Mexican Jicama Salad

Sat, 09 May 2009 00:47:38 -0400

I couldn't say if this is authentic Mexican or not, but it's tasty, crisp and fresh. Basic idea came from a web site I was on about mexican cooking. Pull out your mandolin slicer or food processor to make quick work of the chopping. -- posted by magpie diner

Posted for ZWT5 from care2.com site. Interesting that it has allspice in it. Notice that you chill the dressing but not necessarily the assembled salad.

Mexican Burrito Bowl

Tue, 26 May 2009 01:47:33 -0400

We like to get burrito bowls from Chipotle, but aren't thrilled with paying for it several times a week. This isn't anything I'd claim as a "clone", but is "inspired" by Chipotle/QDoba's burrito bowls. It's tasty, easy and filling. As a bonus, it's pretty good without any meat, making it a really viable option to serve a mixed group of vegetarian/carnivores for a party. -- posted by JWynia

Spicy and not to mention healthy salad with corn and black beans that has no oil in it. I grilled corn on the cob and sliced the corn off the cob and used it instead of canned but canned can be used.

Easy Cilantro Lime Rotel Salsa

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:25:10 -0400

This salsa recipe is a my own variation of the salsa that my mother-in-law makes. I really hate store-bought salsa, so I was excited to find that she knew how to make a really easy, tasty salsa. Even though the ingredients are canned, it tastes incredibly fresh (thanks to the cilantro and lime juice.) My variation is different from my MIL's in that I added cilantro, garlic, and lime juice. Hers was still very delicious without it! -- posted by peekoos

Salsa Perfecto

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 03:15:50 -0400

A totally delicious salsa recipe that combines fresh ingredients with cooked tomatoes that gives it a fresh but very salsa-y taste. I've finally gotten the ingredients down to exact measurements! I'm required by my [extended] family to keep at least half a gallon in my house at all times. Goes great with cheese dip, on tacos, in soups, whatever! In Paris, I made this all the time, and my friends would literally drink it. Out of wine glasses. Maybe they just missed Mexican food, but I'm thinking it's because the recipe is so good! -- posted by melewen

Mexican Sangrita

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 11:44:16 -0400

A zingy way to use up the bounty of garden tomatoes and a traditional accompaniment to tequila. When you're ready for the fun, drink the tequila, follow with very cold sangrita, then lime. You can simplify the whole preparation by using canned juices, but the result won't be quite as good as when you use fresh tomatoes and fruits. Use any leftover sangrita as marinade for meat. Chilling time not included in preparation time. -- posted by Molly53

Shellie's Chunky Homemade Guacamole

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 13:15:25 -0400

This is a recipe for guacamole that I created after discovering that I actually like guacamole after 42 years! Since then, I have been making it at least once a week without fail. I am addicted! I love my recipe because I like my guacamole with some texture, spicy, and with some cilantro and lime flavors. It doesn't take long at all and I don't measure out my ingredients, so you will just have to make yours to suit your own taste. The number of avacadoes is tricky...the sizes of them vary greatly and it also depends on how much you want to make. You can add more jalapeno to make it spicier, or leave some out to make it milder. Enjoy! -- posted by Chef #1307787

Fresh Salsa, Arizona Style

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:20:38 -0400

This is a recipe from my Aunt Janice who lived in Arizona during the winters years ago. It's fresh and zappy and my family eats jars of it when we make huge batches during the summer and even the winters! NOTE: If you can't find fresh peppers or tomatoes, you can substitute canned. Just use as many canned peppers as you want. We use about 3-4 cans of diced canned tomatoes. In the summertime we freeze cilantro that we grow in our garden wrapped in a paper towel and use that in the winter instead of buying it pricey fresh. Also if it's too spicy, you can always add more tomatoes or even throw in a can of kidney beans! -- posted by Chef #771374

