DIY: Tostada Day

It's been awhile my blogger fans. Today I'm showing you a do-it-yourself food recipe. As always my recipes are relatively easy and it should not be a problem if you decide to give it a try.

Ingredients you need:

• Tostada shells
• Ground Beef
• Tomatoes
• Onions
• Pinto Beans/Refried Beans (from can or homemade, I will show you the latter)
• Garlic
• Onions
• Guacamole (Optional) Recipe is from Chipotle, non-sponsored.
• Lemon
• Lime
• Onion
• Lettuce
• Cheese (Optional)

Preparation:

1. Prep for homemade refried beans, skip this step if using refried beans. The night before or 6 hours before serving, pinto beans will need to be soaked in water. Beans will need to be soft before blending.

2. Chop lettuce and onions. Cut tomatoes into small cubes.
3. Guacamole making

4. Place ground beef on pan. Start separating the meat apart because once cooked, it will be harder to separate. Beef will start to brown. Add in the tomatoes and onions. This will make the beef less dry. Add salt if needed and seasoned salt.

5. Beans will need to be blended or mashed. You can add garlic and onions. Add salt for taste. Fat or lard can be added for flavor.

6. Starting from the tostada shell, spread beans and guacamole, add meat, pile the lettuce, and sprinkle some cheese. Enjoy!

  

  

It's a relatively simple recipe that taste amazingly good.

If you're not a big fan of tostada, have no fear. You can also use this same...almost the same ingredients to enjoy a meal of tacos.

Mini Chicken Pot Pie

So I have been dying to try this recipe after I saw it on this link  Mini Chicken Pot Pie Recipe. I followed exactly the recipe they had and made these beautiful mini chicken pot pie. The things that I didn't have was a muffin tin and chicken breast, I had to improvise using a cupcake tin and real chicken pieces. Fortunately, it turned out great. These mini chicken pot pie were very satisfying and fulfilling. You can really taste the cream of chicken, which gives it that creamy texture and flavor. The only alteration for next time would be to use lesser dough.
