Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:


Cilantro Pepita Dressing:
2 medium Anaheim chiles, roasted, peeled and seeded 1/3 cup roasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper 1 tsp. salt
12 oz. salad oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
5 Tbs. grated Cotija cheese (see note) 2 small bunches cilantro, stemmed
1 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup water
Salad:
2 corn tortillas Vegetable oil
1 large (or two small) heads romaine lettuce, rinsed and spun dry 1/3 cup finely grated Cotija cheese
Roasted red bell pepper, peeled and cut into julienne strips 1/2 cup pepitas (roasted pumpkin seeds)
Place all dressing ingredients except cilantro, mayonnaise and water
in a a blender of food processor. Blend approximately 10 seconds, then add cilantro little by little until blended smooth. Depending on size

Place mayonnaise and water in a large stainless steel bowl, and mix with a wire whip until smooth. Add the blended ingredients to the mayonnaise mixture, and mix thoroughly. Place in an air-tight container and refrigerate. Will keep for three days. Yields 1 quart.
To assemble salad: Cut corn tortillas into matchstick-size strips. Heat oil in sauté pan; fry tortilla strips until crisp. Remove with
slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels. Set aside. Tear romaine into bite-size pieces. Place greens on salad plates and ladle approximately 2 ounces of cilantro pepita dressing on each salad.
Sprinkle each dish with Cotija cheese and tortilla strips.
Arrange four red pepper strips like spokes on the top of each salad, and garnish with whole pepitas.
Note: Cotija cheese is a hard cheese, similar to Parmesan.
