Fried Potato Roasted Poblano Street Tacos
Last week by chance I came across an Instagram post of fried potatoes and roasted poblanos. And then while speaking to my manicurist she mentions her love for fried potato & onion sandwiches. It was easy to wrap my head around fried potatoes, my Granny’s speciality. But in a sandwich? I tried the sandwich and it was pretty darn good … maybe needed a little mustard. Anyway, this got me thinking about a street taco filling. Yep! “That’s the ticket,” Granny would say.
You can use Ortega Fire Roasted Green Chiles instead of the poblanos. If you are thinking the roasting process might be a hassle it’s really not. I just use my electric burner on medium. Set the peppers right on the burner with the stem toward the outer rim of the burner to grab and move about easily, and roast all sides. It goes quickly and is safe as long as you are right there attending. Not for the accident prone. View here at my Eggplant Appetizer roasted the same way. If you wish to use the oven method follow the instructions in this post for roasting peppers, Burritos, Enchiladas and Tomatillo Sauce.
Pasta and Beans (Pasta Fagioli) is an economical dish with few ingredients. Eaten often by the Rizzo Family on meatless Friday’s and during Lent. When I assisted in putting this together I wasn’t sure just how flavorful the result would be. It is now on my list of favorite comfort foods. Vegan or vegetarian, or add a little Italian sausage if you must. It’s all perfectly good.
Sweetened condensed milk leftover from ice cream making was an incentive to creating this pie. Can’t let food go to waste! Have you ever given thought to what’s in sweetened condensed milk. It’s really not that scary. In fact, you can make it yourself right on your stove top. Only two ingredients. How about vegan condensed milk? It’s easy. Check out these great recipes, 
A favorite of mine. It’s a basic recipe that can be dressed to your taste or served in the basic form. Another great tasting soup to enjoy this winter!
It’s Apple Season! Some of my favorite Apple Recipes for you to try. Make your own applesauce for the baked recipes with this ingredient. So easy. Just peel, core and roughly chop cooking apples. Place into your medium saucepan with a bit of water-just enough water to barely cover the bottom. Simmer until apples are applesauce consistently. Add a pinch of salt if you wish. No sugar needed. Perfect! Enjoy!
Light, quick, vegetarian easy … Spicy Chick Pea Pasta e Fagioli. Use vegetable broth or stock for a true vegan experience or add chicken broth if you prefer this taste.
