CHIHUAHUA DOGS
My mother made these for us when we were kids. I'm not sure where the name came from, unless it is from the Mexican state. Definitely not health food, but kids love it and it makes a quick, yummy lunch now and then. I always cut the tortilla trimmings into wedges, fry in the leftover hot oil, and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar to make quick sopapillas for dessert. Prep time does not include separate time for heating oil, as I heat the oil while I prepare the dogs.

Steps:
- Heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet.
- Trim the tortillas to fit the hot dogs' length.
- Slit the hot dogs lengthwise, taking care not to cut clear through or to cut through the ends.
- Tuck strips of cheese into the slit along the length of the hot dog.
- Wrap stuffed hot dogs in tortillas and secure with toothpicks.
- Fry hot dogs in oil until browned on all sides, turning to brown evenly.
- Remove toothpicks before serving.
- These will be quite hot inside, so take care when eating!
PASTA CHIHUAHUA
This creation set me on the path to fusion cuisine and gave me the confidence to open Rulis' International Kitchen. It came to me over 12 years ago and was inspired by an Italian meat sauce; the flavor is all Mexican though. Tomatoes were unknown to Europe until explorers and traders took them back from the New World (Mexico). This is a full circle dish: Mexico gave Italy tomatoes, Italy gave the world pasta and meat sauce, now I bring it back over the Atlantic and give you Mexican pasta.

Steps:
- For the house seasoning: Mix the salt, granulated garlic, smoked paprika and black pepper in a bowl and use to season everything.
- For the Chihuahua pasta sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and start browning the chorizo, about 4 minutes. Add the onions and minced garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes with green chile, stir and cook an additional 3 minutes. Stir in the fresh tomatoes, oregano, cumin and hot links. Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil and then simmer uncovered for 45 minutes.
- Cook the linguine until al dente. Set aside.
- Sprinkle the steak with the house seasoning and grill on high heat, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest 5 minutes before dicing the steak into bite-size chunks.
- Heat up 3 ounces of water in a saute pan and toss in the pasta to reheat. Toss in the steak and cook more if desired. Introduce the pasta sauce to the pan and heat it up to at least 140 degrees F. Nest the contents into a bowl, top with cotija cheese and garnish with fresh cilantro.
