The Mexican Cheeses you Need to Know

Cheese is the path to the hearts of most individuals. Cheese is a weakness shared by most people, whether you prefer delicate, mild cheeses or aged, stinky cheese. And for good reason—cheese is extremely versatile and can add comfort to any comfort food. Although it is the ideal garnish and addition to the majority of dishes, it has also garnered the respect and acclaim necessary to stand alone.

Cortijo los Malenos: mais bonito hotel de Cabo de Gata

Uma das minhas experiências mais diferentes de hospedagem na Espanha foi no Cortijo los Malenos, o mais bonito hotel de Cabo de Gata! Situado em Água Amarga, na Província de Almería, e parte do grupo Relais du Silence, proporciona uma vivência única, em pleno campo, como um hotel rural, mas próximo de algumas das praias mais lindas da Península Ibérica! Sem dúvida um destaque de onde ficar em…

Today, we slow cooked a boneless pork loin. I purchased a gift set from Voodoo. I did a dry rub of both Voodoo’s spices and seared in a cast iron skillet. Then, I added 1/4 cup of water with a 1/2 tablespoon water of liquid smoke and slow cooked. Once done, I shredded and added a bit of the Chipotle Honey glaze and viola.....Awesome tacos. I made a simple cabbage salad with olive oil, lime juice, a dash of salt and cotijo cheese. Grab a gift set at our Holiday Virtual Event. It’s awesome. Makes great gifts etc. Click in the link below. https://eventhub.shop/holiday-affair-a-virtual-event https://www.instagram.com/p/CIe3_rzn-pq/?igshid=126639mhg84ja

When a friend suggests having a mom’s night out (or in this case, a Mexican mom’s night IN), you go! An opportunity to exchange stories, tell jokes all the while, eating tasty treats and drinking yummy cocktails is always a welcome event.

Moms lead busy lives. Some wake up and go to work all day, to come home and put on their mom hat and there, their second job begins. Some moms stay at home and take care of their children on a full time basis. No matter what kind of mom we are talking about, it is safe to say that ALL moms are also psychologists, doctors, nurses, chefs, maids, laundry service, chauffeurs, referees, and the list goes on.

We may be busy, we may be tired but I am a firm believer that we need to reserve a bit of time for ourselves, for our friends, in order to keep ourselves in check. For this moment, I am not a mom, I am just a woman, sharing laughs with friends, and I truly believe that checking myself out for this moment ultimately makes me a better mother.

When my friend Angelique, otherwise known as the hostess with the mostest, invited us ladies for a night over at her place, we jumped at the opportunity. Angelique is forever fun, endlessly positive, completely down-to-earth, infinitely stylish and just simply a wonderful all-around gal.  She always makes you feel right at home in her fantastically decorated New York City apartment, but beyond that, her cheerful disposition leaves you always feeling good, and it’s not just the drinks she pours (which also make you feel good! Hahahaha!)

The theme was Mexican! I offered to bring my famous Margarita (sorry… this recipe’s a secret).  I also wanted to try making an enchilada dish, following a 30-minute or less time frame. I found a rather simple recipe on thespruceeats.com. There are many variations for this recipe. You can choose to keep it vegetarian or change up the protein from beef to chicken or even pork! Have fun, be creative and enjoy!

  Enchiladas

Time: 30 Minutes

Serves 4-6.

Ingredients. 

3/4 cup vegetable oil

14 corn tortillas

2 1/2 cups homemade enchilada sauce or one 28-ounce can or jarred store-bought sauce

2 cups grated or shredded cheese like Mozzarella

1/2 grated Cotija cheese

Optional: 1 1/2 cups cooked meat, such as shredded chicken at the deli in your grocery store or buy a rotisserie chicken and shred the breast meat for your filling, torn beef or even pork.

Directions

Step 1: Set up tortilla warming station. You need a pile of tortillas, a pot of hot (but not sizzling) oil, a few paper towels to absorb excess oil and a heat-proof dish to place the tortillas once ready.

  Step 2: Dip each tortilla in the warm oil for 5 to 8 seconds until the tortilla is warmed through and pliable. Set down on paper towel to absorb excess oil then set aside in the warming pan so they stay warm until you’re ready to use them.

Step 3: Pour some of your enchilada sauce into a 9 x 13″ baking dish, just enough to cover the base.  Then pour the rest in a shallow dish or bowl so that you can easily dip the tortillas in it.

Step 4: Set up the tortilla rolling station. You need the shallow bowl with enchilada sauce for tortilla dipping, your warmed tortillas, your baking dish, your mozzarella cheese and if you wish, some beef (as I had used); otherwise you can use chicken, pork or nothing at all.

Step 5: Take 1 tortilla and carefully dip it into the sauce until it is thoroughly coated. Place some meat along the center of the tortilla.

Step 6: Add some cheese.

Step 7: Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the meat and cheese, then fold the top part over.

Step 8: Place enchilada, seam side down, in baking dish. Continue to do so with all tortillas, creating 2 stacked layers of enchiladas.

  Step 9: Once you have made two levels of enchiladas, pour any remaining enchilada sauce on top. 

Step 10: Sprinkle any remaining Mozzarella cheese and all of the Cotijo cheese on top.  Heat oven to 350F and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Note: If you can, let the enchiladas sit for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve with a bit of sour cream (I used Greek yogurt as a healthy option), salsa and/or guacamole.

Our lovely host, Angelique prepared a number of accompanying dishes, staying true to the Mexican theme, quesadillas, nachos and guacamole to name a few.  Our dear friend Yvette provided our healthy option: a selection of crudite with dip. And what would a Mexican night be without some Margaritas? I mixed those up and prepared these enchiladas!! Arriba! Arriba! Ole!

Stay tuned for the upcoming recipe instruction video for these fantastic 30-Minute Enchiladas!!

Naco Taco is one of the newer taco spots in town and it gained notoriety for the fabulous patio, the food and being a restaurant with its kitchen in a food truck. Although it will be warm enough to enjoy the patio throughout most of December (apparently we can thank/blame El Niño for that), Naco Taco is more than just a summer taco party.

The space inside Naco Taco is actually pretty cool itself with a huge wrap-around bar and plenty of indoor space to crunch loudly on taco chips and slurp some strawberry, jalapeño, lemon sangria.

Several weeks ago, I was invited to stop in and check out Naco Taco with a friend.  We dove right into the menu and enjoyed an assortment of tacos as well as a few additional plates of vittles.

Okay, the cauliflower was so good. It is slathered in a chipotle aoili and topped with cotija cheese. Cauliflower is so simple but always tastier when prepared by someone else.

Local artists have contributed work to the space.

The bar is a large wrap-around bar. The perfect place to gather to watch hockey…or okay football.

The dining area is split into three or four main sections so there is really plenty of space for groups of all shapes, sizes and ages.
