My friend Tom, lurker on this list, used to make a chile con queso for a restaurant here in KC in the 50's and 60's. He used two seeded cartilla chiles with 5 lbs of process cheese and a number 10 can of tomato puree. He says that the two chiles were enough to heat up the queso "real nice". He asked me what they are, and I don't know what they are so I thought I would ask the true experts. Anyone know what a cartilla chile is or where to get 'em? Tom said they were commercially available here 30-40 years ago. Michael Pierce Telecommunications Manager - MarTel International, Inc. 11038 N.
