Pancho Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine ketchup and chili sauce in sauce pan and simmer over medium heat for 45 minutes until reduced in volume, stirring occasionally.
• Add remaining ingedients, except mayo and stir well. Cook for 2 minutes.
• Add mayo, salt and pepper to taste and stir well. Remove mixture from heat and pour into jars. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• This sauce can be stored for several months in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• 1. Place everything in a jar with a lid and shake very well to mix. The jar is my favorite way to mix salad dressings. The mustard in this recipe will emulsify the dressing and keep it from separating if mixed thoroughly.

Steps:

• Measure first 4 ingredients into a small bowl, stirring well to mix.
• (Note: As tastes have changed over the years, I have gradually decreased the Accent slightly, measuring a scant tablespoon so it won't be too salty.) Pour 1 can of tomatoes, including juice, into the bowl of a food processor.
• Add 2 tablespoons of spice mixture and 5- 6 slices of pickled jalapenos.
• Pulse on and off briefly several times until ingredients are well-mixed and tomatoes are broken into small pieces but still retain some texture.
• (It should look like a thick salsa.) Pour tomato mixture into a medium saucepan.
• Repeat with remaining can of tomatoes, remaining spices, and additional slices of jalapenos, adding mixture to the saucepan after processing.
• If your food processor can handle it, grate cheese and then put in a large pot or Dutch oven; if not, chop cheese coarsely by hand.
• (A Cuisinart makes it easier, but it doesn't affect the final outcome.) Cook tomato mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently; bring just to the boiling point, BUT DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL!
• The instant the first bubble breaks the surface, remove from heat and pour over cheese.
• Stir well, until cheese seems to have melted as much as it's going to (which won't be much-- it will still be extremely lumpy).
• Using a ladle (or a coffee mug), pour approximately 3 cups of the mixture into the food processor bowl.
• Process approximately 20-30 seconds, until mixture is smooth.
• Remove lid from processor bowl and taste for'heat' and consistency.
• If it is not as hot as you'd like, add a few more jalapeno slices.
• It will be waaaay too thick, so add water (several tablespoons at a time), processing briefly after each addition, until it is the proper consistency.
• Each batch will require a different amount of water, depending on the ratio of cheese to tomato sauce, but you'll quickly get the hang of about how much to add.
• If you accidentally get one batch too thin, you can easily compensate by making the next one extra-thick and stirring them together.
• Although this makes a huge amount, it will disappear more quickly than you ever thought possible, so stock up on lots of chips!
• Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for days on end.

Steps:

• Melt cheese until smooth in a double boiler or microwave, stirring throughout.
• Puree rotel in blender or small processor.
• Stir into the cheese the rotel, cumin and garlic.
• If too thick, add a little water.
• Serve with tortilla chips.
• ENJOY.

Steps:

• Cut corn tortillas in triangles (as you would cut a pie), fry tortilla chips in cooking oil until crispy.
• Remove from oil and set on paper towels to drain. Lay out tortilla chips on a cookie sheet.
• Heat refried beans in skillet for about 6-8 minutes, stirring so they do not stick to skillet.
• Remove skin and seed from Avacado and mash well, adding salt to taste.
• Then take 1 cheese quarter, and place on each tortilla chip. Place cookie sheet in 350 degree oven about 1-2 minutes until cheese has slightly melted but not completely.
• Remove chips from cookie sheet and place on a platter.
• Then take 1/2 teaspoon of refried beans and 1/2 teaspoon of mashed avacado, top each one with 1 slice of jalapeno.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a blender (or use immersion hand blender) and liquefy.
• Enjoy.
