Border Town Refried Beans or Bean Dip

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:46:54 -0400

This recipe makes a great dip or side dish. If making this for a dip, I highly recommend using the beer rather than chicken broth as it adds a nice, subtle flavor. Serves 4 as a side dish, many more as a dip. -- posted by swissms

Mexican Bean Burgers W/ Lime Yogurt & Salsa

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 02:31:19 -0400

I am trying to push full forced with my diet to finally reach my 100lbs lost target. So, I am collecting every low fat recipe that looks good to me and this is the latest one. I found it in the April 2009 of BBC good food magazine. The recipe says that the uncooked burgers can be frozen so they would be good to make ahead and have when I need something quick but also healthy. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Chorizo Chili

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 02:40:00 -0400

Living in Mexico I have access to great chorizo. I have made this with both the red and the green, but prefer the green. FYI the green comes from tomatillos, cilantro, and jalapeños. I buy the beans precooked on the plaza here in Chapala. I do all the chopping and dicing before I start cooking. It makes life a lot easier. The cooking time is approximate. Hope you enjoy this original recipe. -- posted by davinandkennard

Big Papa Ed's Quick and Tasty Frijoles

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 14:11:53 -0400

My Mom use to make great refied beans. She would make it from scratch and they tasted like it. Now theres no way I can eat canned refried beans, there terrible! Nowdays I don't alway have time to cook things from scratch, so from watching and cooking with my Mom I developed this recipe using canned pinto or black beans. My kids swear by it and they now refuse to eat canned refri's. -- posted by BigPapaEd in Norco, CA

You might even have a midnite craving for this cheesy and spicy mexican comfort food. My husband loves these and requests them twice weekly. See the list of toppings at bottom of recipe. You can also add shredded chicken or beef to make your meat eaters happy. Prep time is for toppings and shredding cheese. -- posted by Mamablowfish

This is my sister-in-law's recipe. It contains bacon and jalapeno. What's not to love? Everyone demands this at family gatherings.

Chilaquiles

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 16:55:52 -0400

I am so loving the resurgence in "poverty meal" recipes on the recipe circuit. Eggs are so back "in vogue" now. In our household, cackleberries (what my Dad used to call them) have never been out of style. Since moving back east I have not had a chilaquiles. When I saw this recipe in the LA Times Food & Drink Weekly Guide I got a hankering. They are going to be made this weekend (with poached eggs of course) with fire roasted canned tomatoes - just the best! Make the sauce the night before for best flavor. Besides, who needs a blender AND hot oil first thing in the am? -- posted by Buster's friend

Mexican Minestrone

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 21:05:34 -0400

With its black beans and corn, this recipe could just as easily have been called Santa Fe Minestrone. But whatever you call it, it is a sensational soup and makes a filling meatless meal. Perfect for cool days and probably even warm ones. The flavor is wonderful and it's so easy to make! This recipe comes fro m BH&G's "Better Than Mom's Slow Cooker Recipes." -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Wendy Richard's Chili Recipe - the Best Chili Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 12:13:30 -0400

