Crunchy Burritos

Wed, 06 May 2009 13:50:42 -0400

A cross between a Green curry and a white chili, this recipe can be made with Salmon or chicken. -- posted by Chef #1228626

Pepián Zapoteco (Zapotec Pumpkin Seed Sauce)

Fri, 08 May 2009 11:25:10 -0400

Adapted from Saveur. This very traditional mesoamerican sauce shows the influence of Oaxaca's location on the southern coast of Mexico. Serve this sauce over baked or fried chicken. Ingredient notes: There's really no substitute for epazote, so if you can't find it, just omit it. If Mexican anise is not available, asian star anise can be substituted. Arbol chiles are hot, so you may want to protect your hands when you are removing the stems and seeds, and be careful not to wipe your eyes or mouth. You can start with canned rather than dry beans, and skip the first step. -- posted by realbirdlady

Nachos De Chili's Grill Copycat

Fri, 08 May 2009 11:43:53 -0400

Nachos cooked on tostados with beans, chili and cheese. Great for the game with cold beer. This is really good with leftover fajita meat, shredded chicken, cripy bacon, bbq brisket, pulled pork or taco meat. Another twist is subsitute chopped chipotles in adobo sauce instead of sliced jalepenos. You can always cut the tostados after pulling from oven and let guest apply thier own toppings. -- posted by sctdvdltl

New World Spaghetti Squash

Wed, 20 May 2009 02:24:01 -0400

I concocted this on getting acquainted with the taste and texture of a roasted spaghetti squash (also known as a calabash squash). It's an alternative to the idea of treating the squash as a substitute for spaghetti noodles. The roasted squash really has slaw-like texture--soft yet crunchy. Spaghetti squash is an ancient New World food source in Central and South America, so I decided to try making something that combined an ancient native trio of ingredients: corn, beans, and squash. On sampling the roasted squash by itself, my first thought was "black beans," and my second was "spicy." Here's what I did, based on what I had in my kitchen this evening. I'm sure others can improve on it! -- posted by Epyllion

Salsa to Dare the Devil.

Wed, 20 May 2009 14:26:19 -0400

We dare you to try our deliciously different salsa. Through the first weeks of the tour, the Dining Daredevils have discovered how much we have in common in the kitchen. There are no picky eaters on this team, so this daringly delightful salsa is perfect for us. Hot chiles give plenty of heat, but cherries and orange provide some sweet. Cocoa powder adds an extra twist of adventurous flavor to a salsa that sums up our "try anything" attitudes. Posted for ZWT 5 Salsa Challenge.

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

I've been making this refried beans many times for my Mexican dinner combo,sometimes I use pinto beans,sometimes I use red beans,depends on what I have in my kitchen,whatever beans I use,it's always very tasty.Before I cooked beans on the stove top,and I had to keep an eye on it all the time and add water many times in case it got burned.but now I use slow cooker which enhances the flavor big time and you can do other things while it's cooking,give it a try! -- posted by sasha's kitchen

Adzuki Bean Taco/Burrito Filling

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 19:51:07 -0400

These small red beans have a texture and flavor that approximates ground beef, in my opinion, but you could also use black beans or pinto beans in this recipe. Cooking time includes soaking the beans overnight. -- posted by Prose

Refried Lentils

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 10:02:28 -0400

Threw this together one day when I had nothing in the fridge (save condiments). Lentils cook much, much quicker than dried pintos, and have more protein and fiber. I used my mini-slow cooker, but can be made in a pot on the stove top. Makes 2 servings for a main course with tortillas or chips, 4 servings as a side. -- posted by catwolf

My son Zack named this recipe. It's my chili recipe with tiny pasta thrown in. All of the ingredients are to your preference for spiciness, beans and veggie amounts. This is how I make it for us, though. You may need to add more chicken stock the next day if you prefer some liquid with your pasta and bean bowl. -- posted by Brittta

Mexican Beef Chili

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 13:12:11 -0400

From "The Essential Rice Cookbook." This is a hearty meal that could also be used as a side. I have tried substituting pork instead of beef, but it really needs the deep flavor of red meat. Also, it isn't very spicy, so you may want to add more spice. Serve with sour cream and warm flour tortillas, or just eat it from a bowl. -- posted by Da Huz

The cool sour cream and tomatoes offset the heat of the chili. -- posted by Chef #1501865

Spicy Black Bean & Corn Tortilla Soup

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 14:35:50 -0500

This recipe is a spicy & hearty soup with a tex-mex taste. I was looking for a filling, good-enough-to-be-a-meal soup that was big on taste and light on fat/dairy. It is best when served with all the garnishes so that each bite has a slightly different mix of the fresh flavor. It can be easily modified to be vegetarian/vegan by using vegetable broth (or base) and soy cheese. -- posted by Ashleybakes

Turkey Enchilada Casserole

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:06:32 -0500

I like this as comfort food - it isn't gourmet, but it is easy to make, and I like the taste of it pretty all right, especially when I am in the mood for Mexican. The key to this recipe is getting GOOD enchilada sauce - you won't be happy with the normal, Americanized El Paso brand, etc. Go to the Mexican food aisle and get some of their sauce. Additionally, good corn tortillas are also very, very important, and the cheaper ones are rubbery (mission brands aren't good). All spice amounts are general, and should be modified to taste ( you should start with less and build the sauce up to the taste you like with these seasonings). This will be pretty mild as suggested, I would start with what is below and build from there. -- posted by larchie

Breakfast Tostadas

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 15:35:37 -0500

This is my twist on a Huevos Motulenos recipe from my Latin America (mostly Indian) cookbook. The original recipe calls for making the black beans part (Tsah Bi Bu'ul) from scratch, but I find using refried black beans is much simpler...it also calls for frozen peas (what?!?) and from-scratch Chiltomate sauce, but I personally like salsa verde better with eggs. All amounts listed for ingredients are approximate. Load up your tostada however you like it. -- posted by Chef #1534395

I have included some of Lori's favourite ingredients in this hearty soup and I hope that she and you like it. Enjoy! -- posted by Nif

Sarah's Secret Recipe Refried Beans

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 09:11:43 -0500

I have been making this recipe for years. It is a very simple recipe and it always meets rave reviews. I prefer it with bacon fat (I'm the sort of person who keeps bacon drippings in a canister in the refrigerator), but if you don't have any on hand, or want to make this recipe vegetarian, it tastes almost as good with vegetable oil. Black beans are my favorite, but you can also make this recipe with nearly any other type of canned bean. I've used pinto, kidney, cannelli and even chickpeas. Use this as a dip or a filling for burritos. -- posted by SarahCKS
