In search of a couple Mexican food recipes?

I'm looking for a couple of good recipes. The first one I need is for chile rellenos. Meatless ones. They're my favorite Mexican food, but I can never seem to find a good recipe for them. Also, I'm looking for a good salsa recipe and a good queso recipe. Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated!In search of a couple Mexican food recipes?
ok forget the white people recipes mine is simple easy and mexican.


get however many ancho chiles you want. 2 per person is good.


First roast the chiles on a skillet or comal(dont burn them)


peel off the skin. make a sliver on the side of the chile and stuff it with ur fav. cheese.


beat 3-5 eggs until fluffy depending on amount of chiles


coat chiles with flour then the eggs and put on a skillet with some oil. cook until it looks done(before the egg gets brown)


Serve with rice and tortillas.





Very simple salsa:


1 jalapeno


2 tomatoes


2 cups of water


boil the jalapenos and tomatoe until skin peels easily. take them out and take of the stem from pepper.


put tomatoe and pepper in blender with 2 cups of water(not the same water) and salt to taste.


blend until smooth. taste to see if it needs more salt. Put on foods and enjoy.In search of a couple Mexican food recipes?
I have a great queso for you. You can use Oaxaca or any good Mexican melting cheese if you can鈥檛 find the Manchego. This blows people away when they try it.

1 or jalapenos (up to you), seeded and chopped

A simply Sauce...


Green fried tomatoes sauce... It fits with chicken, cheese or beef. Or just for dipping with tortillas chips.


Take green tomatoes into boiling water until easy to peel off and take seeds out. Keep the water.


In a Pan, fried the tomatoes, one or two onions, parsley, cumin, salt, pepper and hot sauce, with some butter or oil for about 5 to 10 minutes.


Then put this in the mixer for 5 seconds, adding tomatoes boiled water little by little, if needed.


Once again taste it to add salt or hot sauce to taste....


Cold or Hot it麓s great.


You can keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of days or in the freezer for about a month.