Are you ready for the BEST CHILI you've ever had? Only made this because I am a HUGE fan of Wendy Richard (MBE) who played "Miss Brahms" on "Are You Being Served" and she also played Pauline Fowler on "EastEnders". She recently passed away and printed her famous chili recipe on the back of her funeral program. (You can see a photo of that in here! Check out the photos for this recipe) I've had chili all over Texas and the South - I even made both recipes from "Throwdown with Bobby Flay" (both were VERY good) but I will tell you - hands down - THIS WOMAN'S RECIPE IS THE BEST CHILI I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY WHOLE LIFE! And when I say "THE BEST" I mean: "I am SO STUFFED I might explode - but I can't STOP eating this chili because it tastes so AMAZING". Ok? I tried to put it in the freezer - and ended up taking it out 10 minutes later and eating it again. Today I had it for breakfast on eggs, and lunch and dinner! Can't wait to have more tomorrow! I'm NOT sharing this batch with ANYONE! But I will share the recipe! VERY URGENT/IMPORTANT: THE WHOLE SECRET OF THE RECIPE IS IN THE SCHWARTZ BRAND CHILI MIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Use any other brand and it will only be a 2-3 star recipe! If you are in the USA the "Schwartz" brand chili mix in this recipe can be ordered online from www.Distantbrits.co.uk or any other British food sites. PLEASE ONLY use "Schwartz" brand if you want this to come out a 5 STAR recipe- if you use any other brand, like "El Paso", "Chichi's" "Ortega" or "McCormicks" it will be disappointing because those 4 brands I just named are nothing but salt and chemicals with very little spices. I HAVE MADE THIS RECIPE WITH THOSE 4 OTHER BRANDS, JUST TO COMPARE -WHICH IS HOW I KNOW, IF YOU USE ANYTHING BUT SCHWARTZ - IT'S GOING TO BE A DISAPPOINTMENT. PLEASE TRUST ME - IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WORTH IT TO SEND AWAY FOR THE SCHWARTZ BRAND, YOU CAN GET THE SCHWARTZ CHILI MIX IN 2 DIFFERENT HEATS: MEDIUM/MILD AND HOT. I PROMISE YOU - IF YOU ORDER THE SCHWARTZ AND DON'T THINK THIS WAS A 5 STAR CHILI - SEND ME AN EMAIL AND I'LL PAY YOU BACK FOR THE COST OF BUYING THE SCHWARTZ. OK? If you can't find the British "Schwartz" brand, send the lady at distantbrits.co.uk an email requesting it. Tell her which kind of heat you want., "McCormicks" brand in the USA is very disappointing - even the "hot", it's not spicy and the taste really is missing something important. I even tried adding more cumin, and fresh Jalepeno's but McCormicks - it's just NOT AS GOOD as Schwartz, so - if using McCormick's- please know - you've been forwarned: it's not going to be a 5 star chili. If you're in the UK - you should have no problem finding this product. ALSO - careful when ordered because the recipe calls for 4 Schwartz chili. That means chili MIX - NOT 4 bottles of chili powder!!!! (I say be careful because Schwartz also makes chili powder, and you don't need 4 bottles of chili POWDER for this LOL!) I used the HOT Chili Mix, but Wendy specifed "Mild". Get whatever heat you are comfortable with. Be FOREWARNED: If ordering the "Hot" - just because it's from England doesn't mean it's not as hot as you think. While it is the most delish chili mix, It is 5 ALARM Texas hot!!!!! And this is coming from a gal who drinks "Franks Red Hot" straight out of the bottle whenever I have a craving! The mild is "mild" and also extremely delish. Menier's Chocolate is VERY hard to find if you live in the USA. I could only find 1 place online that sells it (Distantbrits.co.uk) Otherwise, use a VERY DARK (Swiss is preffered). When you open the Menier - the actual chocolate says "Nestle", so I guess you could get bittersweet or semi-sweet Nestle. Just don't use Hershey (ugh!) When it smells ready - eat it. You don't HAVE to simmer for 3 hours, as directed by Wendy. (Personally, I couldn't wait that long, it smelled too good) It even tastes amazing room temp hours later! I promise you - if you make this recipe EXACTLY as is - with NO SUBSTITUTIONS ON THE CHILI MIX (you CAN make substitutions on the chocolate)- Your tastebuds will think you've died and gone to heaven. I can see why Wendy would leave such a fantastic Chili recipe on the back of her funeral program - people were probably begging her for years for this recipe. When I make this for the next Texas chili cook-off - this WILL win 1st place - and I will give Wendy Richard all the credit since it is her recipe. Huh! Who'd have thunk the best recipe for Chili would come from ENGLAND!?????!!!!!! R.I.P. Wendy - and I thank YOU for all the years you've made me laugh and cry and for the gift of this AMAZING Chili recipe! I will be entering it into contests in your memory! I also hope all the people here will make this and enjoy it and it becomes a family favorite! -- posted by BBCFan

