I recently took a trip to the border city of El Paso, Texas. My good friend Bob, recommend a great restaurant for dinner. So my family drove – for what seemed like miles and miles to go to the great Mexican Restaurant called Julio’s Café Corona. I figured it must be really good since she is a native of El Paso. Well if was a great choice. For an appetizer I ordered Chile con Queso. When it arrived at the table I was surprised to see if was very different than the Chile con Queso I am use to eating in New Mexico. Our Chile con Queso is usually a saucy yellow cheddar with green chilies and tomatoes. This was basically layered sautéd onions, mild chile peppers and tomatoes covered in melted white cheddar cheese. I of course, always ask for the recipe, so the waiter sent the chef to our table and he kindly explained to me how to prepare Chile con Queso. So here it is – authentic Mexican Chile con Queso. It is fabulous . . .
Bon Appétit,
