Maybe you're used to chrome plated sissy pistols. 11/10 +1 for the Budweiser. King of Beers, says so right on the can. |

If you got hate in your heart, let it out! I’ve got a crappy camera that doesn’t do well without a metric shit ton of light. Nonetheless, you CAN see the guns. Remember, a dinner pic is about the food. For you Budweiser haters:  Screw you, I like Budweiser. I drink other beers, too, but sometimes I just want an ice cold Bud.
ETA: That looks damn good. Did your wife make the rice from scratch? If so what is her recipe?
Nope. Box ‘o rice with some artistic license. Tasty, though. |

That looks damn good. Did your wife make the rice from scratch? If so what is her recipe? Wife's recipe: About the rice, I do some of the time make it from scratch. I take brown long grain rice, about a 1/4 cup of it and two tablespoons of real butter and brown in a skillet. Then add regular white rice, about 1/2 cup, (normally it's just my husband and I) then add two cups of water to it along with 14.5 ounce of can tomatoes, as well as, one regular fresh tomato, (diced) just for freshness. I will bring it to a boil then let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes. While it is simmering, I add fresh chopped green onions about 1/2 a cup, a dash of garlic powder, salt, black pepper or white pepper, (for effect), along with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and of course, a whole cup of El Pato sauce, (yellow label). Like I said in about 15-20 minutes it's done and really freakin' good. Hope this works well for ya. Cookin' requires tons of imagination. If you have some, no worries. Blessings. For the rest, first take two white potatoes chop into little squares and fry in light canola oil until soft and lightly brown. Then take half of a yellow onion chop very finely and simmer in a pan coated w/ light extra virgin olive oil. Throw in a lb of lean ground beef, simmer for about two minutes. Toss in a shake or two or Paprika, Garlic powder, Salt, Black Pepper, Cilantro and about 1/2 a can of yellow label El Pato sauce. Simmer while stirring for another ten minutes or so, until the beef is all cooked, then toss in the potatoes that you have already cooked. Cook until everything is all mixed together well and hot. Set the beef to the side. For the rice: Rice a Roni Spanish rice works really well if you are short on time. To give it that little extra something use fire roasted tomatoes instead of the crappy generic can kind. When all that is said and done, chop up some iceberg lettuce w/ purple cabbage and more fresh tomatoes for your garnish. I find that using Daisy sour cream or Knudson sour cream brings out the taste better than the local store brand sour cream, as well as, name brand four jack mexican cheese, preferably Tillamook or Sargento. Set your spread on on the tacos accordingly to how you prefer your tacos layered. Remember to sprinkle some cheese on top of the rice. Extra yum. Serve w/ your favorite chilles and or jalapenos, along w/ favorite beverage. Hope your tacos come out fantastic. If you a connoisseur of good grub anything you add to the dish will work out great. I used fire roasted peppers with spices and my husband thought it was delish. Anyway good luck. Remember a satisfied tongue, is a satisfied taco. |
