I love cooking. My past mate was vegetarian so I got really niffty at creating some tasty meals.

Soy Tacos :

Small Tortillas
Con zafron packet: cilantro y tomato
4 chopped Garlic
1/2 chopped onion
Cilantro
Olive oil
1/2 cup of soy
1 1/2 cup water

Mix your soy in a pot first with the water. After it getts fluffy put it into your next pan. A large non stick frying pan. Add your Olive oil, butter if you like 1tbsp, cilantro, garlic, and onions as it Cooks continue to stir. Literally Cooks in about 15 minutes.

Once you get good you can try enchiladas, bbq sloppy soy , etc. :blush:

Fresh Homemade Stuffed Jalapeño Burgers
Using a large bowl add ~
Using gr chicken pork n beef mixed together. ratio Chicken n pork = 1 lb. Each to 1/3 lb beef all high quality n lean
Can make ahead n freeze these.

ADD a little Mexican Crema or sour cream to meat it makes so good not much

2 squirts of lime juice

6 to 7 roasted gr. chilies - fresh - chop. I roast a lot of chiles n freeze them - using them in many other recipes * Make my own gr. chile sauce n freeze it also.

kosher salt - little garlic granular - black pepper - mix well form patties to size U like. Sometimes ai add a little McCormick Habanero Mango Seasoning. CAN ADD dice very fine onion or onion granular Sometimes I do n dont not a lot either way.

POKE a well in UR burgers add cream cheese n close burger well on all sides forming the burger again. HAVE use Harvatti cream jalapeño cheese Mexican Blend cheese UR choice.

Remember chicken cooks faster.

NO EGGS ever if need be wet hands to form burgers .

These BURGERS have never been dry

* use a flat cast iron skillet to roast chiles or on a grill. Speed up roastime ~ after chiles start to char n blister n sometimes all dont char completely. usually just place in plastic bag to sweat them before peeling ...I just cut that step n place unfinished charred chiles in micro for about 1.5 minutes n they peel great n still have the char roasted flavor n make roast enough to wrap in pkgs. n freeze then in zip lock bags wrapped in saran separate portion sizes .

4 ozs. cream cheese softened
1 c. cheddar cheese shredded or choice

Jalapeño's can be replaced with roasted gr. chiles or serrano's. Cheese - any U like.

Preheat oven 425°F. Line a 15" × 11" baking sheet with parchment paper - set aside. If using air fryer line the basket or if oven type fryer same as oven.

Medium bowl - add ñ mix well together - any seasonings - beef - pork chicken - cream cheese - cheddar - bacon - jalapeño ñ if using refied beans. Spoon about 3 Tbsps. this mixture onto each tortilla n spread across tortilla ñ roll tortilla around the filling as tight as possible. Place seam side down on prepared baking sheet or parchment paper in the basket of air fryer. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Make sure taquitos are not touching. Lightly brush each taquito with vegetable oil. Sprinkle with salt if desired.

Air Fry or Bake 15 to 20 minutes or till taquitos are crisp ñ golden brown. Air Fryer times change to Air Fryers -just check at 9 minutes. Great anytime. Make them spicy or mild with any filling U want from - chipotle to BBQ. Get creative.

Serve hot with salsa - sour cream or guacamole.

Welfare Enchiladas
This makes a good potluck dish
Buy a bag of frozen burritos , your preference as to what kind, bean and cheese are the ones I usually use
Thaw
Place thawed burritos in glass baking dish single layer
Pour enchilada sauce over , red or green, I prefer green
Sprinkle shredded cheese, I use Mexican mix cheese already shredded by Kraft but I'ma lazy
You can throw some sliced black olives over top to fancy it up.
Cover with foil place in oven , I'm usually in no hurry so I cook at 350 till it looks all bubbly ( cheese that us) and heated usually about 30/45 minutes. Yummmmmmm!

These all sound Delicious.
I am a Pescatarian, so I prefer the ones with no meat.
I love Mexican food!
