This is probably a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway...

It says 1/2 loaf (16 oz) French bread, divided

I bought a loaf of French bread, seems to be the standard size bread I see at bakeries all the time. The bag it's in says it's 16 oz. So do I use the whole loaf if it's 16 oz?

 

[AmaraJ]

To me, that would mean to use 1/2 of the 16oz loaf that you have. I could be wrong...but that's what I would do

 

[babywings76]

I think I'll do half the loaf. A whole loaf seems to be too much in the DCB anyway. We'll see how it turns out!

Let us know how this turns out, thats one of the recipes I want to try, but haven't yet.

Okay, just finished eating it. DH should be home soon, so I'll see what he thinks.I wasn't able to find the Chihuahua cheese, so I used cheddar/colby jack combo cheese. After cooking the Chorizo and realizing how much seasoning is in it, I started getting nervous that this was going to get really spicy (because it also uses the southwestern style egg product on the bread). I decided to use regular diced tomatoes and skip using the ones with green chilies in it. I also just used 1/2 of a green bell pepper instead of a second poblano, for fear of how spicy the poblanos were going to make this.End result was pretty good. I'd make it again. I told the kids that this was a sort of Mexican French toast. The kids ate most of what I served them. Except my 3 yr. old, but he will only eat mashed potatoes every night, so I can't go by his opinion.

Thanks for the review. Makes me want to try it now.

I can't find Chihuahua cheese in our regular grocery store but it's always in stock at the corner Mexican carniceria and fruteria - and they have it in chunks and pre-shredded. We LOVE chihuahua cheese! A good substitute is Monterey Jack if you don't have your own Mexican corner store.

OK, I must be way more tired than I thought. I've never heard of Chihuahua cheese, so I immediately thought, "dog cheese????"

 

[myinnerchef]

The first time the kids saw Chihuahua cheese, DH told them it was made from Chihuahua milk.Normally, they believe anything he says but they looked at me for verification and I shook my head , 'No.'

 

[babywings76]

Thought I'd let you know DH's opinion. He liked it, but thought it should be served with something else because it's good, but you don't want a huge serving of it. I thought some fresh fruit or a salad maybe? He just called me from work to let me know that it tastes even better today for his leftovers he brought for lunch.
