At least once a week, my kids beg me to pick up take-out from their favorite Mexican restaurant. I usually say no because the restaurant is clear across town, and driving there is more trouble than actually making dinner. Plus, I never understand what's so special about this place; they order the most ordinary cheese quesadillas. They claim it's all about the queso, which comes on the side with tortilla chips. I have tried several times to recreate this extraordinary queso (which, by the way, I suspect is made by melting a giant block of Velveeta-like processed cheese) but the verdict is always the same: "too fancy." Finally, I came up with this version that suits them and suits me. It's rich, creamy, a little spicy -- and dangerously addictive served warm with tortilla chips. I might even drive out of my way for it ;)
