Favorite Taste at New Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Café at Disney California Adventure Park

At last, lots of new spots for dining have debuted at Disney California Adventure park! And what we love most is that quick-service dining has moved way beyond burgers and dogs.

Fiddler, Fifer Practical Café has caused lots of excitement with the announcement of Starbucks coffee drinks, but we’re just as excited about the signature sammies like a turkey Reuben, paneer and roasted vegetable, and salami with olive tapenade. And our favorite soup is this slightly spicy cheesy enchilada soup.

Have you tried this soup yet?

Serves 6 to 8

5 yellow corn tortillas, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus 2 tablespoons, divided

I suppose it would be inappropriate to request a pork dish at the Fiddler, Fifer, and Practical cafe no?

I notice the above recipe has flour as an ingredient but this soup is on the gluten free dining guide. So is this different than the soup actually in the cafe?
