Craving Mexican…

… we love Mexican food… we are going to make some tomorrow night while the winds are howling and the snow is coming down… i have Nopalito by Gonzalo Guzman and Stacy Adimando… really nice Mexican cook book… we settled on Tortas Pambazos¹ (Chorizo and Potato Sandwiches)… think of it as a sloppy Joe, but way better…

… i bought the needed ingredients yesterday… this morning i made the Jalpeños Curtidos (pickled jalapeños) and the Salsa Guajillo… tomorrow H will make the Teleras, (Mexican Sandwich Rolls)…

… that’s the thing with authentic Mexican… it’s generally a bit complex, involving layers of flavors… cheese, meat, chilies, salsas, concoctions needed to make the salsas… i imagine in Mexico many of these things are made up in quantity and ready to go for the week or month… not in our house… we don’t cook Mexican that often so we make what we need from scratch when we do… it’s what the English might refer to as “a bit of a palaver”… but oh the yum is worth it…
