Well, after three weeks of posting other people's recipes, I'm back with one of my own. It was a lot of fun cooking dishes that had already gone through the testing process and learning more about cooking in general (and
Mexican Style Carne Asada - Arrachera, or skirt steak marinated with lime and garlic and then quickly grilled over high heat served with a stack of hot tortillas and a bold salsa.
Flour or corn tortillas are filled with Manchego cheese, avocado chunks and jalapeno slices, then heated in a skillet and cut into wedges to make an easy snack.
If you have never heard of these, think of jalapeno poppers taken to a whole new level. See, these are poppers on steroids. Well, not really, but they are wrapped in delicious pork.
Corn is grilled and seasoned with green onions and cayenne sauce in these tasty spiced flapjacks. The grilled corn fritters make an ideal base to this salad stacked with alternating layers of tomato slices and arugula dressed in a red wine vinaigrette.
Steak Enchiladas made with thinly sliced steak, sauteed with onions and peppers, and topped with delicious jalapeno cilantro cream sauce and lots of cheese!
I found these in a magazine, and just had to try them. They are really different and very good! The kids were wild about these. Try adding a dab of pineapple, or apricot jam.
