Bachelor Cooking Tips
Submitted by:
D. Neff
Thank you for a wonderful site! I have a couple of tips as well. I am a big guy who loves to eat, so when I make a baking dish of enchiladas, they stay in the dish until I eat them! I am a bachelor who works long hours and off-hours, so I only get one day to make a big batch of sauces and filling the traditional way of 4-5 hours of simmering. Thank goodness for those Serving Savers!
I find if you add about a 1/5 inch of sauce in the baking dish before placing your enchiladas, they are much more cooperative in the baking dish. Before I roll the enchiladas, I will microwave the tortillas for about 20 seconds or so to make them more pliable, then dip both sides in the sauce in the baking dish before rolling them up with the filling.
On some occasions, I will leave some room to add frijoles to the baking dish to accent my meal. I love a little Monterey Jack cheese mixed with the frijoles, but not placed on top where the cheese could burn. I will mix in the grated Monterey Jack cheese with a layer of the frijoles, then add a small layer of frijoles on top to protect the cheese from burning.
My favorite topping on the frijoles is one of my main staples of Mexican cooking, Ortega Original Thick and Smooth Taco Sauce! I do not know what your secret is, but the tanginess of the chilled sauce on those still oven hot frijoles with melted cheese is a taste sensation to behold, and I cannot have taco night without it and my trusted Tabasco pepper sauce.
Sometimes it is difficult to find you taco sauce. I have had to visit a few stores before I find it sometimes. Thank you for adding a store finder by product to limit my search, and provide some other locations if a particular store is out.
Now, if you have a recipe for homemade fried crispy taco shells that do not burn or set of smoke alarms, please send them to me. Thank you.
