This was WONDERFUL! And my house smelled terrific all this snowbound day!
I adapted it from a recipe I found on the web.
When I realized that I used all my canned beef broth for my French Onion Soup last night, and I couldn't get out to the store today, I used 2 cups of the onion soup instead of the beef broth. I might use canned onion soup next time, since this was so excellent!
Can't wait to make taco salads with it, too!

P.S. This is the first time I've tried Queso Fresco. Much like a dry ricotta or Farmer's Cheese, only a little saltier. I like it better!
