Yes I know a lot of different recipe's. CINCO DE MAYO CHICKEN SALAD 1 1/ 2 lb. boneless chicken breast, cubed 1/ 2 c. picante sauce 1/ 2 tsp. cumin 1/ 4 tsp. salt, optional 1/ 4 c. sour cream 2 tbsp. mayonnaise 1 avocado, chopped 1 c. sliced celery Lettuce leaves 4 crisp slices of bacon, crumbled Combine picante, cumin and salt in a skillet. Cook chicken in sauce for about 5 minutes, until cooked through. Transfer to a mixing bowl, cover and chill. To serve combine chicken mixture with sour cream and mayonnaise, add avocado and celery mixing lightly. Spoon onto lettuce-lined plates, sprinkle with bacon. Serve with additional picante. Serves 4. CINCO DE MAYO TAMALE PIE 1 lb. hamburger 1 can corn (drained) 1 can refried beans 1 jar salsa 1 c. Cheddar cheese 1 pkg corn bread Brown hamburger and drain. Mix hamburger, corn, refried beans and salsa together. Place mixture in 9 x 10 dish. Prepare corn bread mixture according to package directions. Add Cheddar cheese to corn bread mixture. Spread corn bread mixture over other ingredients. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. SPANISH RICE LIKE FROM A RESTAURANT! 1 cup rice 2 cups water 1 tablespoon tomato boullion * 2 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil This is the way to make Spanish rice just like from a Mexican restaurant. I got this recipe from my latin friend after helping with countless barbecues and parties. This is the way her family has made it for years. Heat the butter or oil in a skillet on medium heat. When hot, add rice to skillet and let get nice and toasty not burnt, have water ready and just as the rice starts giving off a toasted smell add the water to the pan. It will sizzle; as it's sizzling, add the tablespoon of tomato bouillon to the skillet and stir. Cover with a lid and let cook just like you would normally, (about 20 minutes). That is all there is to it, very simple and very easy. You could also add about a 1/ 4 cup of diced up carrots, corn or green beans if you choose to do so, while the rice is cooking. *Tomato bouillon can sometimes be found in the ethnic aisle of your local supermarket. If you can't find it there, then try a Mexican market and they should have it. SPANISH PIZZA Lebanese bread refried beans cheddar cheese, shredded spanish onion 1 clove garlic, minced sour cream guacamole tomatoes, diced olive oil taco seasoning Quantities are as desired - feel free to adapt. Prepare the Lebanese bread and spread the base with refried beans. Dice the onion, tomatoes, etc. Sauté onion briefly with garlic over high heat in a teaspoon of olive oil. Place pizza on a baking pan sprayed lightly with olive oil and top with the onion. Bake in a hot oven (450°F) until base is crisp. Top the pizza with remaining ingredients, using cheese last, and place in oven until cheese has melted and become bubbly and lightly browned. REAL SPANISH OMELET 1 small potato, sliced 1 small onion, diced 4 eggs One pinch of baking powder Salt to taste Olive oil Fry the onions and the potatoes in the olive oil until the potatoes are tender. Drain and let cool. Add the eggs, baking powder and salt and mix everything well in a bowl. Fry the mix in a medium pan with just a drop of olive oil so it doesn't stick until the eggs looked cooked but before the omelet looks too browned. SPANISH STRING BEANS 3 cans french cut string beans 2 cans tomato sauce 1 diced onion bacon 1. Mix Green Beans and Tomato Sauce in a pan. 2. Slightly fry bacon (ready cooked bacon can be used) until browned and sliced into 1/ 4 inch strips. 3. Peel and chop onion into tiny pieces. 4. Add onion and bacon to beans, stir in and simmer for 20 minutes. *** Beans can now be served. can be eaten cold or hot *** SPANISH RICE WITH CHICKEN 1 1/ 4 cup of long grain rice rinsed 6 chicken breast strips 2 cups of chicken broth 4 tsp olive oil 2 tsp cilantro 3 cloves chopped fresh garlic 1 small can of tomato sauce 1 cup frozen or canned corn red pepper (optional) 1 pkg taco seasoning mix salt & pepper Rinse rice, add only 2 teaspoon olive oil to prevent sticking, Use chicken broth instead of water. Boil, then simmer 20 minutes in a separate pan. Simmer 20 minutes; add 2 more teaspoon olive oil. Saute chicken; cook just 5 minutes turning once, then add to cooked rice mixture yuuuuuummmmmyyyyy, I no a whole lot more than that if you want to know. |
