El Torito Mexican Caesar Dressing
1 medium anaheim chili-roasted/peeled/seeded
3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
(pepitas)-roasted
1 large clove garlic
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons grated cotija cheese
1 small bunch cilantro-stemmed
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons water
Place chili pepitas,garlic,pepper, salt,oil,vinegar and cotija cheese in
food processor. Blend about 10 seconds then add cilantro,bit by bit, until
smoothly blended.
Place mayonnaise and water in large stainless steel bowl and whisk until
smooth. Add blended chili mixture and mix thoroughly. place in airtight

This would probably be a great dipping sauce too, and I have found it in the
Albertson’s salad dressing isle recently.
