The pure delight of the southwest flavors can't be confined to one kind of meal. Indeed, we aren't ones for that kind of culinary snobbery around here; we're strictly about the flavor. And the flavor is here, with a rich butter mixed with fajita seasonings being melted over a perfectly tender steak. The gratin will make your taste buds sing: a bit of hatch chile mixed in with melty cheese and potatoes? South by Southwest, indeed.
