 I already mentioned many times our liking towards mexican cuisine -for its similarity to indian cuisine , there are many meatless option too that is a special reason why i love mexican cuisine.

I normally do

1. Soups
2. Quesadilla
3. Enchilidas
4. Burritos
5. Tortilla chips

 that suit our palates ( i mean there will be some indian touches here and there ).I normally dont check any mexican recipes but its inspired taste from the resturants we eat .

Quesadilla:
Quesadilla is made from corn or flour tortillas filled with cheese and sometime veggies and cheese to form a sandwich

Enchiladas:
Enchilada is a wraps/rolls with veggies,meat,cheese in corn tortillas along with roho(red) or verde(tomatillo) or mole sauce(chocolate sauce)

Burrito:
Burrito is a wrap with flour tortillas ,rice,beans /meat.


When we get bored of our regular dinners we used to do mexican varieties.This enchiladas can be made very special with oaxaca cheese which is a mexican cheese and with red /gree sauce covered with some more cheese .Thinking itself i am on cloud nine.

Corn tortillas from scratch/Home made corn tortillas

After a fantastic mexican salsa and juice post today I am posting the tortillas totally made from scratch.
Tortillas are a faltbread made with corn flour like rice flour chappathis (akki roti) in texture ,but more healthier than rice rotis.You can eat it with whatever veggies you have. You can make quesadillas ( A mexican version of grilled sandwich ) by placing a slice between two tortillas and grilling. If there are leftovers you can store them in the fridge and have them later.

I buy fresh tortillas (not frozen) and keep them in fridge and use them within a month. They last a long time.The store I buy them from is little farther from my place. I am too lazy to get it because its getting cold here. So I bought maseca flour from  one of the mexican stores. I tried making tortillas today and they turned out very well.

This recipe asks for tortilla maker. But I dont have one. Find my trick to make tortillas below

Green gram dal and purple cabbage burrito

In my fridge you will always find corn tortillas. I use them to make tacos and burritos. I make veggie burritos by stuffing tortillas with fresh grilled veggies and black beans. Its a quick and healthy week day dinner.
I had some sprouted green gram dal left over and I used them instead of black beans in the burrito. It came out well. I wanted to share the recipe with you all..
