What are you having for dinner? 2.0

[ChrissyRyan]

Yes, it is all wrapped up in the tortilla

Ah, and I forgot to mention I put plenty of cheese in it as well

What kind of cheese do you usually use for them?

I bet that she uses the "Mexican blend"

Don't knock the mexican blend, it's delicious even if not authentic! (Nothing compares to manchego or oaxaca though.)

LOL, I wasn't knocking it Ellie, in fact there's a one pound bag of it in the frig that my daughter uses on everything.  I like pepper check and was going to try crumbled blue cheese but it's expensive..........................

LOL... Whatever I have on hand which is usually cheddar & Monterey Jack and/or six cheese Italian mix 

What I usually do is first is make my salsa and chill it in the fridge, then wash and peel a potato and put it in a cold water bath to release the residual potassium

Rinse the potato slices in a colander then set them to dry on a paper towel and cover with another paper toewel

Then put some black beans to heat on the stovetop and add sliced mushroom, then I cook some bacon and wrap it in a paper towel, I then grill my steak (Most folks like to use marinated carne asada but I prefer to use small eye of round steak seasoned with a chipotle and roasted garlic rub)

I dice up the grilled steak and crumble the bacon and add them to the simmering bean and mushroom mix and add some pepper

Now it's time to put the French fries in the deep fryer   So now I lay out two flour tortillas on a plate so one partially overlaps the other and sprinkle some cheese and check to see if the fries are ready yet

When the fries are ready I roll them in a paper towel to soak up the excess grease then place some of them on the layer of cheese, then spoon the bean, bacon, steak and mushroom mix on top and add some more cheese

Now comes the salsa, sour cream and avocado if they are in season

Wrap that all up and put the rest of the fries on the plate then grub like a bad dog LOL

It was great!!!    There are several variations but a California burrito is basically diced steak with French fries, beans, salsa and sour cream and/or avocado

Seems that restaurants put avocado in or on something and call it California _____

I like fries but don't think I need to wrap them in a tortilla

Being raised there most of the food I make will have a Southern California and/or Hawaiian theme to it

to sum up my take on 'peas' .. eat raw off the vine. I ate pretty much everything we grew in our garden raw, once cooked .. blech ..

Dinner: Baked (read microwave) Potato and broccoli. I live large ...

[ChrissyRyan]

VM,

Hawaiian sounds good.  I have enjoyed some Hawaiian style garlic shrimp, luau food, etc.

However, poi does not seem to have much flavor for me.  Taro chips are better than poi.

Pic of the philly cheese from last night. Hoisin marinated london broil, thin sliced and seared in cast iron, deglazed with some white wine (trying to use up a bottle). Bellpeppers and onions sauteed. Topped with provolone, kosher salt, and hot sauce, then placed under the broiler for a few minutes.

[ChrissyRyan]

Nothing special to eat tonight, just some chicken and apple sausage.

Some pieces of chocolate and milk for a snack too.

Apple sausage?

Thinking about making spag and meatballs, all I need is enough energy to stay awake

Wait a couple of hours and it will be breakfast time

Looks good except there's no Mayo

Nothing I cook will ever have mayo unless its Japanese mayo.

[ChrissyRyan]

Apple sausage?

Yup. Little pieces of apple in a chicken sausage.

That's what makes it look good. 

I know this may be fighting words to some, but mayo is is just wrong.
