5 8-inch flour tortillas fat-free

1 lb. ground beef; fat-free

Evenly spread a few big spoonfuls of salsa on top of the tortilla, followed by some of the refried beans, then, some meat and lastly some cheese. Repeat the exact layers for the remaining spreads. And top each layer with a flour tortilla. Make sure to save some cheese for later use.

Step 3: Place inside the oven, covered with tinfoil, and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

This recipe is a great variation for mashed potatoes. I admired whoever thought of this, I think it is genius! Mashed and grated potatoes fried into crispy potato cakes. The best! When I learned how to make this, I never stop. It’s the easiest and quickest dish ever. These potato cakes are the best to serve and eat while slightly hot, with either applesauce or sour cream or both on the side. The kids love this so much they never settle for just a single piece, they want more! These potato cakes are crispy, super delicious, and a classic. Another delightful recipe to use up those leftover mashed potatoes.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb potatoes

1 onion chopped fine

3/4 cup flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 egg

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

How to make Crispy Fried Potato Cakes

Step 1: Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into large pieces. But first, make sure to set half of the unpeeled potatoes aside for later.

Step 2: In a saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Then, cook for 15 to 20 minutes more in low heat or until the potatoes are tender. Once done, drain the potatoes. Place in a large bowl and mash. Set aside.

Step 3: Peel the remaining potatoes and grate. Add the grated potatoes into the mashed potatoes and mix well.

Step 4: Add in the onion, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined. Then, stir in the milk and egg to form a batter.

1 medium onion diced (about 1 cup)

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 cube chicken bouillon (or 1 tsp bouillon powder)

Southern Fried Cornbread

by Rebecca June 5, 2020
written by Rebecca

Aside from Mexican dishes, I love Southern, too. Southern dishes are so diverse, few of my favorites are Savannah Red Rice, Jambalaya, Banana Pudding, Cheese Pie, and a lot more. There are too many classic Southern dishes, some we are not even familiar with, but there’s one dish that never leaves our hearts – the Southern Fried Cornbread. These cornbreads are crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Easy and quick to make and an absolute cult favorite!

I learned to make this from my mom, she said her mother taught her too. It’s a recipe that has been passed around for centuries. Although, many modifications were made from one family to the other, yet the history of this delicious Southern Fried Cornbread stays the same. One of many Southern dishes pride that’s loved by many. I will teach my kids how to make this so they can pass it around their kids and to the next generation to come. This Southern Fried Cornbread deserves a spot on every family’s menu.

Step 1: Mix the cornmeal, salt, and water in a medium-sized bowl.

Step 2: Heat the bacon drippings and oil in a cast-iron skillet until almost smoking. Check if the oil is hot with a few drops of water, when they sizzle when dropped into the skillet the oil is hot.

Step 3: Place 2 tablespoons of the cornmeal mixture into the hot oil. Cook for 2 minutes or until golden crust forms around the cornbread edges. Do this for both sides. You can add more oil and/or bacon drippings into the skillet if it becomes too dry.

Step 4: Once cooked, remove from the skillet and transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

SLICED BAKED POTATOES

by Rebecca June 5, 2020
written by Rebecca

The best food for a gloomy afternoon! I made this yesterday and I enjoyed every bite of it! You will only need 5 basic ingredients for this dish and 7 easy steps! Anyone can pull this off. I am not an expert cook myself but I try to be. Well, when it comes to cooking food, we are allowed to give our take to it. I mean, personally, it makes me proud when I cook something good. Take for instance this Sliced Baked Potatoes. Yesterday, it was hit! My kids loved it. Nothing beats that feeling when you know what you did was amazing. Okay, enough with the long introduction and build up to this dish. It’s time for you to try it your own. By the way, if you do not have an oven, you can use your microwave instead. Just poke small holes on the potatoes and cook it in the microwave for 6 minutes only to prevent the potatoes from being overcooked.  So, there you go. I hope this makes your day perfect. Serve it with a nice and cold lemon juice. Enjoy!
