Mid-term Idea One

Mid-Term Idea One

For my first idea I was thinking of making beef enchiladas with a side of queso flameado. The enchilada recipe is one my family has used for years, but I also relate to it personally because of the combinations of the dry tortillas which relate to my sarcastic humor. Along with the savory and salty meat that I relate to my resting personality. The food in general reminds me of music as well, growing up I listened to Selena and hearing her music always reminds me of food, so I relate this dish to my favorite type of music, which are cumbias a type of latin music played throughout Mexico and most of Latin America. 

The Queso Flameado is a cheese dish made using melted cheese, poblano peppers, and chorizo, that is then lit on fire before being served. I would like to add this as a side because of its spiciness and cheesy texture, as I am sometimes spicy and sarcastic as well as being a cheesy person all the time. This dish was also created in the area my family is from and has ties to my hobbies as I love to cook with cheeses and how they interact with the different foods around them.
