Re: Mexican Food Recipes

You have to know how to cook Migas if you live in Texas.

MIGAS

Cook bacon or sausage, break in pieces, drain and set aside.

5 corn tortillas
5 eggs
1/4 c. butter
Salt to taste
1 Can Rotel
grated cheese

Tear tortillas into small bits. Melt butter in skillet and drop in tortilla bits. Stir, being sure to coat all bits with butter and let them soft fry. Whip eggs in small bowl and pour over tortillas, stirring to scramble. Add salt, Mix in Rotel, bacon or sausage and Rotel. Cover with cheese.

Serve with Refried Beans


I don't usually go to this kind of trouble with Migas, but you can use these refresher ingredients instead of the Rotel. If we make Migas, it's because we are serving a lot of people and in a hurry.

1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
2 tablespoons chopped green chiles
1 medium tomato, seeds and pulp removed, chopped
1/2 cup chopped avocado, sprinkled with a little lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro

Re: Mexican Food Recipes

Finally found this recipe. This is really, really, good.

Baked Chicken and Spinach Flautas

Ingredients


1 pound boneless, skinless Chicken Thighs (about 4)
16 ounces Beer (or chicken broth)
2 cups Water
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon ground Cumin
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
1 Jalapeno Pepper, minced
3 cups Baby Spinach, chopped
5 burrito-size Flour Tortillas (9 inches)
6 ounces Queso Quesadilla or other melting cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon Olive Oil, or cooking spray
Salsa, for serving

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 450*F.
Put the chicken thighs in a deep sided saute pan and cover with the beer and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the liquid and shred it. Mix together the chicken and seasonings.
Pour out all but ¼ cup of the cooking liquid. Add the jalapeno and spinach and cook over low heat until for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
Cut the tortillas in half. Spoon 1/10th of the chicken (about 1 tablespoon) along the long edge of a tortilla. Repeat with the spinach and cheese. Roll the tortilla up, starting with the straight edge. Place seam-side down on an oiled baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Brush the flautas with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn them over and bake for until 10 minutes, or until crispy. Serve with salsa.

Re: Mexican Food Recipes

This is an old recipe my sister gave me from her Weight Watcher's cookbook.

Since my husband really likes this recipe, I still use it. It is easy and you can put some chicken in the freezer and use it later for this recipe if you are needing a recipe in a pinch. You could even pick up a Rotisserie chicken.

Chicken Tacos

1 T + 1 t oil
1 cup sliced onion
3 garlic cloves
2 medium tomatoes
1 cup tomato sauce
1/8 t. each - hot sauce, oregano leaves, salt and pepper
8 oz skinned and boned cooked chicken, diced
4 taco shells
2 oz Cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup shredded lettuce

In 9 or 10 inch skillet heat oil; add onion and garlic and saute until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomato, tomato sauce, and seasonings and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes; add chicken and cook until heated through. Divide chicken mixture into taco shells; top each portion with cheese and lettuce.

Re: Mexican Food Recipes

Easy, peasy. I normally use my iron skillets when I do Mexican food.

Chicken Fajitas

Chicken Breast tenders
salt and pepper to taste
1 whole onion sliced
1 red bell pepper
2 or three large jalapeno peppers, seeded, and pulp removed (You can leave it if you want it really hot)
Coconut oil

Combine all in Coconut oil, cook until chicken is how you like it. We like ours to be pretty brown in appearance.

Serve it with sour cream, grated cheese, Pico de Gallo on flour or corn tortillas

My husband loves ketchup

These are the salsa recipes I use

Fresh Mexican Salsa

8 large tomatoes, coarsely diced
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 T chopped parsley
2 T chopped cilantro
1/4 - 2 tsp. chopped jalepano

Salsa
10-20 Serrano peppers (seeded and chopped)
1/2 tsp. salt
3 medium tomatoes, diced
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 white onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 large bunch of cilantro
1 - 2 T crushed red pepper
1 14 oz can crushed tomatoes

In a blender combine canned tomatoes and a portion of the cilantro (1/3 to 1/2). Don't use the stems. Pour into a glass bowl and add the remaining chopped cilantro. Mix all other ingredients, except the red pepper. Toast the crushed red pepper in a pan until it barely smokes, then add it as well.

Didn't get to the Enchiladas yet. I'll do that tomorrow. I wish I could go back and correct my typos. I had too much going on today and didn't slow down to check. Oh well, you'll know what I meant.

Let me know which ones you liked and what you might have done to modify anything. Too much cheese to cook one every day though.
