Spanish (or Mexican rather type dishes)

[Guest guest]

Several years ago I got a quesidilla maker thru our Christmas Gift Exchange at

work. It was about the best gift I ever got at something like that. It was

great. When I went vegan I had a hard time finding something that really worked

in the quesidillas. I found some soy cheeses that did 'okay' but never really

good and eventually stopped using the quesidilla maker. But you just add your

cheese and top with mushrooms, onions, olives, various peppers, etc. Whatever

you want. Cover with a little more cheese or soy cheese. And other wrap. Then

close the quesidella maker down until it is brown and crispy. Make sure to oil

the fryer well. I used a vegan butter-type spread that gave it a lot of flavor.

We'd also make mexican style rice to go with it.

Fajitas are another good mexican type food. We do them sometimes with the MSF

Steak-style strips, sometimes with a chicken type strip (i don't particularly

like the MSF ones in that flavor), sometimes just vegetables. Again add various

peppers, mushrooms, onion, squash, zuchinni etc. Whatever vegetables you like.

You can buy fajita seasonings to sprinkle on them while you are sauteing your

vegetables. You can add salsa, sour cream (I use tofutti), guacamole, etc

whatever your preference.

You can make tostadas. Get the flat crispy shells. Spread refried beans on

them. Top with cheese or soy cheese. Lettuce, tomato, onion, sour cream,

guacamole, and/or salsa. Whatever your preferences. You can make tacos with

hard or soft shells. You can use refried beans (this is what I used in college

when we had taco bar), black beans, ground veggie burger, whatever mix it up

from one time to the next to find what you like) and add taco seasoning, then

top with lettuce, tomato, onion, sour cream, guacamole, salsa etc.
