For some reason I am liking me some Mexican food. But not the restaurant Mexican food. The "I want to be a chef like Rick Bayless" Mexican food. After multiple failed attempts at his rather complex recipes, I have decided to just put together my own. Ingredients that I like and I think go well together, so far so good. If the boys eat it then I will keep cooking it.
Pico de Gallo
12 Campari tomatoes
1/2 large White Onion
1/2 bunch fresh Cilantro ( I like a lot of Cilantro)
1/2 to 1 large Lime
Kosher Salt
- Seed and chop tomatoes, dice onions and rough chop the cilantro
- combine all ingredients in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt
- Add the juice of the lime and chill before serving
<span>Corn and Black Bean Quesadilla</span>
1 cup frozen Corn or4-6 ears fresh corn
1/2 large Vidalia Onion
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 tsp olive oil
Kosher salt
6 flour Tortillas
1/2 cup shredded Mexican Cheese blend
- Sautee onions in olive oil and a sprinkle of salt until they start to caramelize (3-4 min.)
- Add corn and saute another 3 min.
- Add Black beans and a dash of salt until all flavors come together, 2 min
- Spoon mixture onto 1 flour tortilla and top with 2 tbsp cheese and another tortilla
- Broil until cheese is melted (1-2 min)
