OM NOM NOM NOM

Have to toot my own horn.  Tonight for dinner, I made chicken and cheese quesadillas that are crazy insane good.  But not only did I make quesadillas, I also made the tortillas and the guac (I've got to say, this would give Nishi's a run for the money) from scratch.  Store-bought tortillas and guacamole are far too high in sodium - so I made sodium-free.  All together with the quesadilla filling and sour cream and everything, these ended up being about 85 mg of salt per serving, which is awesome. 

I'm incredibly impressed with myself.

My husband says I should open a restaurant.

Excellent work.  I've yet to attempt tortillas at home, they look labor-intensive, so I'm impressed you did!

They were really easy.  As I said, I made sodium-free, so it was 2 cups of flour, a teaspoon of salt-free baking powder, a tablespoon of shortening and a 1/2 cup of water.  Combine, let the dough rest for like 15 minutes, separate into 8 pieces, roll out and then throw in a dry skillet over medium heat for about a minute or so per side.  The end.

Lies!

Gamp is cooking?  There's something fishy going on here.

/that sounds really good

Obviously aliens have abducted the real Gamp and replaced her with a GampDrone. I, for one, don't mind the GampDrone as long as she keeps coming up with delicious cooking anecdotes.

The guacamole is so damn good.  I have some in a little tupperware in the fridge and I so want to just grab a spoon and dig in.

But I have self-control.

i am impressed, but i am also easily impressed

This looked better last night, but it still tastes good.

Minus the guac, I could eat about five plates of what you cooked.  Guac makes me yak.

Never.  I'd have no idea how to go about making a tamale.  Do they just sell corn husks and meal or would I have to buy ears of corn and mill them and then use the husks?  Enchiladas, on the other hand, seem doable.

very in depth process. i never made them...just watched the end process and pigged-out.
seems like some one should produce a tamale kit, like the magic taco boxes.
somehow the idea of you milling ears of corn is very funny !

[dazie]

I'm too lazy to make enchiladas, so I make "enchilada casserole" by layering the tortillas with the filling like a lasagne.

tasty.

I went to On the Border this week.
