anyone have a good authntic mexican food recipe?

Answer 1

Chicken Quesadillas

This is a great recipe for parties. I freeze the leftovers; they reheat quite well. The zesty chicken and cooked peppers are a succulent delight when mixed with the melted cheeses. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.

Original recipe yield: 20 servings.

Prep Time:20 Minutes
Cook Time:25 Minutes

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (1.27 ounce) packet fajita seasoning
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2 red bell peppers, chopped
1 onion, chopped
10 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon bacon bits
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the broiler.

Cut the chicken into small cubes and prepare with the fajita seasoning mix. Broil 5 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink on the inside

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Mix in the seasoned chicken, green bell peppers, red bell peppers and onion. Slowly cook and stir 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Layer 1/2 of each tortilla with Cheddar cheese, chicken mixture and desired amount of bacon bits. Top with Monterey Jack. Fold the tortillas.

Bake in the preheated oven 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

Answer 2

How about tostadas? They're cheap and delicious. All you need are corn tortillas that you have baked in the oven until hard, or maybe you can get them in places that sell Mexican groceries, they are similar to a taco shell but thicker and flat.
To prepare use a tostada, spread refried beans, then add shredded chicken breast, or beef, top with shredded lettuce, thin tomato and avocado slices, very thin onion rings (optional) grated fresh cheese and cream. For a simple salsa, in the blender put tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, salt and chiles adobados (you get them in Mexican or ethnic groceries) If you get them please use only one, they are HOT. Blend everything with a little water and cook the mixture in hot oil until it turns a dark red. This salsa lasts longer than the uncooked one. Also you can prepare "pico de gallo" which is just chopped tomato, onions, cilantro and fresh serrano or jalapeño peppers, either mixed together or separated into colors, think of it as a dry salsa.

Another good one is flautas (flutes) basically you take a corn tortilla (heat them because they do not roll well when cold and they tend to split) and fill it with strips of shredded beef or chicken, the trick is to align them in a thin line on one edge of the tortilla ajnd then roll the tortilla up into a tight thin taco, close with a toothpick and then cook in hot oil. Drain on paper towels and remove toothpick before eating. Make as many as you wish, eat with guacamole (mashed avocado with chopped tomato, cilantro, onion (jalapeño or serrano chiles) and garlic) and cream. Serve this on a bed or shredded lettuce and add tomato slices, as a side dish they fry diced potatoes and serve with the flautas. The guacamole can also be thinned with milk in a blender until you can easily pour it, but it should not be too liquid. Eat the flautas with your favorite salsa.

This is authentic Mexican. I have seen too many tex mex or southwest dishes passed off as Mexican. Believe me, this is real. It's what people call antojitos, or snacks, but are eaten as a meal. All I know is that once we get started we find it hard to stop, they are sooo delicious. The tostadas are pretty good for get togethers and you can separate everything on a buffet table and let everyone make their own combinations. Have plenty of napkins available because it is said that you do not really enjoy this unless you drip all over.

Hope you like it.
