I bet they are deerlicious! We actually call our moose burritos, "moo burritos", but I knew folks wouldn't understand that term, nor our "boo burritos" (caribou).
Cant use Lard in a Muslim country here - so that is out - what can I use instead?
I love being a copycat. thanks!
FOOD PING....
Yummy Mexican food.
I love these threads. They're hard to read while stuck at work for 12 hours, though.
Not to be too picky, but that is the wrong request. The way we fix (Tex) Mexican food in San Antonio is a lot different than they do in El Paso. Then again, they're closer to the real thing. :-)
Calabacita con Pollo
Rita Fischer contributed this recipe to a cookbook I use from time to time. It's her Mexican Grandmother's recipe. If she were still around, Grandma would be something over a hundred years old. So, I guess it qualifies as authentic. And, best of all, it sure is good.
4 small chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin seed, crushed
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1 small white onion, chopped
kernels from 2 fresh ears of corn on the cob of 1.5 cups frozen corn (fresh is best, if you can get it)
1 large pattypan squash or 2 medium zucchini
1 10 oz can diced tomatoes with roasted garlic
.5-1 cup water
salt and pepper
Cut chicken breasts into bite size pieces. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large skillet. Saute chicken with half of the cumin seed and half of the garlic until brown. Add onion halfway through browning. While chicken is browning, remove corn from cob and dice squash. When chicken is browned, add remaining incgredients, including enough water to achieve desired consistency. Cover pan and simmer until squash and corn are tender.

Where will you get the tortillas?
If you want to improvise, toss in hot peppers to taste. I do.
I do to, and thankfully my workspace has a stove, frig, freezer and INGREDIENTS! LOL (I'm a homemaker and love to cook for my men)
Kopycat! ;-)
Sounds yummy. Now i have a recipe for the next time my produce co-op orders pattypan squash.
Sounds good! I'll share this with my daughter-in-love. Her family lives in San Antonio.
Hiya Joe! I'm invisible as we speak. LOL
I surprise a lot of people overseas when I explain to them that fajitas are not Mexican food. They are from Texas.
Believe it or not, but tortillas (without lard) are imported here from California I believe - both corn and flour -
meowwww.... ;)
I can't see you.
I can't see you, but I can see what you are saying.
Diana Kennedy's cookbooks are excellent. Cuisines of Mexico or My Mexico, especially. Be prepared, however - this is not Tex-Mex.
Dang, I'm good, ain't I? Have litter box and NO one wants to even GO there. ;)
Manteca
You can see what I'm saying? Guess I'd better catapult myself elsewhere. ;)
