Homemade Corn Tortillas

By easyfoodswp | Tortillas | 0 comment | 25 August, 2016 | 0

cornTortillaTortillas have remained a staple in Latin households for decades, if not centuries. They were frequently used by the Aztecs in the area of Mesoamerica, which would eventually go on to become Mexico. As for its name, it’s believed to come from Spanish explorers and the word for “torta”, meaning a round cake.

Today tortillas can be found in Latin as well as American households. You can always purchase one of our great tasting tortillas, but if you want to make some at home, here is what you’ll need to make twelve of them:

  • Two pieces of round plastic from a bag, ideally freezer bags
  • Two cups of masa harina
  • 1 ¼ cup of warm water

Combine the water and masa harina in a wooden bowl and mix it up until it’s evenly absorbed and the dough has turned into a ball. The dough should be soft and should not stick to your hands. If it does stick, add some more masa and if it looks dry or like it’s going to crumble, add more water. Use a moist towel to cover the dough so that it doesn’t dry out.

Grab a heavy skillet or griddle and preheat it over a medium flame, then use a heavy dish to place the ball of dough about one and half inches in diameter between two pieces of plastic and press to form a 6-inch round tortilla. Take the heavy dish off and then peel off the plastic. If the pressed tortilla doesn’t have an even edge then add some water. If the dough doesn’t come off the plastic easily it may need some more masa harina.

Cook the tortilla on the griddle for 45 seconds until the edges begin to dry out, and then turn it over and cook for about a minute until you see brown patches. Turn it over once again and cook it for an additional fifteen seconds, the whole cooking process should take about two minutes.

By easyfoodswp | Tortillas | 0 comment | 19 August, 2016 | 0

btsLunchMany children in Miami-Dade County will be heading back to the classroom next week to officially begin the 2016-2017 school year. As a parent, on top of running around making sure that you’ve got all of the necessary school supplies you’ll also need to determine what your child will be eating for lunch five days a week. We’ve got an easy cheese quesadilla recipe you can prepare in just ten minutes with minimal ingredients. Here is what you’ll need:

  • Four tablespoons of butter
  • Four flour tortillas (ten inches)
  • A cup of grated cheese, Mexican blend, or sharp Cheddar

Begin by laying out the four tortillas on a cookie sheet and then sprinkle some of the cheese on one half, making sure to stay away from the edges. After you’ve added the cheese, fold each tortilla in half so that they resemble a half-moon shape.

Grab a skillet over low heat and then melt a single tablespoon of butter. Throw in the half-moon tortilla and cook it until it looks lightly brown, this process should take about two minutes. Flip the tortilla over and repeat the same process for the other half, making sure that it ends up brown as opposed to lightly brown. Remove the tortilla from the skillet and place it on a platter or individual plate.

With the remaining butter, repeat for the other three tortillas. If it’s not time to serve, you can always refrigerate or freeze the tortillas to serve later.

backtoschoolIf you’re a parent with school age children, you’re probably busy getting them ready to head back to school. One of the many daily tasks you’ll be faced with is having to prepare their daily meals for lunch, and we’re spotlighting a fun recipe to recommend involving tortillas called Rainbow Veggie Pinwheels. Here is what you’ll need:

  • A pair of tortillas or large spinach wraps
  • A cup of baby spinach leaves
  • 1/3 cup of cream cheese (whipped or softened)
  • Half a cup of shredded purple cabbage
  • Two teaspoons of dry ranch salad dressing and seasoning mix
  • Half of a thinly sliced yellow bell pepper

Start by combining the dry salad dressing and cream cheese together, making sure to mix well and then spread the mixture evenly over the tortillas. Place the vegetables in rows across the tortillas and then roll each one up as tightly as possible. Add a little cream cheese to act as a seal if you feel it’s necessary. Cut the tortillas crosswise in pinwheels of one and half to two inches and you’re ready to serve!

Weekend Chicken Tacos

By easyfoodswp | Tortillas | 0 comment | 10 August, 2016 | 0

chickenTacosIt may only be Tuesday, but it’s never too early to start looking into what to prepare for the weekend. To help you out, we’re taking a look at tinga de pollo, or chicken tacos, a good recipe for a night when you need something quick and easy to prepare. Here is what you’ll need:

For the chicken:

  • A teaspoon of grated lime zest plus two tablespoons of lime juice
  • Two pounds of trimmed, skinless and boneless chicken thighs
  • Half a teaspoon of brown sugar
  • Salt and pepper
  • Two tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • Two tablespoons of of canned, minced, chipotle in adobo sauce
  • Two tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • Half a cup of chicken broth
  • A thin sliced onion
  • A can of diced tomatoes (fire roasted)
  • A teaspoon of ground cumin
  • A ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon

For the tacos:

  • Lime wedges
  • Twelve warmed corn tortillas, preferably six inches
  • Fresh minced cilantro
  • One halved and pitted avocado cut into half inch pieces
  • Six minced scallions
  • Two ounces of crumbled Cotija cheese

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and then heat a tablespoon of oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it simmers. Add half of a chicken and cook until it’s brown on both sides, about three to four minutes per side. Move everything over to a large plate and then repeat the process for the rest of the chicken.

Turn the heat down to medium, add a tablespoon of oil to the pot and then heat once again until it shimmers. Throw in the onion and cook, making sure to frequently stir until everything is brown. Follow by adding the cinnamon, garlic, and cumin and cook for a minute until it becomes fragrant. Add the chipotle, adobo sauce, tomatoes, broth, and sugar and boil, making sure to remove any bits that may have browned.

Place the chicken back into the pot, turn the heat down to medium-low, cover it up and let it simmer until the meat is 195 degrees while also making sure to flip the chicken over, this should take about fifteen to twenty minutes. Move the chicken over to a cutting board.

Pour the cooking oil into a blender and process it until smooth, about fifteen to thirty seconds. Move the sauce back over to the pot and once it’s cooled down use a pair of forks to shred the chicken into bite sized pieces. Transfer the chicken with the sauce over to the pot and cook over medium heat, making sure to frequently stir until the sauce is thick and has clung to the chicken. Stir in the lime zest and juice and add some salt and pepper seasoning for taste.

For the tacos, grab a spoonful of chicken and add it to the center of each tortilla before serving, making sure to pass the lime wedges, avocado, cilantro, Cotija, and scallions separately.

A Healthier Taco Tuesday

By easyfoodswp | Tortillas | 0 comment | 2 August, 2016 | 0

fishTacosJust about everyone loves Taco Tuesday, or tacos for that matter. However if you’re looking to go on a diet, tacos may not always be the best option if you’re counting calories and trying to control your daily food intake. At home however, making a few small adjustments could allow you to enjoy tacos without derailing your dieting efforts.

For starters, try swapping out the shell. Tortillas with whole wheat and plenty of fiber are great as an alternative to corn tortillas as these tortillas typically have a mere fifty calories, five grams of protein, and seven grams of fiber. You can also create your own “taco shell” by using some romaine lettuce to wrap your filling.

You don’t necessarily need to sacrifice on condiments to enjoy your taco with your favorite toppings. Opt for some fat free sour cream which has less calories and consider making your own salsa.

Instead of the ingredients that include lots of calories, pack your taco with mostly veggies, preferably non-starchy ones along with herbs. Mushrooms, red bell peppers, garlic, jalapeño peppers, these are all great options. You may also want to switch the ground meat and have fish tacos with something like mahi-mahi.
