To prepare for this fall’s Best of Dallas® 2012 issue, we’re counting down (in no particular order) our 100 Favorite Dishes. If there’s a dish you think we need to try, leave it in the comments, or email me.
El Tizoncito can call it whatever they want — alambres bistec con queso has lots of syllables and sounds fancy for sure — but I’m calling a spade a spade. This dish is a cheese steak plain and simple.
It’s not a Philly cheese steak for sure. The bread has been replaced by tortillas, and the provolone by Monterrey Jack, but the steak and onion (ignore the green pepper) combination with melting, oozing diary stays true to the flavors you’ve grown to love.
Order yours with flour tortillas, and if you’re nimble you’ll be able to pick the whole thing up like it was on an Amoroso roll. Run a stripe of spicy red salsa down the length, and then a healthy squeeze of limes and some fresh onions for crunch and some cilantro too, if you’re inclined. Be careful, though. Wiz-with may never be the same again. And now that El Tizoncito has three locations, bistec con queso may be easier to get in Dallas than its Philadelphia counterpart.
