7 Layer Mexican Dip

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Large Can Refried Beans
2 Cans Jalapenos -- or chilies
2 Tomatoes -- or more
1 Onion -- (optional)
16 Ounces Sour Cream
2 To 4 Avacados
2 Packages Taco Seasoning
Shredded Cheese -- (Mozzarlla and chedd
1 To 2 Cans Olives
Mix the refried beans and taco seasoning together (I also mix the chili's in
with this, but some people put the chilis as a layer) Mix this really well
(I used a food processor, but today I am going to use my mixer). This is the
first layer.
Put a layer of sour cream on top of the refried beans, taco seasoning and
chilis.
Next put a layer of well mixed/mushed avacados (you need enough to cover the
pan, I use a cake pan normally) on top of everything else
Next sprinkle cheeses on top (I just thought about it and I put the avacado
first and then the sour cream, but I suppose it doesnt matter). I think the
more cheese the better myself *grin*!
Next cut up tomatoes and add as many as you like, which I like to use at
least 2 cut up tomatoes.
Last put chopped up olives.
Put in the oven until the cheese is melted. I use a low heat so that
everything
else warms up.
Last but not least pull out the chips and dip! Everyone really enjoys this
dip. I hope you do too.
Betsy - that's very close, the one I use
has a layer of chicken seasoned with taco seasoning and I top
it off with shredded lettuce, chopped tomato and more cheese.

I didn't have potatoes
So I substituted rice.
I didn't have paprika
So I used another spice.
I didn't have tomato sauce
I used tomato paste.
A whole can, not a half can
I don't believe in waste.
A friend gave me the recipe.
She said you couldn't beat it.
There must be something wrong with me
I couldn't even eat it!

Hallacas
serves 6
1.5 lb diced beef
1.5 lb diced pork
2 cups water
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup canned chickpeas
3 Tb olive oil
4 tomatoes, chopped
4 onions, chopped
2 green peppers, chopped
1/2 tsp dried ground chili peppers
4 Tb chopped parsley
4 tsp salt
3 Tb vinegar
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp capers
1/2 cup seedless raisins
1/2 cup sliced stuffed olives
3 cups corn meal
4 cups boiling water
1/3 cup butter
2 eggs, beaten
Combine the beef, pork, water, and garlic in a saucepan. Bring to a boil
and cook over medium heat for 45 minutes. Drain and chop coarsely. Add the
chickpeas, mixing lightly. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the
tomatoes, onions, peppers, chili, parsley, 2 tsp of the salt, vinegar,
sugar, and the meat mixture. Cook over low heat for 15 mins, stirring
occasionally. Add the capers, raisins, and olives. Mix lightly. Set
aside.
Mix the corn meal with a little cold water. Add to the boiling water in a
saucepan, stirring constantly. Add the butter and remaining salt. Cook over
low heat for 15 mins. Remove from the heat and add the eggs, beating until
a smooth dough is formed. Butter a 3-quart round or square baking dish.
Line it with 2/3 of the corn meal mixture and pour the meat mixture into
it. Spread the remaining corn meal on top. Cover the dish with a piece of
foil and tie it. Place in a pan of water. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1
hour.
In Venezuela the dish is prepared in the form of tamales. Banana leaves are
used for wrapping the hallacas, but foil or parchment paper will serve as a
substitute. Cut 10-inch squares of either paper. Spread about 4 Tb of the
corn meal dough in the center and press as thin as possible. Place 2 Tb of
the meat mixture on the dough and fold over, sealing the edges as well as
possible. If the dough breaks, patch it with a little more dough. Fold the
paper around the hallacas carefully and tie it securely. If foil is used,
it is not necessary to tie it. Boil in a large saucepan of salted water for
1.5 hours. Serve in the papers.

Steak Fajitas
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beef Mexican
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 lbs skirt steak
2 large yellow onions
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
16 tortillas
2 cups grated cheese
3 cups guacamole
MARINADE
1 cup lime juice
1 Tbsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp garlic -- minced
PICO DE GALLO
1/2 cup fresh cilantro -- chopped
2 scallions -- chopped (green
onions)
2 large tomatoes -- chopped
1 tsp garlic -- minced
Combine marinade ingredients in a large glass baking dish.
Peel the fatty membrane from both sides of the skirt steak. Add
meat to marinade and marinate for at least 4 hours, preferably
overnight.
Make the pico de gallo: combine all of the ingredients in a small
serving bowl.
Slice the yellow onions into 1/4-inch slices, and cut each slice into a
semicircle.
Grill the meat until it is cooked slightly less than the way you
like it. Meanwhile, saute the onions in the oil until they are soft.
After removing the meat from the grill, slice it into strips that are
cut across the grain.
The strips should be 3-4 inches long and 1/4 inch thick.
Add the strips to the onions in the pan, and fry for another minute or
two.
Place on the table the pan full of meat, the bowl of pico de gallo, a
basket with the tortillas, a bowl with the guacamole, and a bowl with
the grated cheese. You may wish to provide picante sauce in addition.
NOTES
Skirt steak is somewhat like flank steak: somewhat tough,
and with a very stringy texture. It is covered on both sides
with a fatty membrane that must be removed or the meat will
be very tough. The key to good fajitas is the proper removal
of this membrane.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CarolB, Fl (8:53:58 pm) : Here is what you do vicki. Buy corn tortillas. Dip
them in hot oil and then in enchilada sauce. Old El Paso is OK. Brown some
ground beef . Cut up an onion or two and some cheese. Wrap the coated shell
around spoonfuls of beef, cheese and onion, roll up. Cover with more sauce
and bake, til cheese is melted.
