Title says it. My wife really digs Mexican food, but it seems like the top hits on Google always lead me to "Oh, add a touch of Crème Fraîche" or other weird food-y stuff. She just tends to like the regular stuff. For example,
-
For a treat I made her tamales from scratch a few months back -- chicken slow roasted in adobo and stock, packed into masa, wrapped in corn and steamed. We had more dough than stuff, so I made a few more using Oaxaca cheese and beans.
-
We enjoy having our own refried beans. They're just pinto beans simmered for a few hours with garlic and salt. Mash and enjoy.
-
I made "Mexican" toast the other day to use up some stuff we had in the fridge, so basically it was toast brushed with a mayo/egg mixture, re-toasted, and I dropped a spoonful of refried beans, cheese and a blorp of salsa. It was pretty good.
OK so I just watched a video about making tortillas without a press. The lady just made dough balls and mushed the ball under a cutting board. See, that's the kind of stuff we want, just plain stuff someone would have as leftovers, not a big fancy-pants dinner.
