Beef Fajitas

Fajitas is a popular dish at Mexican restaurants all over Texas and perhaps other states too. It is my husband’s favorite dish to order everytime we go to Mexican restaurants and then he compares whose is better. I don’t ever see him order something different other than fajitas. Fajita is the beef’s “skirt” similar toContinue reading “Beef Fajitas”

Smothered Beef in Gravy

This is about the same as steak fingers except you let the meat simmer and tenderize in the milk gravy after browning them a little. The meat is pan-fried so you use just a little oil. This is a popular Southern dish. Procedure:

Stuffed Bell Peppers

(A “Filipinized” version) I was kind of hungry for stuffed bell pepper and it just so happened the bell peppers were on sale so I bought a few thinking to cut them up and freeze them to use later but decided to use some for the stuffed peppers. Then I remembered my husband had toldContinue reading “Stuffed Bell Peppers”

Beef with Mushrooms Stir Fry

Black pepper 1 yellow onion thinly sliced ProvoloneContinue reading “Quesadillas-Philly Steaks”

Picadilyo sa Patatas

Picadillo-Filipino (Picadillo with Potatoes or Giniling at Patatas) This dish is so Filipino even though there are also Mexican versions of the same. I think the major difference is the addition of Cumin in the Mexican picadillo which Filipinos don’t use ordinarily. But this dish is one of my comfort foods I like to cookContinue reading “Picadilyo sa Patatas”

Chile Poblano Casserole

Using Picadillo or Ground Beef This is my own version/concoction of Chile Relleno made as a casserole. I thought of doing it this way because Chile Relleno is not easy to prepare and it makes a lot of mess, at least for me. It satisfied my craving for Chile Relleno without the mess. Ingredients: Procedure:Continue reading “Chile Poblano Casserole”
