Chihuahuas

The good folks at the Sky-Vue Drive-In, in Lamesa, TX, came up with the brilliant concept of Chihuahuas. They are pure nostalgia and are legendary around here and they bring so many great memories to mind for many families who spent lots of fun summer nights out at the Sky-Vue! Sadly, the Drive-In is closed now, but luckily, these unique little sandwiches are easy to throw together. Have a movie night at home and make Chihuahuas! You’ll be glad you did!

What you need:

Corn tortillas
Vegetable oil for frying
Kosher salt
Prepared, seasoned taco meat
Price’s Pimento cheese spread
Fresh cabbage, shredded
Canned, whole jalapeños

Fry your tortillas in hot oil until they begin to stop sizzling in the grease and turn a pretty golden color. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with kosher salt.

Spread a thin layer of pimento cheese on one side of each fried corn tortilla. To each tortilla, add some taco meat, fresh cabbage, and top with another corn tortilla, pimento cheese side first. You are essentially making a sandwich!

Serve with hot peppers and lots of napkins! ….And prepare for greatness.

Make toy chihuahuas…..use a small circle cookie cutter and make little ones as appetizers. Set them out on a pretty platter at Christmas time. I bet you can’t make enough for the masses!
