This is my favorite Mexican Rice recipe!
Mexican Rice
3 tbls. vegetable oil
2/3 cup diced onion
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 1/2 cups uncooked instant white rice
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 - 8 oz. can tomato sauce
2 tsp. salt
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
3 cups water
Saute onions in oil; add rice and stir until mixed with oil. Add all other ingredients and stir until combined. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 - 40 minutes until rice is tender. Remove bay leaf before serving.
I usually make enchiladas with this. I'm sure its not an authentic recipe but it's just the way my family likes them. And I once made a 3 milk cake that was soooo good! I'll see if I can find that recipe too. It was quite a bit of work, but the pay off was great!
Enchiladas
1 lb. ground beef
Salsa, I never measure, maybe 1/2 cup or so
Tortillas shells
Cheddar cheese
1 can red enchilada sauce
Brown ground beef and drain fat. Add salsa and stir to combine. Spoon mixture into shells and roll up, place in a baking pan. Repeat until all ground beef is used. Pour can of enchilada sauce over stuffed shells and top with cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 or about 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Quote for the day:
'Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.'
So - if you give her crap, you will receive more shit than any one human being can handle!
LOL, that's cute. I never heard that, you made me giggle this morning, and it's been a rough morning, so thanks! I'm Mexican and I can tell ya, that's not how we make our mexican dishes. =)
Quoting SAHMForever:
Really really simple.....
Add a package of Taco Seasoning to any ground meat. I like pork. And viola.

I am so glad I read your post. I was sitting here trying to figure out how to post a receipe. I burnt my husbands teeth once and started blending his food. One day I blended some mac and cheese of course I had to add extra milk but it looked just like cheese dip. " Light bulb moment" I fried some hambeger meat added ro-tel and the mac and cheese ( Walla ) Mexican Garbage. My bunch including my 79 yr. old Mom loves it. Very cheep. Hope you enjoy.
