This looks so good! It reminds me of a dish I had at Hat Dance in Chicago. It was seafood fundido. The melted cheese, with lobster and shrimp and onions, and you put it in a soft tortilla. My mouth is totally watering right now!Jenn@slim-shoppinhttp://www.slim-shoppin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-90843541136608572202010-01-30T23:45:26.747-06:002010-01-30T23:45:26.747-06:00OMG this looks so fantastic!

I love Rick Bayless too. My store is that I was at Frontera Grill around 1998? Anyway, it was just when habanero peppers were becoming popular, and as hard as I tried, I could never find them!<br /><br />I asked the server where the restaurant got them and he said &quot;the grocery store?&quot; I of course ate everything on my plate, but as we were leaving the server starts to hand me a bag and I start to say that there shouldn&#39;t be a doggie bag, but he handed me A WHOLE BAG of habaneros! <br /><br />That is when I found out how fricken hot they are - I took one big bite the first time and within seconds I was crying and sweating!<br /><br />Of course, I would leave out the onions in your recipe but it looks amazing!biz319http://biz319.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-21125729884182502222010-01-30T08:11:33.614-06:002010-01-30T08:11:33.614-06:00I have never seen a dish like this one! So different, yet looks really good. How about you come to my house (I&#39;m only about 3 hrs from Chicago!) and make it for me! I&#39;m lazy today:)Sweet and Savoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05386545618716236858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-45167705989436348322010-01-29T21:34:19.305-06:002010-01-29T21:34:19.305-06:00We should, Mara! I keep hearing whispers of a 2nd blogger meet up. <br /><br />haha Cyndi you crack me up! I used a yellow onion, but now that you mentioned his preference I looked it up in the back of the book and you are correct!<br /><br />I thought you&#39;d like that Sophia! And the edges of the cheese got crisp and yummy, it was delicious!Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02170704307873703753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-84446668453485797962010-01-29T21:07:45.247-06:002010-01-29T21:07:45.247-06:00Melted cheese? ooh la la Christina! And wow, Rick Bayless IS really a nice guy! I love it when celebrities (he&#39;s one to me!) are so real.sophiahttp://burpandslurp.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-43689160235097585072010-01-29T20:19:13.322-06:002010-01-29T20:19:13.322-06:00Oh. My. God. <br /><br />I don&#39;t know what I&#39;m more excited about...to learn that you are a Rick Bayless fan, that he talked to you on twitter, that you have a SIGNED cookbook, or how fabulous this dish looks!<br /><br />Hubby and I watched his show religiously and own a couple of his unsigned *sniff sniff* cookbooks. Hubby is the cook in this household and also Mexican so he&#39;s tried several of the recipes and they are always sublime. In fact, he&#39;s making a roasted pierna de puerca this Sunday and I can&#39;t freakin&#39; wait to try it.<br /><br />Have you been to Frontera Grill or *sigh* Topolobampo? I have NOT and am dying to go. We have made 2 attempts to get to Frontera and both times something came up and we had to change plans. It&#39;s really inexcusable that we have such an amazing chef in Chicago who we adore and have not been to his restaurants!<br /><br />Ok, back to your Queso Fundido...seriously it look amazing. I was happy to read that you did NOT substitute the Chihuahua cheese AND that you used Poblano peppers (one of my favorite dishes of all time is chiles rellenos). <br /><br />Did you use white or yellow onions? I&#39;ve always favored yellow but learned from one of Rick&#39;s shows that he prefers white in Mexican cooking and I notice a huge difference, even in my rice, when I use white vs. yellow.<br /><br />Chorizo &amp; eggs (scrambled) with flower tortillas is one of the best and simplest and most delicious breakfasts in the world.<br /><br />Ok, sorry about the blog post disguised as a comment...I&#39;m off to stalk Rick on twitter! :)Cyndihttp://www.somuchmorethanamom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-33434177210956344022010-01-29T19:42:44.021-06:002010-01-29T19:42:44.021-06:00Seriously, the next time you cook like this, you have to invite me over... speaking of, we should get together soon!Mara @ What's for Dinner?http://www.imadedinner.netnoreply@blogger.com
