Ethnic Cuisine

Of course I use the term "authentic" cautiously here. I'm speaking of the Mexican restaurants in America (you know, the ones that are always "El Something"), which I'm hopelessly addicted to.

What's the secret to their cooking? When I make burritos at home they don't even come close. By comparison everything I make is very... Dry? For lack of a better term. The ground beef is in large chunks and not as moist, there are no good sauces integrated into the dish, the tortilla is dry. Pretty much everything I cook ends up tasting like a taco kit without the taco kit.

I would love to be able to cook Mexican food as you get it in the restaurants. Moist meat, lots of sauce, lots of intermingling of the ingredients and flavors. How do you do it? Do I need to boil the meat? Drench everything in special sauces? I'm all ears here.

I can hardly find the mix in our grocery stores and there are no local takeout restaurants. My son & I love it (actually more of a craving for me) and we like to eat it at least every other day. Just the plain, egg drop soup recipe, please!

I've heard you can make naan from the Pillsbury crescent rolls that pop out of the paper container when you whack it on the calendar. Anyone ever tried?

Can anyone tell me what this is called? It is some sort of "pocket dough", it is red on the outside, and it contains meat on the inside. I thought that it was called a cuban panini, but when I looked at the reciepe, it is not what I am looking for. It was not spicy or anything, it had a really good taste. Can anyone tell me what it was? I got it from a little store in Florida that was ran by spanish people, if that helps. Please, can someone tell me what it is called so I can find a reciepe? Thanks in advance!
