"After the recipe for Crumly Cogwheels Cheesecake appeared in the Food
section April 2, several loyal fans of the former restaurant at 1200 Milam
wrote to ask for other favorite recipes, including the Tortilla Soup. It is
their most-requested recipe, said owner Paul Helm, who now operates Crumly
Cogwheels as a full-service catering company. Helm suggests adjusting the
amounts of tortillas, chicken, cheese and avocado to your personal taste."
