THE NEW QUESO

Steps:

• To roast the Anaheim chiles and jalapenos: Roast the chiles by using metal tongs to hold them one-by-one over the flame of your stovetop until the skin is totally charred. (If you don't have a gas stove, you can use an outdoor grill OR place them on a baking sheet directly under your oven's broiler.) When totally blackened, place the chiles in a large resealable plastic bag and seal the bag to allow them to sweat for a good 20 minutes. Then use a knife to scrape off most of the blackened skin. Stem, seed and dice the chiles.
• In large pot over medium heat, add the bacon and chorizo. Cook until the fat has been rendered out, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add the garlic and onion to a food processor and pulse until almost a paste.
• Drain off most of the fat from the bacon and chorizo, then add the garlic-onion puree to the pot and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pour the diced tomatoes and green chiles into the food processor and pulse slightly. Add to the pot, juice and all. Fold in the reserved diced chiles. Cook for 4 minutes. Slowly whisk in both cheeses and the evaporated milk. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through, making sure to not scorch the bottom of the pot. Garnish with the chopped cilantro and eat from the pot with tortilla chips.

SUPER QUICK AND EASY SOUTHWESTERN PIZZA!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees (or according to your dough directions).
• Follow directions for dough and spread out on a parchment lined baking sheet (the parchment helps avoid sticking). I use a 9x15 baking sheet because it gives a great edge/lip for the crust, and holds all the yummy toppings on the pizza with no spills, but whatever you have will be fine. I'm sure you could do this on a stone, as well.
• Once dough is prepared, Bake dough in the oven for 5-8 minutes (or until dough is starting to brown). This helps make sure everything cooks through :).
• Remove dough from the oven, and spread a thin layer of sauce on the pizza, leaving 1/2 of an inch space all around for crust allowance.
• Evenly spread a layer of cooked ground turkey meat (seasoned with taco seasoning), frozen veggies and black beans. *Also, you could cook the veggies and beans in with the meat to add extra flavor!
• Top with as much shredded cheese as you like.
• Place pizza in oven for 10-15 minutes, or until bottom and crust are golden brown, and cheese is melted. *Time may vary depending on your oven and type of dough you use. Keep a watchful eye so it doesn't over bake =).
• Other yummy toppings for this pizza are: Spinach, mushrooms, olives, goat cheese (so good!), tomatoes -- the possibilities are endless, really. Don't be afraid to add new things to this recipe. It's pizza! Everyone LOVES pizza, right?!
• Enjoy!
