This is from my regional collection. I actually ate it at this famous Fort Worth Restaurant and obtained the recipe from the Chef. I have made it several times at home. Even though his is a tad bit better this one is 99% right on target. Read more My family and friends love this recipe and asks me to make it often. I usually serve this as an appetizer and serve chicken enchiladas, beef fajitas, chips and homemade salsa when I serve this delight. Yummy See less
