stuffed jalapeños

stuffed jalapeños with mexican ground beef, cream cheese and sharp cheddar cheese. in the oven on aluminum foil for thirtyish minutes. all i can say is yummmmmm.

what happens to corn tortillas in the crockpot?

yeah, mooosh! that's what happens. good moosh, but moosh, nonetheless. chicken enchiladas with black olive, jalapenos and a lot of cheese. maybe i can cut back on the cooking time.

chicken enchiladas (cinco de mayo style)

chicken enchiladas in the crockpot!!! yay! let's see, i boiled the chicken in water with a whole lotta spices (pepper corns, bay leaves, onions and garlic). shred the chicken and assemble with sour cream, tortillas (corn or flour), rotel, and cheese in two equal layers. crockpot it for like four hours. so easy, so yum!

flameeng chiz

we sometimes frequent local eateries in an attempt to enjoy a "night on the town" so to speak. we did just that a little while ago and were inspired to create our own el fenix ap in the privacy of our own couch.

inspired by el fenix, i present for your viewing/noshing pleasure: zee flameeng chiz! mexican melting cheese and chorizo sausage served with (what else?) chips (g-f). actually, you could use flour or corn (g-f) tortillas which is nice as well if slightly more messy- you will not believe the grease that comes off the sausage! even after draining! yowza!). the meat and schiz were purchased at a little place i like to call sprouts.

on a g-f note, the waiter was super helpful with my "dietary needs.*" he checked the seasoning for the steak and something else that i ate and it was all wonderful and non-reacty.

*i don't really know why "dietary needs" is in quotes. i felt it needed quotes.

tacos

regular tacos with ground beef, avacado, black olives, cheese, salsa (because people like to say salsa!) and one ugly kitsch-y slash unbreakable plate.

guac

fajitas

chicken and skirt steak on the grill. they were resting here- i wrap the steak in aluminium foil and the chicken just on a plate (not as juicy) in the oven with the tortillas. speaking of which save the steak juice to add to the mushrooms and onions.

we had tortillas, mushrooms and onions, sour cream, salsa, guacamole.... black beans and rice.
