Fideo

[tdjohnsn]

I saw a reference to a mexican dish called Fideo in a comic strip today, and had to look it up since I was not sure what it was (it seems to be both the name of a dish, and a type of pasta.)

I found three different recipes, all of which sound good, but which are all very different than one another. Does anyone know which is more authentic? Or is it a regional thing so one is authentic to part of mexico, and another to Arizona and so forth?

fideo (mexican pasta)

6 nests fideo (angel hair pasta)
12 oz jar picante sauce (mild or medium)
1 cup julienned nopalitos (cactus) OR 12 oz jar pickled cactus
drained and rinsed OR (in a pinch) 2 julienned and
blanched bell peppers
1 can pinto, poquito, anasazi, pink or other beans of your choice
1 small can (4 oz?) diced green chiles

cook the pasta according to package directions. blanch cactus, if
using fresh. drain beans and green chiles. toss all ingredients
together.

this dish is best at room temperature, although it is good hot or
cold also. I have given just the basic recipe; you can add all
kinds of things, like corn, fresh tomatoes, cilantro, scallions,
blanched chayote squash, etc.
