Why Do People Congratulate Women

Burritos, tacos & co.


Una cena messicana. Quante volte avete pensato di andare al ristorante messicano e magari vi siete fatti trattere?

Let's see if I like?!
They told me that it is expensive!
Yes, but you must choose the one where they cook well.

I tried it, the last time with Rosy and, unlike in Japan where we were a little disappointed , the Mexican we liked so much! Tasty, tasty, spicy, just right, but not too alternative. Again Rosy and I thought we replicate at home, but this time not to make up for a spore does not like it, but groped to repeat the experience convincing.

I tried to do a bit of clarity, not well acquainted with the difference between the various dishes. In the end I decided to do my own thing, I did not follow any particular recipe, but several general indication. I followed my palate, by adding or removing according to my tastes. So, as always when I propose that international dishes, I want to stress that this is my version.


Burritos
consists of a flour tortilla filled with beef , chicken or pork. The meat is usually the only filling. The burrito is then closed so that it is subtle. In the United States, however, the filling includes other ingredients such as rice, fagioli, lattuga, pomodori, salsa, guacamole, formaggio e quindi le dimensioni del burrito aumentano considerevolmente. La tortilla di farina viene solitamente grigliata leggermente, in modo da renderla più morbida e flessibile. (Fonte wikipedia)

6 tortillas
500 gr pollo a cubetti
1 peperone
1 grossa cipolla
1 cucchiaino di concentrato di pomodoro
2 grossi pomodori
1/2 barattolo di fagioli rossi precotti
150 gr di formaggi grattuggiati (io ho fatto un mix di fontina, provola piccante ed emmental)
mix di spezie per tacos e burritos (ho usato quelle Cannamela, che contengono peperoncino, cumino, paprika, aglio, cipolla, pepe nero e origano)
pomodorini q.b.

Far rosolare nel wok (io ho usato il wok della Illa Design ) il peperone con la cipolla e il pomodoro tagliati a fettine sottili. Far cuocere 10 minuti, aggiungere il concentrato di pomodoro e le spezie. Far cuocere e poi frullare legegrmente con il mixer ad immersione, lasciando dei pezzi grossi. Aggiungere i fagioli rossi e far insaporire. A parte, rosolare la carne di pollo, sgranandola bene con il cucchiaio di legno. Farla cuocere bene e poi unire la salsa al peperone. Con questo condimento, farcire le tortillas, dopo averle riscaldate un pò per ammorbidirle. Guarnire con il formaggio grattuggiato, del pomodoro e qualche fettina di avocado. Chiudere a fagottino e scaldare in forno per 5 minuti prima di servire.



Tacos
Sono delle tortillas piegate su loro stesse, fatte con farina di mais, contenenti condimenti di vari tipi. Esistono due tipi di taco ben distinti. Il taco tradizionale messicano utilizza tortilla di mais morbide, unte nel sugo del ripieno e scaldate brevemente, mentre il taco tex mex usa tortillas fritte al punto di essere croccanti.

6 tortillas
500 gr manzo tritato
1 peperone
1 grossa cipolla
1 cucchiaino di concentrato di pomodoro
2 grossi pomodori
1/2 barattolo di fagioli rossi precotti
150 gr di formaggi grattuggiati (io ho fatto un mix di fontina, provola piccante ed emmental)
mix di spezie per tacos e burritos (ho usato quelle Cannamela, che contengono peperoncino, cumino, paprika, aglio, cipolla, pepe nero e origano)
pomodorini q.b.
avocado q.b

Il condimento e il procedimento che ho seguito è lo stesso dei burritos, invece del pollo ho usato il manzo tritato e ho aggiunto qualche slices of avocado. The tacos should be closed in the middle, like flatbread



Guacamole

It 's a sauce made with avocado, which accompanied the various dishes.

This guacamole recipe I followed my friend's Silvia , I found it delicious!
3 avocados 3 limes
20 cherry tomatoes 3 green onions
2 fresh red chillies (I used a bit of spice mix for tacos and burritos)
1 bunch coriander salt and pepper

Wash and cut tomatoes. Cut the onion in small cubes, preferably fresh ones that are softer, it is important to salt away so that the onion remains sweet. Wash and dry the cilantro and sliced \u200b\u200bthin. Wash peppers and deprive the seeds. Cut into thin slices.
Cut avocados in half and remove the core. Remove the skin and cut into cubes without crushing them too, pouring the juice of 1 lime. Add all ingredients. Put salt and pepper and gradually add the lime. Season with salt. An important recommendation, do not blend the sauce, but slowly crushed with a fork, so that they remain pieces of avocado enough large, at least, if they are a bit 'too hard to be crushed by a fork, you can help with a potato masher. (I have beaten the ripe avacado with a fork while I shake the onion and tomato in a blender. I also added little grated lime zest)




Nachos
E 'a tasty snacks and delicious, made with fried tortillas and melted cheese. Having failed to find a recipe convincing (and even the corn flour suitable, not to be confused with maize flour), I bought the tortillas in the supermarket, like those sold chips. The important thing is that corn.

Spread the bottom of a pan fried tortillas, create a layer of grated cheese (my usual mix of provolone, fontina and Emmental), cover with other tortillas and more cheese. Warm until all the cheese has melted. Serve with hot chili sauce, chili pepper (my favorite) and sour cream. Or dipped in guacamole!
