Spicy Chicken Tortilla Wraps with Mexican Rice

I have only these words of warning for you:

Lots of tomato puree.
Lots of onion.
Lots of spice.

If you're not a fan of either of those, please go look at another milder, less tomatoey recipe. This one here is not what you want.

For those who do love Mexican food (albiet a bit desi style) you'll use this recipe again and again. Seriously. It's long. Has a lot of steps but it's pretty simple and completely worth it. Also, those leftovers omg.

Method

1. Chicken: Oil a pan and add the garlic. Fry until it starts turning golden then add the chicken chunks. Add salt, red chili, cumin, paprika and lemon juice. Mix well and add the tomato puree. Cook until chicken is tender. Set aside for later.


2. Chop the capsicum and onion. Shred the cheese, we'll use it for topping in the end. Gather the rest of the ingredients needed for the filling and set them in one place; makes it easier to assemble the wraps.



3. For the enchilada sauce, you'll have to be careful that it doesn't stick to the pan, form lumps or thicken like glue. It's exactly like a normal roux sauce, just red. And very spicy. Add oil or ghee to a nonstick pan and add the flour little by little. Have the flame on very low heat and mix until flour is properly incorporated. Add the seasoning and stock. Mix well and let it cook on low flame until sauce starts to thicken. Cook until it forms into a spreadable consistency: not too thick, not too thin.



4. Oil a wok, fry the garlic and onion until gold in color. Add the rice and toast for 2 minutes. Keep stirring so the uncooked rice doesn't stick. Add the puree (you can use more than half cup if you like the flavor very strong) and the stock. Simmer for a couple minutes then add the corn kernels and beans. Season and bring to a boil then cover with a lid and cook on low heat until rice is done.



5. Now for the assembly. Toast the tortillas (2-3 mins on each side) until soft. Spread the sour cream or dip, spread the red enchilada sauce and a little bit of lime juice on each. Start layering each tortilla like this: add the chicken, top with capsicum, onion, beans, corn, cheese and roll it. Serve warm with the rice.

Mango Chaat

I hate fruits. Yes, even mangoes. I mean... I'll eat mangoes, or lychee or pomegranate but only if force fed. Pls don't throw those eggs at me, it's not my fault. I was born like this. I think I'm missing an important piece in my brain/nervous system so pls. Stop with the judgy. That random HOW-DARE-YOU-EVEN-EXIST-YOU-HEATHEN tidbit aside, everyone else I know is insaaaaaane about mangoes. Thought I'd try this on poor innocent guests and the family loved it too. If you're a fruit person (of course you are), try it! ( Original recipe I took from @spicespoon's Instagram , adjusted it a little bit here). Ingredients 1 cup Mango (diced) 2 cups Chickpeas (boiled and cooled) 2 tbsp Tomato (finely diced) ½ Onion (finely diced) 6 Mint Leaves (julienned) Mint Leaves (for garnish) Dressing 4 lemons Lemon Juice 1 tsp Brown Sugar ½ tsp Salt ½ tsp Red Chilli Powder ¼ tsp Red Chilli Flakes Method: Combine all ingredients under 'dressing&#

Meat Lasagna with Red & White Sauce.

I've always been irritated with the lasagna recipes I find online. They use 10,000 kinds of cheese that I either don't like or can't buy here in Pakistan. And even if they were available, why would I spend thousands of rupees on something that won't even last one night? Okay, I know you foodies are probably having a heart attack while reading this but come on. You HAVE to be practical when you're cooking at home. So, I decided to try the local stuff. I mean, why the hell not? Only so much could go wrong. But oh. My. GOD . This turned out so well. This recipe is amazing. Seriously, if you're a meat lover like me who likes her pasta drowning in sauce, HAVE THIS. It's... just try it. I promise you, you'll love it. Ingredients                                             Meat Sauce Minced/ Ground Meat ½ kg Garlic 4 cloves Onion 1 (finely chopped) Salt ¼ tsp B. Pepper ¼ tsp
