Originally featured in Taste of Home as Turkey Quesadillas, the recipe was tweaked a bit for its listing here. Used as an…

Potato Tacos by Wendi Taylor

The inspiration came from Taco Bell's limited time potato taco. I tried it once, and it was surprisingly good. But, I detest the garbage that goes into fast food and much prefer to make my own. Whipped up this little delight for brunch today and it was too good not to share. You will also need approximately 1/4 cup vegetable or…

Layered Bean Dip by Salad Foodie

A real party-pleaser! Versions of this recipe abound but what sets this one apart from most is it is served hot from the oven, and has a layer of ground beef. We always called this Supper Nachos but one recipe makes enough for a party appetizer for about 2 dozen people, so cut it down to size for a family dinner!

Zucchini Pico de Gallo Salsa or Salad by Salad Foodie

As delicious to taste as it is to behold! And just one more recipe in your zucchini cookbook arsenal. Easy to swap out ingredients on hand for the array in this recipe. Cucumber, cauliflower, green onions, etc. You select your level of desired heat by type and amounts of peppers - jalapeno, verses poblano vs. bell peppers. For the…

Carnitas by Michael Montgomery

Carnitas Literally it means “little meats” in Spanish. It can be made from beef, but is almost always made from pork shoulder. Look for “Boston butt”,”picnic ham”, or country style ribs. None of these are from the butt,ham, or ribs: they're all from the shoulder area of the hog. In addition to being very economical cuts, they also…

Huevos Rancheros by Salad Foodie

Any excuse to eat Mexican for breakfast works for me, and this version of Huevos Rancheros is as crunchy and delicious as it is colorful. Tortilla chips replace traditional tortillas for the base, topped with black beans, egg, salsa, avocado and cheddar cheese. Now this dish will get the sleepy-heads to the table fast!

Home made Tortillas by Monocot

Once you try these you will never buy them again. And as you get better you can make a huge batch in about 30 minutes!. My first attempt took me over a hour, I admit.

Mexican Pozole II (Posole) by Salad Foodie

This is the second installment on my mission to try different methods of making pozole. It has similar ingredients as the first one I posted (see “Useful Links” below), is less spicy and requires a longer cook time. Here are some things I liked about this one: (1) ease of preparation - just dump everything in the pot (2) a generous…

Smoky Turkey & Cheese Enchiladas by Patti Fisher

Smoky Turkey and Cheese Enchiladas were fun to make and yummy to eat., In the last few days Ken smoked a turkey and smoked our favorite types of cheese. With the hot weather coming we get asked for lots of recipes using leftovers. Substituting chicken for turkey works great, too. These were quick and easy to put together and can be…

Super Taco Burgers by Patti Fisher

Wow!!! Super Taco Burgers made it into GMG’s Cookbook !!! Super Taco Burgers, we love a great taco and a great burger. I couldn’t make up my mind as to what to make for dinner. It’s date night and I like to put something on the grill and spend a relaxing evening with Patti. Giving it some thought I came up with a ½ pound Super Taco…

Tamales by Michael Montgomery

Tamales OK OK – these do take awhile. The masa goes together pretty quick and if you made Carnitas (see last post), that's already done. The real time is for the assembly and the cooking. Tamales are steamed, so that takes about 1.5 hours. Yes, it is a long time but you don't really have to do much except add a little water to the…

Make-Ahead Chicken Burrito by Salad Foodie

Leftover chicken, beans and rice can be put to good use making burritos for tomorrow's lunch, or frozen for a quick meal later. The recipe below makes one burrito, but I like to make several from leftovers on hand, and freeze them for busy days. Use leftover refried beans spread on the tortilla, or if using whole black beans, fold…
