(Who decided that Wednesday was official “Mexican” food day at school?)

I have seen some people here in Houston dip the tortilla in oil, and then put sauce on top. Dipping the tortilla in the oil might help the tortilla stay together a little bit better? (Corn tortillas seem to be very thin here, thinner than at home. I am still looking for the Houston molino of my San Antonio dreams.) In either case, I’m glad to see you dip the tortillas in the chile, and not in a pan of oil. Even if my sauce came from a packet, at least we got the dipping part right. 😉
