Nonsense. Place tortillas on oven-safe plate; cover with lots of grated
cheese (monterey jack and/or cheddar and/or pepper jack and/or...);
broil until cheese melts; pull out of oven and cover with toppings. We
use pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream, but the possibilities are
endless.

Pice de gallo works, but I personally prefer Pace brand medium chunky
picante sauce. ;-d Forgot to add that to my last post. <G> Thanks for
the reminder!

Why Pace? You should be able to get real fresh or at least pretend
fresh commercial salsa's at your grocery stores.

The fresh stuff tends to be too damned hot and reeking of Cilantro stems.

Pace is good. Pace is always sitting there on the bottom shelf of the
refrigerator when I'm ready for it. And yes, no damned soapweed.

I *love* the fake-whey cheese sauce. Crave it, even. What I think is
nonsense is the "you need" part of your statement. Brat.

Ooooh, yum.

I just took a couple bites of the braised beef I'm making for dinner.
Pretty damn good. I have a craving for macaroni salad, so I think I'll
make that for one of the sides (farmbox zucchini for the other, probably).
