Great Mexican food tastes fresh and clean, which is what I have tried to maintain in tomorrows menu items.
Not all "Mexican food" is refried beans and sour cream, and neither are featured on my menu for Thursday, I am sure you will approve of my client's choices;
Menu for Thursday:
Spicy vegetable soup with baked lime tortilla chips
( cut the corn tortillas into 6 triangles, spray with fresh water and a squeeze of lime juice and bake for 20 mins at 375f..until they begin to curl..cool on a wire and serve with soups/dips)
Chilled avocado & cilantro soup
(the orig, recipe was a raw soup with sour cream, I have adapted mine to be a cooked soup of potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, leeks, coconut milk,Blended then stored overnight... lime zest, cilantro and fresh avocados to be blended in tomorrow)
Vegetable soup with lime and roasted sweetcorn, (I also added cabbage and scallions..this will be sent with a fresh lime to be squeezed over the hot soup at client's home)
Watermelon, papaya & jicama salad...this is a very refreshing salad and can be served with chili powder and fresh cheese
A green bean and zucchini toastada with feta cheese ( traditionally served with queso fresco but that is made with cow's milk, I am using sheep's milk feta instead) toastada is a crispy, fried corn tortilla
3 types of enchillada:
SPICY Vegetable filled tortillas & cheese baked in a sauce
A spicy cheese and spinach enchilada in a mole sauce ( cinnamon, chocolate and ground pumpkin seeds with chili) in corn tortillas
I also added potatoes and cabbage to give it more depth
A spicy Vegetable enchiladas with cheese with zucchini, purple and white potatoes, onions, garlic in flour tortillas, in a tomato-cinnamon sauce
A non-spicy vegetable and cheese enchilada with purple and baby white potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, in corn tortillas
A green chili cornbread with scallions and roasted corn
Coconut & raisin cookies
own grown sprouts & Spiralinalak ( rye rejuvelak with added spiralina)...
more info and photos to follow tomorrow when ORDERS are UP
