A Unique & Yummy Salsa!

Tue, 15 Apr 2003 20:01:25 -0400

I am a a stickler for using fresh ingredients so when my boyfriend from 5 years ago made this up for the first time I cringed! Pardon me for saying so, but if I hadn't have been living with him I never would have eaten it! Hahahaha!!!! The boyfriend is long gone but this is the only salsa I'll eat! If you aren't used to cilantro it may take a few minutes to grow on you - it did me. Give it a chance though. It is seriously yummy!! -- posted by Lottidawe

Copycat Baja Fresh Salsa

Mon, 17 Jan 2005 20:01:22 -0500

Posted by request, this came from TSR. I haven't actually tried it myself, nor have I ever been to a Baja Fresh restaurant, but I've gotten pretty good results with many other TSR recipes. Note: prep and cook time are estimated, and the key points are the firm, chilled tomatoes and stem-side-down start to blackening them. -- posted by Muffin Goddess

Banana Smoothies

Tue, 17 Jan 2006 15:53:54 -0500

You can use any fresh or frozen fruit that you enjoy most, and on a hot summer day, try a little coconut rum or spiced rum to add a little kick! I always chill my glasses in the freezer before i start to make this recipe and dip the rims in colored sugar to add color to the glasses. -- posted by Chef #241096

Shrimp Ceviche

Mon, 30 Jan 2006 22:01:52 -0500

This is my twist on the traditional Mexican ceviche (which differs from that of South American cuisine). It's a very colorful and appealing appetizer dish, and is exceptionally low in calories. The shrimp is "cooked" chemically by the acid in the lime juice, rather than physically (with heat). You may substitute a good-quality white fish, such as halibut or mahi-mahi, for the shrimp, if desired. Depending on how fast and skilled you are with your knives, and whether you use fresh-squeezed or bottled lime juice, the initial prep for this ceviche can take anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes. -- posted by Chadley25

This is the way my family has made rice for at least three generations. The bacon gives it a flavor I don't find in any other Spanish Rice. This make great leftovers, it's in my 'fridge most of the time, just microwave. -- posted by Michael Boyd

Chicken Enchilada Soup

Tue, 05 Jun 2007 17:40:59 -0400

This soup is so easy to throw together and is really tasty. It gets quite a bit of heat from the enchilada sauce so be careful about adding extra spice. I serve with cheese quesadillas for a filling meal. Enjoy! -- posted by Lovin' Life

Baja Fried Fish Tacos With Spicy Cabbage Slaw

Tue, 13 May 2008 18:37:53 -0400

I love these fish tacos. You can find them in many California areas. You can either order the fish grilled or fried and because I love deep fried food, it's always fried fish for me when ordering or making them. Besides the spicy cabbage slaw I also like to top the whole thing with mounds of salsa and taco sauce. Goes great with Pacifico! -- posted by Rinshinomori

Simple to make, delicious salsa. Has been very popular everywhere I have served it. You can use fresh tomatoes if you have a garden or farmers market you use, other than that, the best consistency is with canned. -- posted by chilis n' peppers
