Hey there, honey. You want some quick easy Mexican dishes? I got you. My family, they always hungry. They come in, “Mama, what’s for dinner?” So I gotta know some quick things, you know?
Tacos, of Course!
Tacos is easy. Everybody loves tacos. You just get them little shells, hard or soft, whatever you like. Then you fry up some ground beef. I like to put some of that taco seasoning in there. Makes it taste good.
- Ground beef, that’s the main thing.
- Them taco seasoning packets.
- Lettuce, gotta have some green.
- Tomatoes, if you got ’em.
- Cheese, the yellow kind.
You put the meat in the shell, then the lettuce and tomato and cheese. You can put other stuff, too. Sour cream, that’s good. Hot sauce if you like it hot. My old man, he loves that hot stuff. Burns my mouth, though! Quick easy Mexican dishes need to be simple, see?
Quesadillas, My Favorite
Now, quesadillas, those are real easy. You just take them big tortillas, the flour kind. And cheese! Lots of cheese.
You put the cheese on the tortilla. Then you fold it over. Like a big cheese sandwich. Then you fry it in a pan. A little butter in the pan, that makes it brown up nice. Fry it on both sides.
- Big tortillas, gotta be big enough to fold.
- Cheese, and lots of it!
- Butter, just a little for the pan.
When the cheese is all melted, you take it out. Cut it up in triangles. My grandkids, they love these. They eat ’em up so fast! Quick easy Mexican dishes are good for little ones.
Nachos, Good for a Crowd
Nachos, now those are good when you got a lot of people. You just take a big pan. And them tortilla chips, you know, the triangle ones. Spread ’em all out on the pan.
Then you put cheese on top. Lots of cheese. You can put other stuff, too. That ground beef, you can use that.
- A big pan, cookie sheet, whatever you got.
- Tortilla chips, the more the better.
- Cheese, cover them chips up good.
- Maybe some beans, if you like.
Then you put it in the oven. Bake it till the cheese is all melted and bubbly. Then you can put other stuff on top. Tomatoes, onions, that green stuff, cilantro. I don’t like that cilantro much, but some folks do. Quick easy Mexican dishes are good for sharing.
Burritos, Big and Filling
Burritos, them’s big. You take them big tortillas, even bigger than for quesadillas. And you put all kinds of stuff in there.
Rice, beans, meat. You can put that ground beef in there. Or chicken. Sometimes I use chicken. Whatever you got. And cheese, of course!
- The biggest tortillas you can find.
- Rice, I like the yellow kind.
- Beans, pinto beans are good.
- Meat, whatever you got leftover.
- Cheese, don’t forget the cheese!
You put all that stuff in the tortilla. Then you gotta roll it up. That’s the hard part. You gotta fold the ends in, then roll it up tight. So it don’t all fall out. I’m not very good at rolling. Mine always come apart. But they still taste good. That’s what matters. These quick easy Mexican dishes can be tricky to hold.
Chicken Fajitas
Oh, this one’s a good one. Real good. You ever heard of chicken fajitas? You take some chicken, cut it up. Not too small, though. Then you fry that chicken.
You also fry some onions, them big ones. And peppers. Them bell peppers. Red, green, yellow, whatever you got. I like all the colors.
You gotta have them fajita seasonings. Like the taco seasoning, but different. It’s good, though. Fry it all up together. Chicken, onions, peppers.
- Chicken, not too big, not too small.
- Onions, them big ones.
- Bell peppers, all the colors.
- Fajita seasoning, that’s important.
Then you eat it with them tortillas. Like tacos, but different. You put the chicken and peppers and onions in the tortilla. Roll it up. If you can, that is. Good stuff. Real good. These are some quick easy Mexican dishes that will make you feel full!
So there you go, honey. Some quick easy Mexican dishes. Hope you like ’em. They’re easy, and they’re good. That’s what matters, right? You don’t need nothing fancy. Just good, simple food. That’s what I always say.
