Beef Salad Bell Pepper Green Onion Tomatillo

I honey Mexican cuisine. Something about the spice and citrus flavors remind me of my ain heritage's cuisine—though, in a completely dissimilar calorie-free.

Lucky for me, I alive in an expanse where Mexican and Spanish ingredients are readily bachelor for my culinary experiments. Plus, the BF has become quite expert to making some stellar salsas and pico de gallos

One night, nosotros decided to endeavor our hand with tomatillos. It is, afterwards all, my goal for 2010 to melt with ingredients I've never tried before. Then we headed to our local Mexican grocer, Mercados Suvianda in San Jose, California to pick upward some supplies. Sure, this trusted institution has their own assortment of pre-marinated proteins to choose from. Still, I was up for the challenge and wanted to marinate my own carne asada with chipotle peppers.

The overall results? Muy Bueno!!! Of course, I think salsas get better over time. And in fact, our Tomatillo Salsa and Pico de Gallo improved after each twenty-four hour period. We opted to cook the Tomatillo Salsa a flake to mellow out the "dark-green"—near "not yet ripe" flavor that it has. That selection proved quite successful. Equally for the beef, I was quite heavy handed with the chipotle peppers. Therefore, if you like a less "smoky" flavor, decrease the amount to only i.5-2 ounces of the peppers.

We were quite pleased with our midweek Mexican eats. And since nosotros knew exactly what was going in information technology—it was all fairly salubrious. Whole-wheat tortillas, good fats from the avocado, moderate amounts of beef, tons of veggies. And that'south the key to balanced eating. Fresh, bright, flavors volition make you a balanced foodie 🙂
