What's a Besito?

The Truck Farm - Thursday, April 14, 2011

Much like the Cherry A’More, folks wonder about the name Besito Caliente.  Where did we get it from, what does it mean, how do you pronounce it?  Well, the name comes from a naming contest we held in 2000 where the person who came up with the best name got a free case of “Fire Berry” as we were referring to it at the time.  Many names were suggested, but Besito Caliente, meaning a hot little kiss, seemed to be the best fit for our new sauce.  As for how to pronounce it, spelled out phonetically it is ba-see-toe  cah-lee-en-tay. 

Besito Caliente Torte

1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup Besito Caliente

¼ cup Cream
1 pkg.  flour tortillas

Mix together above ingredients.  Coat flour tortillas (or crepes) with the mixture and stack 10-12 high.  Wrap stack and chill 1-2 hours or overnight.  Before serving, dribble chocolate syrup over the top of the torte (chocolate is optional).  Cut into bite size servings and put out with toothpicks.
