Potatoes with jalapeños and cheese rolled in a corn tortilla and fried till crispy.

55 min | 30 min prep
SERVES 4

• 2 whole jalapeno peppers (or 1 depending on heat)
• 12 Corn Tortillas
• 2 cups boiled potatoes (or mashed or any left over soft skillet potato leftovers)
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (your favorite kind)
• 1/4 cup fresh Cilantro, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup Onion, finely chopped
• Cooking oil (enough to lightly fry)

• 1. Chop jalapeño peppers finely.
• Chop cilantro.
• Boil potatoes till easy to mash but still a little firm.
• Mash potatoes and add jalapeños, taco seasoning, onion, cilantro and cheese together.
• Prepare tortillas by fast steaming so they are easy to roll. I usually boil water in a small pot a little smaller than the tortilla's then place a double paper towel on top and place one tortilla at a time for 2 or 3 seconds till steamed, then remove and replace as you go.
• Take a steamed tortilla and spoon about 1 tablespoon of potato mixture in and roll gently. Place in baking dish with the rolled side down. Continue doing this lining them up in dish as you go.
• Place in freezer for 15 minutes or until they become slightly stiff. I like this method better than toothpicks.
• Heat oil on medium heat (I usually use olive oil).
• When oil is ready, place 4 tacos at a time with the rolled side down in pan.
• Flip to other side when brown.
• Remove and drain on paper towels.
• Garnish as desired. (Thinly sliced Salad, Chunky Salsa, Avacado)
• 13. I use sour cream mixed with taco sauce drizzled over the top

• From the Senior Pico restaurant in Los Angeles.

• 1. Rinse the chiles and discard the seeds.
• 2. Insert 1 strip of Jack and 1 strip Cheddar cheese in each chile, cutting a slit in one side of the chiles.
• 3. Dust the chiles with flour.
• 4. Beat egg whites until stiff.
• 5. Beat egg yolks and fold into whites.
• 6. Add melted butter (should not be hot) to the egg mixture.

Get a premade pizza crust (like Boboli) or if you're watching carbs or calories, a nice lavash flatbread. Pile on about 2" high of baby spinach. Drizzle with pesto, top with grated mozarella and shredded parmesan or romano. Bake at 425 till cheese bubbles and begins to brown. These are addicting and you can modify it by adding whatever you like...but try it as is first.

If you don't have a pesto recipe, here's a quick & easy one:

2-3 cups fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
3-4 cloves fresh crushed garlic,
salt to taste
optional: 1/4 to 1/2 cup of pinons or walnuts
Blend until smooth

Marc Goff's Natural Dressing

1/4 C Braggs Liquid Aminos
1/4 C Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 C Lemon juice
1/2 C Olive oil
4 Garlic cloves

Crush Garlic and mix with all the other ingredients.

One of my favorite meals at my in-laws is their homemade veggie burgers. I finally had the nerve one day to ask them for the recipe and was able to test it out on my own, exchanging a few ingredients and such. After a few requests from friends for this recipe, I figured I would share it here on my blog. Enjoy!
Ingredients

• 1 can of Worthington or Loma Linda Veggie Burger
• 1 Large Onion (finely chopped)
• 4 Eggs
• 1 cup Oats
• 1/3 cup Flour
• 1/4 cup Pecan Meal (optional for those allergic to nuts)
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/8 tsp Sage
• 1/8 tsp Oregano
• 1/8 tsp Marjoram
• 1/8 tsp Rosemary

Danny’s Masa Recipe for Tamales

5 lbs. Fresh Masa
1.5 cup Veg. Shortening

1/4 cup Chili Powder
2 cups Broth or Water ( I used Veg Broth)
1/8 cup Baking Powder
1/8 cup Garlic Powder (Optional)
Place masa in large bowl, break into pieces. Set aside. Melt shortening on low heat; add chili
powder, salt and mix. Stir together broth, baking powder and garlic powder. Gradually combine broth and
shortening mixture to masa. Mix well after each addition. Masa should be smooth. Let masa rest 10 minutes.
Spread fast and easy using a wide putty knife. Add your favorite filling and steam cook for 1

