Instructions: Bell Peppers (3 - red, yellow, and green are nice)

Corn Chips (a 12-oz. bag, at least - but you know your audience better than we do!)

Melt the butter and chop the onion; saute the onion for five minutes or so, until its soft. Stir in the salsa and bring just to the boil, then remove from heat.

Off the burner, stir in the shredded cheese, then blend in the buttermilk or yogurt.

Now, either return to the stove over quite low heat and stir until just heated through - or place right over bottom heat of some sort, like a warming tray or a candle warmer. In either case, keep warm but never boiling until time to serve.

Serve with bell pepper strips and corn chips. (If you like, suggest to your guests that "chips and strips" might sound just a little like

"stars and stripes" - or not!)
