Ninfas Queso Recipes

NINFA'S RED SALSA

Steps:

• Place the dried chiles on a cookie sheet and toast in a 325-degree oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Stem and seed them, and then set aside.
• In a medium skillet, simmer the tomatoes and garlic, in just enough water to prevent scorching until softened-about 20 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree along with the cilantro, salt, toasted chiles, and if desired, jalapenos, for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sauté the pureed salsa in a skillet with hot oil for 1 to 2 minutes.
• If the salsa is pale, you may wish to add some tomato sauce to deepen the color.
• This salsa may be made in advance and either refridgerated or frozen.

NINFA'S AVOCADO SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel the Avocado and smash to a smooth pulp. Add the remaining ingredients and blend with a wire whip. Let stand for at least an hour before serving.
• Increase to taste garlic, cilantro or pepper sauce.

QUESO FLAMEADO
