While Dave was at the church last night, a friend brought him this yummy stuff! He brought him a bag of tortilla chips with it, and Dave was in heaven. Miguel's is a restaurant Dave sometimes go to for work luncheons. He thought this was a very close imitation of their dipping sauce. It was pretty tasty!