The below ingredients are the most basic and easiest. -- posted by Chef #1360233

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:59:15 -0400

This is a basic chicken taco filling from our Colorado Red Star Acres ranch kitchen in that can be used for tacos, enchiladas and so much more. You can easily modify this to taste and/or adapt for other uses e.g. a mexican-style chicken salad, soup, chili, etc. The spiciness can easily be adjusted to taste by the spiciness of the green chiles used. You can also add jalepenos and/or red pepper flakes during cooking to add heat. I usually double this batch and then freeze half for later. -- posted by Chef #954676

This is my own recipe. I like it, as it's a fast way to eat well and feel great... Quinoa, poblano peppers and parmesan ! Don't use kraft powder. Buy some real parmesan or, even better, Belgioioso 'American Grana' if you're in the USA -- by far one of the best "parmesan" style cheeses you can find in the states. The fact that they admit it's American, gets you over a psychological barrier, and it's just a great product.

Tomatillo Stew

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:42:08 -0400

A versatile stew base that can be switched to suit any palate. The tomatillos give this stew base a plenty of citrus flavors, so feel free to leave out the additional lime juice. The roasted poblanos provide a very subtle heat that is not at all overpowering. If more heat is desired, add a couple of chopped chipotles in adobo or 2-3 chopped serrano or jalapeño chiles. Serving Ideas: When the stew has cooked about halfway (step 4), add meat of choice: shredded roast chicken or thinly sliced boneless pork chops would be equally good. In the original version, I used 1 1/2 pounds of pre-cooked beef tongue; the richness of the meat paired quite well with the tart flavors in the stew. For a veggie version, stir in some cubed eggplant or winter squash or whatever protein substitute you like. -- posted by Hungry Hogareno

A popular Mexican sauce made of spice and chocolate. We enjoy it over enchiladas, chicken, and burritos. I some times make a double batch as this freezes very well. *Please do not leave out the chocolate as it is what makes this mole sauce.* Can be made vegetarian by using vegetable broth in place of chicken broth. -- posted by Debbwl

This recipe came to mind when I had to prepare a non-alcoholic sangria for New Year's Eve (tonight). I tried to find a recipe here, but all of them seemed to be missing something to me. (Note: cooking time is chill time) -- posted by JanieTeachGal

These are the real thing- they make a wonderful sandwich roll. Try them as a torta (a mexican grilled sandwich). The time for preparation includes the time for the dough to rise. -- posted by Napa Goat Ranch

Sopes

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:17:44 -0500

Sopes are very traditional in mexican households. The toppings range from just beans and cheese, to eggs, shredded chicken or beef, picadillo, or even just guacamole. To form the sopes you will need either a tortilla press orflat plate or the bottom of a skillet. Also, you will need plastic wrap or a small ziploc bag cut into two pieces and the zipper cut off. -- posted by Tiny_Toodles

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:44:39 -0500

My husband loves enchiladas, but I don't love all the work. I made this up with ingredients that we enjoy. I'm sure you could make many substitutions. It's very easy and my husband loved it. My 3 year old actually took a couple of bites! -- posted by VW #2

Ww Chicken Tortilla Soup Without the Tortillas

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:27:41 -0500

This is my response to craving mexican food but not being able to have the calories. This soup is very filling and low points- 6 1/2 for the whole recipe. You can control the heat of this recipe by the type of salsa you add- I usually use mild. Whatever heat you choose, it should be fresh salsa so the cilantro and other flavours are strong enough. If you really like it hot, add some chillies! I like to chop the ingredients fairly small for this recipe so you get an even flavour balance in every bite. -- posted by Shuzbud

Muir Glen Fire Roasted Salsa

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:57:57 -0500

This is a recipe that I found on the label of Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes with green chiles. It's a very simple salsa recipe and doesn't require the addition of a jalapeno pepper, but still has a kick from the chiles in the tomatoes. Cooking time is chilling time. -- posted by LARavenscroft
