Examples

“The day before, prepare⟳ the tortillas for the chalupitas and the quesos.”

“The ceviche is very good with just the right amount of spice; and quesos with chorizos and flour tortillas are a must.”

“It's something I call⟳ an "enchalupa." It's a flour tortilla deep-fried with the chalupa 'mold' so it forms a cruncy-fried bowl. Layer a touch⟳ of our queso dip, chicken, tomatoes, onion and enchilada sauce. Top with shredded cheese and pop it under the salamander til everything is melty and delicious. I like⟳ it with sour cream and cilantro on top. Serve⟳ this with beans and rice, and BAM! Instant lunch for the Chef.”

“All quesos, of course, are not created equal. You can have⟳ the high-rent, artisanal versions; I’ll take⟳ the low road. Snobbery has no place⟳ in my personal connoisseurship, since my quesos of choice are (almost) invariably made of processed cheese.”
