Queso Relleno!

I watched an episode of M:OPAAT (Mexico: One Plate at a Time) last night, the one where RB makes queso relleno. I had never heard of such a thing. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. I think this will have to be the next Mexican meal I make. The literal translation to english is 'stuffed cheese.' He used Chihuahua cheese and stuffed it with a pork picadillo filling, which consisted of ground pork with a tomato/chile sauce. To make the dish he put two big slices of cheese in the bottom of a crock, then added the pork filling, and put two more slices of cheese on top...then baked it all until the cheese was melted and browned a bit. So the pork filling was completely encased within the hot, melted cheese. I have to try it...it looked so unbelievably good.

Now where can I get myself some Chihuahua cheese??
