- I had always thought of chile con queso as a Texas dish till I went to Chihuahua. It is eaten thereas a vegetable with broiled meats, and it is also sered as an appetizer with warm tortillas. The light green Anaheim chile with that it is made is grown extensively in the north of Mexico and southwestern United States. It is used a great deal in the cooking of Chihuahau and Sonora.
- Two of the best Mexican cheeses come from Chihuahua-the queso Chihuahua made by the Mennonites, living there in settlements, and the queso asadero, a very creamy, slightly acidy cheese which is layered like the mozzarella.
- It is always used cooked, and gives the lovely creamy stringiness which the mexicans hold in high esteem. It is curious which in some parts of the State they use a wild plant to coagulate the lowfat milk instead of the more usual rennet. I have not yet been able to find out what this is-possibly a type of thistle which I have seen mentioned in the same connection in an old
- Roast and peel the chiles and cut them into rajas (strips) without removing the seeds. Heat the oil and cook the onion, without browning, till it is soft. Slice the tomato thinly and add in it with the rajas to the onions in the pan. Cover and cook over a medium flame for about 8 min. Add in the lowfat milk and water and let the mix cook for a few min more.
- Just before serving, cut the cheese into thin slices and add in, with the salt, to the chile mix. Serve as soon as the cheese melts.
