Hello Dao,
Sorry, I can't find that particularly recipe. See below for another one. Do the sesame
seeds as you describe rather than mixing them.
Phaed
Seared Sesame Tuna With Ginger And Garlic
1/4 cup black sesame seeds
1/2 cup white sesame seeds
4 6-ounce ahi tuna steaks, 1
inch thick
4 tablespoons canola oil,
divided
Salt and freshly ground
white pepper
For the Ginger Soy Dressing:
¹/³ cup soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh
ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¹/³ cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon chopped
fresh cilantro
Salt and freshly ground
white pepper to taste
In a shallow dish, combine the two types of sesame seeds and stir to
mix.
Brush tuna with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper.
Firmly press tuna into the sesame seeds, coating evenly on all sides.
In a nonstick pan, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium high
heat until very hot. Arrange the tuna in the pan, making sure not to
crowd, and cook until the white sesame seeds start to turn golden, one
to two minutes.
Carefully turn the tuna and cook for another one to two minutes. The
tuna will be rare. If you like it more fully cooked, place it in a preheated
350-degree oven for a few minutes.
Transfer the tuna to a cutting board and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices.
In a small bowl, stir together all the dressing ingredients. Serve immediately
next to tuna.

Hello Debby,
If you mean the chili con queso dip, see below.
Phaed
Chi Chi's Chili Con Queso
1 pound Velveeta
1 4 ounces can chiles
4 ounces chopped pimentos
Tabasco sauce, to taste
half and half- equal amt. to melted cheese
Take a pound of Velveeta and melt it until it becomes stirable. I use a
microwave for this.
Combine an equal amount of half and half and mix thoroughly. Add one 4 oz
can of chilis and an equal amount of pimientos. Microwave again until the
mixture is hot. I like a little more spice so I add a dash or three of
Tabasco at this point but you do as you like. Pour into small bowls and
cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight. Don't leave
this step out. Take a bowl out and place into microwave, heat, stir and enjoy.