Sopaipillas

4 Cup Flour
2 Teaspoon Sugar
1/4 Cup Shortening
1 Tablespoon Baking powder
1−1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 1/4 Cup Water or more if needed
Sift dry ingredients together. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Add water
and mix until holds together. Knead 10−15 times until dough forms a smooth
ball. Cover and let set for 20 minutes. Divide dough into two parts. Roll
dough to 1/8" thickness on lightly floured board. Cut into 3" squares or
triangles. Do not allow to dry; cover those waiting to be fried. When ready
to fry, turn upside down so that surface on bottom while resting is on top
when frying. Fry in 3" hot oil until golden brown, turning once. Add only a
few at a time to maintain proper temperature. Drain on paper towels

Migas (Scrambled Eggs with Corn Tortillas)
by Lisa Schroeder, Danielle Centoni

Serves four.
4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, preferably clarified
1 small to medium yellow onion, finely diced (3/4 cup)
3/4 cup finely diced bell peppers (preferably a mixture of green and red)
4 (6-inch) corn tortillas cut into long, narrow strips (1 cup)
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
12 large eggs, beaten
1-1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or pepper Jack cheese
1/2 cup Chipotle Sour Cream (optional)
1/2 cup Salsa
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, (white and green parts)
Place a large (12- to 14-inch), nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat for several minutes.
Add the butter, onions, and peppers, and sauté, stirring now and then, for about 2 minutes or
until softened. Add the tortillas and continue to cook, stirring now and then, until they start to get
slightly golden and the onions begin to caramelize, 3 to 5 minutes more. Season with the salt and
pepper.
Pour the eggs into the onion-tortilla mixture and cook, stirring occasionally with a heatproof
rubber spatula, until the eggs are almost fully cooked but still a little wet (though not liquidy).
Add the cheese and stir to combine and finish cooking the eggs (don’t add the cheese too soon or
it will make the eggs runny).

Olive Garden Alfredo Pasta
(from Top Secret Restaurant Recipes) that includes more grated Parmesan cheese and fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. You'll find this sauce thickens easier and has an improved Olive Garden taste. Just be sure not to crank the heat up too high when simmering the sauce or it could break, resulted in a not-so-creamy, curdled Alfredo.    1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 cups heavy cream 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper pinch salt 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 12-ounce box fettuccine pasta      (or your choice of pasta)
1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat. 2. Add the garlic, cream, pepper and salt, and bring mixture to a simmer. Turn the heat down if the mixture reaches a rapid boil or it could boil over. You just want a simmer. Add the cheese, and continue to simmer sauce for 8 minutes or until thick. 3. While sauce cooks, bring 4 to 6 quarts of water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook pasta for about 12 minutes or until done, then drain it. 4. Spoon pasta onto serving plates with Alfredo sauce poured over the top.

Papusas (Salvadoran)
Yield: 6 Papusas

 
Dough Ingredients:
    2 c  masa harina
    1 1/2 c  warm water
    1 tb ground cumin
    salt and pepper
     
Filling Ingredients:
     1 c cooked black beans
    1 tbs Mexican chili powder (or to taste)
    1/2 tsp cumin powder
    1/4 tsp garlic powder
Sprinkle of Cheese

Note: You can fill these with just about anything, Meats, Cheese & Beans, Cheese & Jalapenos, Cheese, Rice, Green Chili’s)
 
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, mix together the masa harina, water, cumin, and 1/2 tsp. salt and stir into a manageable dough. The dough should be soft but not sticky; add more flour if needed. If dough is dry and hard to form, add more water.
To make 3-inch round papusas, put about 1/2 cup of the dough in your hand for each papusa. Roll into a ball and flatten in your hand. Put 1/3 cup beans, and salt and pepper to taste in the center. Work the edges up over the filling and again form a ball, completely enclosing the fillling.
This takes only a few seconds. Flatten each ball to about 1/4-inch or less and cook the papusas on a hot, lightly oiled griddle for about 3 minutes per side, or until both sides are lightly browned. Serve warm.
Makes 6 papusas. Yum!
