Appetizers Latin Fusion Mexican Recipes

Chorizo Queso Fundido

Chorizo Queso Fundido

Ok, so are stuck at home. Being quarantined because of the Coronavirus is one of the most difficult things I have ever had to experience.

One of the ways that I have passed the time is by cooking. I’m sure that doesn’t come as a surprise, I am a food blogger after all. But one thing that I have had to learn to do is adjust. Adjust making changes to recipes I have always made a certain way. This one of them. I wanted to share it with you because it is super simple, delicious and done in 12 minutes.

This was my husband and I’s lunch today. My original recipe called for fresh Pico de Gallo, goat cheese and more items I didn’t have on hand. But what I did have was sufficient to make this taste delicious!

Enjoy!

Quick and Easy Fish Tacos   I make dinner pretty Quick and Easy Fish Tacos
 
I make dinner pretty much every night and sometimes I am just bored to death with chicken, beef and pork. These are my autistic sons’ favorite things to eat. On lazy days, I cook what I know he will eat. But last night, I really wanted fish again and how much easier could it get than these fish tacos?! 
I used @spanglishasadero_official Surf & Turf for that extra flavor. They were to die for!

Oh! And the leftovers were gone after lunch! Yum!

4 tilapia filets, rinsed and patted dry
2 tsp olive oil
½ cup yellow onion, chopped
1 tbsp minced garlic
3 to 4 tbsp canned diced tomatoes, or fresh
2 tbsp canned green chiles
1 tbsp Spanglish Asadero Surf & Turf
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
3 tbsp lime juice
Corn or flour tortillas
1 avocado, sliced
lime wedges for garnishing,if desired
Taco or hot sauce if desired

DOMINICAN RIKI TAKI Dominican “street food” at DOMINICAN RIKI TAKI

Quick Cod in Tomato Basil Sauce Oh what a night! T Quick Cod in Tomato Basil Sauce
Oh what a night! This cod recipe takes under 20 minutes to cook from start to finish. I’m pretty fast so I got it done in 15 minutes. This is a must try recipe and super flavorful.

While I cooked, I watched my friends at @upandadamlive in our members only live. The tea was really good tonight!

Ingredients:
2 to 4 cod fillets, dried with paper towels
2 tbsp olive oil
Crushed red pepper flakes to taste
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup basil, finely chopped
1/2 of a lemon’s juice
salt to taste
black pepper to taste

Directions:
Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add crushed red pepper flakes, garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes until they’re starting to soften. Stir in the basil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and cook for another minute. Create pockets and add the cod fillets. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn over and cook for another 3 minutes. Depending on the thickness of the cod it could need more or less time. When done, cover with the tomato sauce and enjoy!

Latin Chicken Croquettes This recipe is soooo good Latin Chicken Croquettes
This recipe is soooo good! And even though there is no cheese in it, it pulls almost just the same. Oh, and it has prosciutto di Parma! 
You can also make them ahead and freeze after forming and before frying. These are a perfect make ahead appetizer.
