such as tabasco
zest of 1 lime, plus 1 tbps fresh lime juice
3 tbsp canned green chili peppers, finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish, optional

serve with:
grilled chicken or steak, cubed
grilled, chopped sausage
sliced zucchini
chunks of bell peppers

in a small bowl combine cheeses and cornstarch. add the chicken stock to a small pot and bring up to a bubble over medium heat. reduce the heat to simmer and add the hot sauce, lime zest and juice, then the cheese mixture in handfuls. stir constantly in a figure eight pattern with a wooden spoon, melting the cheese in batches. when the cheese has been incorperated fully, stir in the chili peppers. transfer to fondue pot and garnish with cilantro, if using, then serve.
