Happy New Year everyone!
I discovered this recipe a while back and it's been a long time since I made it. It's Mexican but not like I usually know it - burritos, tacos and empanadas. Admittedly I wasn't recipe browsing when I spotted Country Living's recipe for Huevos Rancheros, I was looking for interior inspiration.
Either way, the recipe looked easy and appetising - not heavy on the cheese and heartburn!
Yay or Nay: Yay
There are a lot of ingredients and a lot of steps but each one is pretty easy to do. I didn't fry the tortillas as I wanted a lighter option so I baked it. Bad move! Instead of being crispy, the tortilla was hard and chewy. I definitely want to find a better way to bake this to give the same texture as frying it.
TIP: Fry your eggs sunny side up as the oozing yolk adds to the whole experience!
TIP: Feta cheese works as well as Cotija cheese if you can't find it - I can't so I sub feta for this.
Working at a library has its pros, you can spot new books and grab 'em to check out! I always thought that you'd have all day to flick through books but I hardly have time at all! When I see a cookbook I'm all over it!
Pure Delicious caught my eye as it was a cookbook that specialised in dairy/nut/allergy/gluten free meals. The book is by a blogger called Heather Christo whose family has various allergies so she has been cooking meals that suit their needs. As I am always looking for alternatives so I figured what harm could it do to browse at home? The only danger is wanting to cook most of the meals!
Apparently, taco salad is just taco meat slopped on tortilla chips
with cheese, lettuce and salsa. That didn't put me off as Heather's version was a healthy Mexican
meal worth a try.
Yay or Nay: Yay
O.M.G. This is my new favourite meal to make. I mean the sauce, the sauce...It truly is the bomb, the mix of fresh crunchy veggies, salty chips, spicy meat with the zingy sweetness of the sauce to cut through it, is a mouthful of heaven! This version is available in the book but here are some other versions on her site.
