El Torito Cilantro-pepita Dressing

Adam was made as the image and likeness of God and was given dominion over the earth. He was called to live by faith and obey God’s commands. He was created to be the divinely appointed gardener who would turn the whole earth into a garden, and thus, as it were, extend the glory of God. But Adam failed. Instead of exercising the privilege of reflecting God as his image and experiencing in his miniature what it meant for God to be Lord of all – Adam forfeited it.

INGREDIENTS

1		Anaheim chile, roasted

3	T	Roasted pumpkin seeds
		pepitas
1		Clove garlic
1/8	t	Freshly ground black pepper
1/2	t	Salt
3/4	c	Oil
2	T	Red wine vinegar
3	T	Cotija cheese, grated
1		Bunch cilantro, stemmed
3/4	c	Mayonnaise
2	T	Water

INSTRUCTIONS

Place chile, pepitas, garlic, pepper, salt, oil, vinegar and cothija
cheese in blender or food processor.  Blend about 10 seconds, then  add
cilantro, bit by bit, until smoothly blended.  Place mayonnaise and
water in large stainless-steel bowl and whisk  until smooth.  Add
blended chile mixture and mix thoroughly.  Place  in airtight container
and refigerate.  Dressing may be stored up to  three days.  You can
substitute cacique or Parmesan cheese for the cotija.  Also,  it's not
complete without the crispy fried tortilla crumbled over the  top and
the extra pepita seeds. The recipe tells you to fry corn  tortillas in
oil, drain & crumble them. But I used crunched up lime  and chili
flavored Tostitos instead. Yields 2 cups.  butter@coyote.csusm.edu Sat

We substitute two or more fresh poblanos (pasillas in California),
depending on how hot they're running...  Will Borgeson