Bean and Sweet Potato Nachos

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:52:43 -0400

A good twist on traditional nachos, these come from Linda McCartneys World Of Vegetarian Cooking. In fact, I did not make the sweet potato part, but I did make the rest of the recipe, and really loved the tomato/bean sauce. Omitting the sweet potatoes decreases cooking time by approx 60 minutes. I used only one whole green pepper, since I had no red pepper. I also made a spicy avocado guacamole, (see notes at end of recipe), and whipped some sour cream to accompany this, we loved it. Hope you enjoy them too! -- posted by Karen Elizabeth

Chip Salad

Fri, 01 May 2009 12:11:26 -0400

This is a family tradition from my husbands family. Though it is called "Chip Salad" it is not a salad, but more like a layered tostada. For the best flavor, follow directions exactly. At least to us it is best just like this. -- posted by Chef #1235822

Rice and Beans Wraps

Mon, 04 May 2009 14:35:11 -0400

This is a favorite in our family. It's super easy to make. It's healthy. AND it travels well when you have to fit a meal into a night of sports or other kids' activities. We wrap these in foil, individually. Warm in the oven at 300F, then put into a small cooler (no ice, of course) to keep hot until ready to eat. Stow along a bag of tortillia chips too!!! -- posted by Val's Home

Psychokat's Chili

Mon, 04 May 2009 14:55:28 -0400

I am usually not a big fan of Chili but I love this Chili. I'm always being asked to make it for parties & cookouts. I usually make some and freeze it in either individual servings for my husband for lunch or family size dinners. We love to top our bowls of Chili off with some Fritos, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and of course some Texas Pete. -- posted by Psychokat

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

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.

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

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

It's so easy to make too. I'm sure you can use canned enchilada sauce, but if you do make the sauce in this recipe, it sure is tasty! -- posted by Not-a-Chef #1

Low-Fat Black Bean-Pasta Salad (Vegan)

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:42:35 -0400

This colorful creation has a lot more flavor and a lot less fat than traditional pasta salad. It's easy to throw together, and with lots of vegetables and vegetarian protein it can be served as a light entree or a hearty side dish, perfect for potlucks, picnics or packed lunches. It can easily be made gluten-free by subbing gluten-free pasta. -- posted by Prose

Bean Hotpot

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 10:01:43 -0400

This was done by Karen Martini on Better Homes and Gardens. Looks like it takes a long time but is very rich looking and worth a try. The chillies she used were long ones so not that hot I suppose; I have little birdseye ones and would probably only use one. -- posted by Chickee

Semi-Homemade Beef and Bean Burritos

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:18:38 -0400

A relatively inexpensive and quick burrito recipe I "invented" on a whim. I had never made burritos before and decided to wing it. Now I make these regularly and my friends love them! If you can find flavored tortillas, give those a try! And feel free to use spicy re-fried beans for variation. -- posted by Joseph Johnson

I have taken ingredients from about 3 different Borracho Bean recipes and made my very own recipe for Borracho Beans. My DH said they were the best he had ever eaten. (This is quite a statement, as he is usually my most critical food fan.) -- posted by Chef Howe

Vegetarian Bean and Lentil Tacos

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:27:56 -0400

I am really trying to eat less meat these days. I was looking for something quick to make but without bouncing back to cooking meat. I looked around at what I had in my cupboards and fridge and came up with these. We enjoyed the way they turned out and will for sure have them again. I suspect this would make a nice tortilla filling too. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Kick Start Your Day Breakfast Tostadas

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:29:02 -0400

Get out of the scrambled eggs rut and spice up your day with this tasty and colorful breakfast tostada. It's a crisp tortilla shell that is layered with chorizo and onions, seasoned black beans, salsa, a fried egg, cheese, avocado, sour cream, and cilantro leaves. Just have lots of napkins on hand - they are messy (and fun) to eat! -- posted by Feast Your Eyes!

Fiesta Chicken Torte

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:11:22 -0500

From Company's Coming - made it for dinner tonight and I loved it, especially since it didn't have any canned soup in it like many similar ones. The only change I made from the original is that I prefer black beans to kidney beans and I added more cumin and chili powder than this states as I like it spicier. -- posted by Cadillacgirl
