Wisdom and Tex-Mex Food

This man is not wrong and he is most wise.

Definitely true, but Mexican food leftovers never really seem to work well for me.

I live for them! Microwaved tacos/fajitas (or enchiladas) on soft tortillas come out great. Just remove any sour cream, guac or lettuce before nuking. On real dishes, of course, not the styrofoam clamshell.

I could eat Tex-Mex or Mexican food almost every day of the week. Those flavors sing for any mealtime or snacktime. 🎶Ay yi yi yi!🎶

Today is salsa day; coincidentally I’m out of all my salsas on the same day. So I’m making salsa verde, salsa ranchera, and habanero salsa. I make pico de gallo to order.

These are so simple and quick there’s almost no reason to buy them, even though sometimes I do, because tomatillos require a trip to a separate grocery and sometimes the tomatoes are just crappy, and crappy tomatoes make crappy salsa. But I can have salsa (pico de gallo) on the table in 15 minutes. Or less.

Mosca I just love how you can take the same ingredients, blend them fresh then do the same with another set except roast/smoke them and the flavor profile comes out so different. And they are both delicious!

You had leftovers?

Leftovers? If you do, the trick is to order your tacos as soft and not crunch unless you are going to eat them at the restaurant..

There is a Mexican restaurant in Houston called Doneraki. Their chips and salsa (specifically their jalapeño salsa) is divine. I always overeat, but then their tacos al carbon are also divine, so I always leave overly stuffed.

And, coincidentally, I just learned that my department's holiday party will be catered by Ninfa's! Woohoo! (Yes, the Ninfa's on Navigation is no longer the 'real' Ninfas, but for catered fajitas.....I ain't complaining.)

Lucky you. We're going to a departmental party tonight and it's just traditional hotel mediocre catering of "traditional" fare.

I love me some good Texas BBQ, but Tex-Mex is right up there with it on my to-do list when in Houston.

I always wanted to know what makes Tex-Mex unique. Pretty good article here.
