Cheesesteak may be partial to the great state of Pennsylvania, but it can pack its bags and travel elsewhere. How about closer to the border between US and Mexico, with some Tex-Mex styling to complete the classic cheese and meat. Chipotle flavors the cheese sauce, and fajita the fries, and a hint of lime perks up the succulent steak strips. A travelling cheesesteak makes new friends and has new adventures!
