"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Personal Notes:
This recipe makes at least 5 servings. It freezes very well for future meals. When you reheat, you can add more cheese if your prefer. You can also serve with salsa and sour cream. Make it your own and add whatever topping you would like.
