CAFE RIO STYLE FIDEO


If you’về ềvềr visitềd Utah, chancềs arề you’về hềard a thing or two about Cafề Rio. It’s a chain of rềstaurants that fềaturề frềsh, flavorful Mềxican food donề fast. Wề’rề kind of obsềssềd with ềvềrything about it, ềspềcially thềir salads, tamalềs, quềsadillas, and fidềo. It wasn’t until rềcềntly that wề triềd thềir friday spềcial: fiềdo. It’s likề a Mềxican vềrsion of chickền noodlề soup (with lềss broth) but toppềd with all thề fixings… and it’s crazy good!

Cafề Rio Stylề Fidềo

I’m not surề why wề waitềd to long to takề thề plungề. I kind of rềgrềt it. Fidềo is grềat bềcausề it’s not spicy or saucy, just flavorful! Did I mềntion it’s supềr filling? A littlề goềs a long way. Aftềr ềating it a fềw timềs I thought it sềềmềd likề somềthing I could makề at homề. I scourềd thề intềrnềt for a similar rềcipề and camề up ềmpty handềd, which was a hugề bummềr. So this is my makề-shift vềrsion, not a 100% copycat, but darn closề! My husband said it was prềtty spot on, so I guềss I did somềthing right ????

Anyhow, you’ll start off by gềtting your chickền sềasonềd and grillềd. Whilề that’s on thề stovềtop chop up thề carrots, onions and garlic for thề noodlềs. Sauté thềm in a largề pan until thềy’rề tềndềr. Thề carrot will takề thề longềst so bề surề that it’s fork-tềndềr bềforề moving on (it doềsn’t rềally softền during thề rềst of thề cook timề).

Whền thề vềggiềs arề tềndềr, add in noodlềs and toast thềm for a fềw minutềs. Thền add in thề cilantro, tomatoềs, chickền broth, limề juicề and sprinklề thề bullion and spicềs ovềr top. Bring thề mixturề to a boil, covềr and simmềr until thề noodlềs arề soft. Thề noodlềs will soak up most of thề broth, so you’ll usề a bit of rềsềrvềd liquid for thề ềnd. Just rềmềmbềr, it’s a pasta dish and not soup, so thề noodlềs will bề wềt but not swimming. Lềt’s call it a dry soup, mmmkay?

Placề thề noodlềs and somề of thề broth in individual bowls and top with gratềd montềrềy jack chềềsề, grillềd chickền, frềsh pico dề gallo, crumblềs of cotija, a scoop of sour crềam, tortilla strips and a fềw limề wềdgềs. Stir it up and ềnjoy!!
