Recipe: Cookbook - Recipes from Los Barrios Family Cookbook: Tex-Mex Recipes from the Heart of San Antonio by Diana Barrios Trevino
Recipe Collections1. Enchilada Gravy Sauce
Use this sauce for enchiladas stuffed with cheese, beef, or chicken. Top them off with Chili con Carne and grated cheese. You can assemble them ahead of time and freeze them for future use.
2. Homemade Corn Tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas are a staple in our home. They are eaten with every meal and used in many different recipes. The tortilla is to San Antonio as the bagel is to New York. It is the third utensil: the knife, the fork, and the tortilla!
3. Homemade Flour Tortillas
Making tortillas from scratch can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a little frustrating. My eleven-year-old son, Jordan, rolls his tortillas out into perfect circles, but mine end up looking like the state of Texas! Don t give up if they don t come out right on the first try. Once you get the hang of them, everyone will be asking for more. These will keep, well wrapped, for up to 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 2 months in the freezer.
4. Los Barrios Salsa
This salsa is great with Tortilla Chips. The only problem is that it quickly becomes habit-forming - you just can t stop eating it. We serve a bowl of this salsa and a basket of warm tortilla chips to every table in our restaurant, and people always ask for more. I have even seen customers eating it with a spoon, like soup. It goes with everything, from breakfast to dinner, and it accompanies every meal at Los Barrios. It will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
5. Make-Me-Crazy Grill Marinade
This is a great marinade for chicken fajitas, fish, or shrimp. I seal everything in a Ziploc bag, place it in the refrigerator, and marinate for 2 to 4 hours, to ensure that the flavor soaks in. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes to 1 hour before grilling.
