Hi Dave,
RH> was in a National Guard (She retired with 21 years active duty in
RH> August.) unit that was heavily Mexican-American in the Phoenix area.
RH> They had a tamale making day every year around Christmas, stocking
RH> everybody`s freezers for the year. She gifted me with some a couple of
RH> times when we came out; I put them in the camper`s freezer until we got
RH> home and enjoyed them sporadically thru out the year.
DD> Enchiladas, now. That`s a different story.
RH> They`re good too, as are chimichangas. Probably my least favorite
RH> Mexican "street food" (hand held) would be tacos as they fall
RH> apart too easily with the crisp, corn shell. Makes a mess all over
RH> the place; I`d rather eat it at home, over a plate to catch the
RH> fall out.
DD> Don`t they give you a wrapper? You can use that as a "bib" for the
DD> taco. Or, if they offer it get a flour tortilla.
Actually, never had them as street food, but knowing how messy at home
tacos can be............ Given a choice, I`ll break up the taco shell
and make taco salad out of the fixin`s.
DD> Chimichanga is an American invention - even if by a Mexican chef.
DD> Monica Flin, the founder of the Tucson, Arizona, restaurant El Charro
DD> Cafe accidentally dropped a burrito into the deep-fat fryer in the
DD> early 1950s. She immediately began to utter a Spanish profanity
DD> beginning
DD> "chi..." (chingada), but quickly stopped herself and instead exclaimed
DD> chimichanga, a Spanish equivalent of "thingamajig".
I remember reading about it when we lived in AZ and Bill Clinton visited
El Charro. The restaurant publicised his visit and what he ate, also
making mention of the fact that they were the originators of the chimi.
We never ate there; there were good Mexican places in Sierra Vista that
were closer and less expensive. Chimichangas are also good baked
instead of fried, don`t get the extra caloris of the fat and yes, they
are crispy/crunchy.
DD> And thus began a "new" dish. I prefer my burritos as original. In a
DD> soft flour tortilla wrapper. If eating at a restaurant or at home -
DD> not in DD> the car or strolling down the boulevard I like a
chalupa. This recipe DD> is my reconstruction of the chalupa served at
Taco Grings
DD> Title: Loaded Beef Chalupas
DD> Categories: Beef, Breads, Vegetables, Greens, Chilies
DD> Yield: 4 Servings
Looks good, now I want some Mexican food. (G)
