\"\"<\/a>Blogger Alley Nomi<\/a> found a recipe for success in attracting followers just by posting a simple recipe titled “How to make Chico’s Tacos at home”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She’s been posting about “sex, drugs and rock and roll,” on her playful blog of \u00a0pop culture links, quotes, photos and plenty of attitude for several years now, but putting up a homemade Chico’s recipe brought in the crowd.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the answer is “Oh Yeah!” Think of all the poor ex-pats spread all over the world who can’t zip down to their local Chicos. This recipe is a gift of happy memories.<\/p>\n

Chicos fanatics help drive the cheesy fast-food favorite onto all sorts of Best Tacos lists like:<\/p>\n

Locals know that there are two camps for Chico’s Tacos – those who love the gooey comfort food and those who hate the soupy, fat\/cholesterol bomb. But those who fall into the love-it camp are addicts. It is the first stop they make when they visit town. They’ve tried to have friends ship the components in dry-ice packs, but it isn’t the same. They tried to make it on their own, but it didn’t turn out right.<\/p>\n

So, when Alley Nomi gave the Internet a recipe that captures the key combinations of savory, spicy, saucy and gooey ( including the treasured neon green salsa to top it all off), it is no wonder the fans flooded in.<\/p>\n

Another example of one of the simple pleasures of life in El Paso – the food that binds us. (Seriously, no cheese pun intended there).<\/p>\n
