  • Taco...Wednesday?

  • These were actually leftovers from a taco themed pizza I had made. This picture was a memory from a Wednesday past 😂

  • Tuna melt and carrots.

  • To be fair, there seems to be a single sandwich cut in half, and a second, much smaller sandwich made from the smaller end pieces from a round loaf. But, what do I know ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  • The yellow is substantially hotter than the green. In my opinion, the yellow tastes way better too

  • Yeah, blooming spices is a really great technique. It definitely adds a new level of complexity, and a great way to arrest the volatility of those amazing aroma compounds

    Jump

  • Yeah, you're right. Cilantro is very volatile when cooked. I usually always just add it as a fresh topping, it has so much more flavor that way. Also, if you make a crema with cilantro, the fat seems to capture all the aromatic compounds and keep them nice and vibrant for a good amount of time

  • I mostly just cook from the heart, but here's what I did:

    For the beans:

    1 no. 3 can of whole black beans

    1/2 of a white onion medium dice

    2 jalapenos medium dice

    Zest and juice of one lime

    1 tbsp of whole cumin seeds

    1 large pinch of kosher salt

    I sauted the onion with a little salt until they were soft with brown edges, then I added the jalapenos and the beans (water and all), cumin, and the remainder of the salt. I let that simmer for for a while until the liquid reduced, then I added the lime zest and juice, and used a potato masher to crush up about 50% of the beans to give a bit of textural difference.

    For the avocado crema:

    1 whole avocado

    1/2 cup sour cream

    1 medium pinch kosher salt

    Zest and juice of one lime

    2-3 tbsp water

    This one's easy, add all ingredients except water to a food processor and blend until evenly mixed, then add water until you've reached the consistency you want. That's it.

    For assembly, I put a small amount of mozzarella on the tostada and microwaved it for a few seconds to get it melty, then added beans, followed by onions and then cilantro, top with crema and add the hot sauce of your choice.

  • I agree, he should. Posting this type of hackneyed hitpiece targeting one of the few people in power attempting to make a difference in progressive politics hurts the movement more than helping anyone. You are sewing the exact division that billionaires and conservatives hope you would. Does it feel good doing their bidding?

  • Taco Saturday!

    Jump

  • It's also a very common practice in food trucks and street stalls in Southern California. That's where most of my Mexican food influence comes from.

  • The chicken is marinated in a honey chipotle marinade that was mostly just chipotles, then more of the marinade was added after shredding the chicken. There is an entire half a serrano in each taco, not to mention that the onions were pickled with serranos and are therefore spicy.

    Oh, also there's a bunch of (very hot) hot sauce directly on top of the chicken, but below the onions and cilantro.

  • Yeah, I had a couple more after these two were gone

  • My first time making a chimichanga

    Jump

  • I was using fresh oil in my deep fryer, so I fried a quartered corn tortilla to season the oil and get a good color on the chimichanga (I forgot to keep a small amount of the old oil like your supposed to). You're right though, they weren't necessary. Thanks for the compliment 🙂
