Red Chicken Enchiladas
| June 16, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Recipe |
I have this funny thing about enchiladas. In that, well, I don’t really like them. But I make them all the time. Let me back up a bit. Enchiladas in most Mexican (or at least most “mexican” restaurants in the US that bear little-to-no resemblance to real food eaten in the real country of Mexico)…
Drunken Pintos
| June 6, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Recipe, Side Dishes |
What you don’t see in this photo is tequila. Which is a damn shame, because we all need more tequila in our lives. (Side note – when did tequila get such a bad reputation? Sure, Jose Cuervo isn’t going to win any taste tests soon – it’s abrasive, astringent, and more like moonshine than…
Chipotle-Marinated Flank Steak with Avocado-Corn Relish
| June 3, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, MEAT |
With a photo like that, do you need any text? Well, I couldn’t let you all off the hook that easy, now, could I? What with it being a Friday and all, and shaping up to be a sunny, hot weekend in this fair city, an easy recipe like this grilled flank steak is just…
Tamale Pie

Oh, how I wanted this to be good, friends. After a few hours of cooking (my lazy Sunday cooking style) – poaching chicken, letting it cool, shredding, making the filling, making the cornbread, cooking, assembling, and baking for flippin’ ever….I was left with this. Now, maybe I did something wrong. Somewhere around step #45 I got really bored…
Phyllo Chimichangas
| March 24, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Appetizers, Recipe, snacks |
I found the inspiration for this recipe on a blog called “Eat 80-20.” It’s run by a nutritionist (one who befriended me on Tasty Kitchen) who aims to provide 80% healthy, nutriotionally sound recipies, and 20% just plain good ones. After we “met,” I browsed around her site some and instantly stumbled upon this little…
Beer & Sausage Risotto
| February 9, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Recipe |
As A noted last night, there is no greater combination of food and drink than beer and sausage. Something about one just begs for the other, the fatty, spicy richness of sausages calling out for crisp, cold, smooth bitterness of a hoppy ale. Leftover beer and sausage in the fridge from the past weekend’s disappointing NFC Championship Game…
Green Chile Enchiladas Suizas
| February 3, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Leftovers, Main Course, Recipe |
Enchilada Suizas. Which, translated, I think, means something like “Swiss Enchiladas.” Yeah, I don’t know what “enchilada” means except “enchilada.” But, because it seems to be a mashup of cultures even in its purest form, I didn’t flinch from taking a freewheeling approach with it, throwing in all manner of non-authentic ingredients and coming up…
Mexican Rice and Refried Beans
| January 25, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Recipe, Side Dishes, Vegetarian |
These two things just go together, don’t you think? My half-Mex A takes this approach literally, stirring both together every time we go to El Taco Veloz or Caesar’s or Barco Mariscos. Me, I’m a “let’s keep the foods from touching each other” sort of girl, but I see his point – you really can’t…
Chicken & Bean Burritos
| January 24, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Make-ahead, MEAT, Recipe |
A healthy burrito? Oxymoronic, right? Sort of. Like a pizza can be as healthy or decadent as what you put on top of it, a burrito can be similarly good- or bad-for-you depending on what fills it up. Granted, that big flour tortilla is always going to hold a static, usually high, number of calories…
(Sexy) Mexican Potatoes
| December 20, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Recipe, Side Dishes |
This recipe came from a number of diverse, bizarre sources. First, I had cooked a potato a few nights back planning to make yet another mom recipe, Tuna Baked Potatoes. Mixing cooked potato with tuna, green pepper, seasoned salt and cheddar cheese then baking said mixture in hollowed-out shells formed this favorite of our growing…
