Tostitos tacos

We are not fan of tostitos, yet we have a friend who keeps giving us some. Well, we found a way of making use of them. We use them as tacos and eat them topped with Texmex ground beef, sour cream, cheese and lettuce. Here is the recipe I use for the groung beef:


1 1/2 tbsp chili powder


1 1/2 tsp paprika


1 1/2 tsp cumin


1/2 tsp salt


1 tsp oregano


1 tsp garlic powder or crushed garlic


1/2 chopped onion


some cayenne pepper if you like it spicy.


Brown groud meat, then mix in the seasonings and add 2/3 - 3/4 cup water, and let it simmer until consistency you want, about 10 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste, et voila.



My older son really likes it:

Favorite bread recipe

Here is a recipe to our favorite bread recipe: Portuguese Sweet Bread 1 cup of milk 1 egg beaten 2 tbsp margarine or butter 1/3 cup sugar 3/4 tsp salt 3 cups flour (I replace 1/3 of the flour with whole wheat flour) 2 1/2 tsp yeast Put ingredients in bread maker according to your machine's instruction. I use the dough setting. Then shape it the way you like it and let it rest for about 45 minutes. Bake at 350-375 for 30 minutes. Et voila. This last time, since I prefer smaller loaf, I doubled the recipe, cut the dough in half, baked one half and froze the other one.\ Enjoy!
