I found the Fiesta Cheese Torta under new file posts today - and thanks for the recipe! Awesome! :love:

A GREAT way to show it off is to use the Trifle Bowl - layer difference coloured tortilla chips - one layer of red, one layer of corn, one layer of the dark blue, one layer of the "guacomole-green" ones. Very pretty! :)

Have a great weekend, all!
 
Great idea!
 
i saw this recipe in the file and was wondering if it is a pc recipe and if so where is it from? Sounds yummy. I try to only demo pc recipes so the customers can purchase the cookbook that they come out of.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it was a PC recipe - Colleen would know for sure.

I don't have all my old cookbooks memorized so I can't think of where...

It would have to be older - not on CC anymore...
 
The Fiesta Cheese Torta was a PC recipe from a few years back. The Greek one for this Spring/Summer is a variation that was developed to use the new Greek Rub.
 
Ah, thanks.
