Queso Fundido
Adapted from Rick Bayless
Serves 6
¼ cup coarsely chopped cilantro
3 cups Mexican melting cheese, shredded (Oaxaca, Chihuahua, Asadero or Monterey Jack)
1 small onion, cut into ¼-inch dice
2 medium tomatoes—cored, seeded and cut into ¼-inch dice
2 jalapeños, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Warm corn tortillas or tostadas
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the diced tomatoes, minced jalapeños, diced onion and a large pinch of salt and cook over moderately high heat, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the cheese and cook, stirring constantly, until fully melted, about 30 seconds. Quickly transfer the queso fundido to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve immediately.
Chicken Tostadas
Serves 6
½ cup vegetable oil
3 cups shredded Romaine lettuce
6 large radishes, halved and sliced

1 avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup crumbled queso fresco
Pico de gallo (recipe below) or your favorite salsa

Heat ½ cup of oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Fry tortillas, 1 at a time, turning once or twice and pressing with tongs to immerse, until golden brown, 45 to 60 seconds per tortilla. Drain briefly on paper towels, then transfer to plates.
Spread tortillas thickly with heated refried beans, then top with chicken.
