Mexican Night!
Sombreros, piñatas and tequila at the ready....well, perhaps forget the tequila on grounds of liver abuse...
Themed meal nights are a great way of getting in the mood to go out, celebrating someone's birthday, or simply just to save money on food by sharing the costs with your flatmates!
Yes, enchiladas and quesadillas covered in oozing cheese may not be the most artery-kind choice, but to critics, I say: We had salad on the side so NERRR.
It's unlikey that authentic Mexican cuisine would be prepared in this way, just as I'm almost certain that the Chinese don't eat crispy duck pancakes and drown everything in toxically gelatinous sweet and sour sauce 24/7. But to us blissfully unaware Brits, the basis of most Mexican based dishes consist of pretty similar ingredients, so if you're contemplating a Mexican feast then you'll definitely need:
 |
| In case you ever wondered...THIS is what an entire block's worth of cheese in grated form looks like! |
Flour tortilla wraps
Chicken
Spice mix/marinade
Peppers
Sweetcorn
Onion
Tomato relish/purée
Cheese...and plenty of it!
 |
| Fry all raw ingredients off in a wok |
A spot of fancy handwork is about the trickiest skill required, so any origami pro's may wish to take this opportunity to boast their skills. Enchiladas need to be filled and rolled in the same style as a fajita would be, however placed in a baking dish, covered in sauce and cheese, then further reheated. Quesadilla's can be folded, flattened then fried in a pan on the stove, almost like a festive equivalent of the humble old toastie. Arriba!
