i raise the all might bacon

Favorite: enchiladas (mexican food) .
I don't like mayonnaise Dx

And here, we eat a lot of sweet bread:

I found this yesterday Yummy

Wow those bread things look amazing. I love bread stuffs. Or anything from the bakery really (like pastries and such). Making me hungry just thinking about it! lol

I promise, if someday you come to Mexico, I make enchiladas and buy bread for everyone!

I like Mexican food but sadly have not had the chance to have real, authentic Mexican food. Maybe some day.

Pupusas!

I've been making these about a month now buy still trying to perfect it, it's basically a stuffed corn tortilla. I use corn flour (I use Maseca which is a perfect mix for corn tortillas/pupusas (2 cups)) and I mix it with 2 cups of water into a bowl. Mix it around with your hands till it has a wet dough consistency. It might take you a few tries to get it right but just add more flour if too wet or more water if too dry. You are just going to have to try and fail a few times before you can get it right like I have.

You can make a filling out of anything that you think would taste good. The simplest one you can make is out of shredded cheese. The more traditional ones have in them a Chicharrón (fried pork rinds) mix or Frijoles Refritos (re-fried black beans) in them. I made up a mix with tuna, shredded cheese and oregano that turned out pretty good but that's only if your into the whole "listening to me" thing.

To cook the pupusa, heat up a griddle or a nonstick pan on med-high heat beforehand. Pour a bit of oil in the pan just to make sure the Pupusas don't stick.



To shape them into discs you can use two methods:


1) You roll it in your hands to make a small dough ball and then proceed to slap it around between both hands till you get a flat round one inch disc.


2) Or you can buy a goddamn tortilla press. (which flattens them even and quickly)



I use the first method because I don't have a press and it's to expensive to buy one. Making it by hand is one of those things that is anyone can do but it takes practice to master. After you have flatted it out, put it in the pan and griddle and leave roughly 50 seconds on each side. It should be eaten IMMEDIATELY (or give it a second to cool. Do whatever you want, I'm not your mother)


It's usually served with this cabbage slaw and a really thin tomato sauce on top


Slaw recipe I use:

I've never made the tomato sauce so you'll have to find a recipe yourself!




Here is a picture of the finished product:









Try it yourself. It's good eats.

I haven't heard about pupusas before, but I'll try to make some soon.
Thanks!

I want to try melon bread, it sounds good.

The recipe I'm about to give is beautiful in its simplicity and it makes a good side dish.

Spinach and cannellini beans

What you'll need:

1-2 cloves of garlic (depending on how much you like garlic)
1 bag of fresh spinach ~12 oz
1 can of cannellini beans

Step 1: chop up the garlic into small pieces
Step 2: wash the spinach if necessary
Step 3: Drain the cannellini beans
Step 4: Put garlic, cannellini beans, and as much spinach as will fit into a frying pan (you probably won't be able to put the whole bag in at first but spinach cooks down a lot so you will use it all).
Step 5: Cook on medium to medium-high heat stirring so as to get uncooked spinach to the bottom of the pan. Add more spinach as space becomes available.
Step 6: When all the spinach is thoroughly cooked (it will look like spinach from a can at this point) you're done!

Makes ~3-5 servings

Hm that spinach recipe sounds like it would be pretty good. I'll have to try it sometime soon.

You and me both.

Mashed potato pizza. Its exactly how it sounds.

Pretty much any food that isn't already on pizza and covered in cheese should be. Can't go wrong.

Had a pizza with potatoes cut on top of it. Wasn't half bad.

pizza and perogies for dinner

I'd really be surprised if you guys didn't already know about this but I'm posting it anyway!
