CHILE CON QUESO CREPES
16 ounces chile (canned or homemade) 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese 1 cup chopped onion 8 oz. taco sauce 16 large cornmeal crepes
If you like extra spice, add 1/2 teaspoon of chile powder to the cornmeal crepe recipe. Fill each crepe with about 2 tablespoons each of chile and cheese and 1 tablespoon each of the onion and taco sauce. Roll up. Arrange the crepes on a greased baking sheet. Cover them lightly with foil. Bake in a preheated 400ƒF oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
CORNMEAL CREPES
These little suckers are a bit heavier than traditional crepes. As a result, they work well with heartier fillings. I personally like them filled with chile or ratatouille.
3 eggs 1 cup milk 2 tablespoons oil or melted butter 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup cornmeal (yellow or white) 1/4 teaspoon salt
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Or, beat the eggs, then beat in the oil or butter. Add the dry ingredients and beat until smooth. Let the batter stand, if you wish, or use it immediately, stirring before each crepe is baked.
