Recipezaar: Tex-Mex recipesThe newest Recipezaar recipesin:Tex-MexSpicy Zucchini- March 27, 2008 This was so good last night, I don't want to forget what I did! This was a great side dish for cheese enchiladas. Adjust the seasonings according to your tastes and the age of your kids. I used the lower end for my 6yo (who ate it without protest) and 20mo (who was not so fond of it). If I were to cook this for just the adults at my house, I would use the upper end. I used really small zucchini for this, less than an inch in diameter and about 5-6 inches long. -- posted by CraftScouthttp://www.recipezaar.com/294820 Chile Relleno Casserole (Lightened up Slightly)- March 24, 2008 I wanted to make a chile relleno casserole for a potluck, but didn't love any the recipes I saw. So I combined several recipes and made my own version. It has lots of green chiles and both jack and longhorn cheese, for maximum Tex-Mex appeal. The final dish is great to take for a potluck dinner, but can also be served for breakfast and brunch. It's best just out of the oven when the egg batter is fluffy, but it is still good reheated or even served at room temperature.

Cilantro is one of my favorite herbs and I really love how these flavors come together. NOTE: Cooking time does not include marinating time. -- posted by Mistress of Teahttp://www.recipezaar.com/293690 Red and Black Bean Pies (With Polenta)- March 21, 2008 Tasty dinner that freezes well. 1 lb of ground beef or turkey can be added if desired but this makes a wonderful meatless meal. Looks really good if you bake individual pies in ramekins but tastes just as good in pie plates as well and is easier to clean so that's how I usually do it. Also since there is only three of us, I bake one pie plate for dinner and freeze the other for another night. Works great! Be careful not to overbake or this dish will dry out! -- posted by little_winghttp://www.recipezaar.com/293589 Cheddar Cheese Grits With Spicy Black Beans- March 20, 2008 Southern and Southwestern ingredients unite in this sustaining meal of beans, peppers and tomatoes over the best grits you will ever eat! If you don't have the quick-cooking variety, use regular and follow the ingredients on the pkg. F&W Magazine. We are always looking for different ways of serving black beans and this one sounds like a winner; we may have to cut down on the amout of heat! -- posted by DiScharfhttp://www.recipezaar.com/292985 Cheese and Tomato Quesadillas- March 19, 2008 This recipe came from a local recipe pamphlet. -- posted by Mrs. Hugheshttp://www.recipezaar.com/292830 South of the Border Chicken- March 14, 2008 This is a quick and simple chicken recipe.

Best served with tortilla chips (almost like a taco salad!) -- posted by iewehttp://www.recipezaar.com/291840 Avocado Sandwich- March 13, 2008 My mom used to make these fantastic sandwiches when I was a kid and I've always loved them. I've made a few alterations to her basic recipe, and it's so good. This sandwich can be altered in many ways, including the additon of some salsa to spice it up. Please share your thoughts if you prepare this sandwich, I'd love to hear your thoughts and I'd like to hear about any variations you might make. -- posted by Happy Hippiehttp://www.recipezaar.com/291790 |
