I think i'm going to make turkey enchiladas tonight.

oh man we've got a long way to go to make this the longest food thread ever....



I'm hungry I want pie... but I don't have pie so I guess I'll just have cereal.

the magic of longest ever threads is that they can be short.

i wonder if you could make tuna enchiladas.

hmm.

TUNA ENCHILADAS 

1 1/3 c. vegetable oil, divided
1-2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 (28 oz.) can enchilada sauce
1/2 tsp. cumin
2 1/2 tbsp. flour
2 1/2 tsp. cold water
2 tsp. chopped cilantro (optional)
2/3 c. onions, finely chopped
1/2 c. chopped ripe olives
4 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (9 1/4 oz.) can tuna, well drained
1 (12) pkg. fresh corn tortillas

1. Heat 1/3 cup oil in a saucepan and saute garlic lightly. Add enchilada sauce and cumin. Combine flour and water in a small bowl until smooth; add to sauce, stirring constantly. Heat sauce until thickened and smooth. Keep warm.
2. Combine cilantro, onions, olives, 2 cups of cheese and tuna. Blend lightly and set aside.

3. Heat 1 cup oil in skillet over moderate heat. Fry tortillas lightly, one at a time, until soft and flexible but NOT crisp. Dip into sauce to coat each side.

4. Pour 1/3 cup sauce into bottom of 13 x 9 x 2 inch casserole dish or pan. Fill each heated sauced tortilla with 1/2 to 2/3 cup of tuna filling mix. Roll each and place seam side down in single layer in the casserole dish.

5. Sprinkle remaining cheese over enchiladas and cover with 1 1/2 cups of sauce.

6. Cover with a bubble of foil. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. When hot and bubbly, serve with remaining sauce. Serves: 6-8.

cheddar in enchiladas? i thought you were supposed to use monterey jack.

I was going to say that they make fish tacos so why not tuna enchiladas?

But I am not so sure about tuna enchilada :-\\ :-\\ :-\\  (I just think of tuna salad with enchilada sauce on top 8-P)

The longest food I've ever seen was probably a party-sized sandwich, from Subway. :o :D ;D

Just had a pre lunch pie... ::)

I just had a quesadilla and nachos for dinner.  Totally healthy, right? ;)

I just had a salad and two pop tarts.  Yes, I know it's a weird combo. ::)

i made the turkey enchiladas last night. it was an adventure because i was trying to synthesize two recipes at the same time and halve one (make half as much as the recipe called for). i was trying to get rid of a pound and a half of turkey and i made .75 pound worth of missouri burgers and 10 turkey enchiladas with the other .75.

the turkey enchiladas were really good but i added too much of something, i think it was cumin. the only two spices i added were cumin, to the turkey/monterey jack combo, and chili powder, which i added to the sauce. (you want to slather sauce on the inside of the tortillas, i didn't have the ingredients for the recipe so i just chopped up half a tomato, added enough canned tomato soup to give it consistency, and seasoned it with chili powder. in retrospect, i could have safely added some picante or salsa and had enough to do all the enchiladas with a healthy dose of sauce.)

anyway, it was fun but i pretty much didn't leave the kitchen once all last night, until i wearily ate the enchiladas and then passed out from exhaustion.  :D

the missouri burgers aren't done yet. the idea behind them is that you make burger patties and then, before frying them, you season them with a delicious combo of honey mustard and various herbs and spices -- garlic and onion powder, basil, that kind of thing. but the seasonings make the patty so it doesn't hold together well, it's very crumbly. so after i put together the spices with the turkey i baked it real lightly, like 150 degrees or so, for about 5 minutes or so, until it gets a consistency almost like refried beans, very smooth. (i actually did it because one of the ingredients is brown sugar and it went in kinda lumpy so i wanted to melt it.) but i think part of the problem is if you shape the patties while they're raw the components are all separated so it stays discrete even after you cook the patties. with the light baking, the patties should have a soft, integrated consistency but still be cool to the touch. (obviously baking raw meat presents a danger factor so make sure not to do it too long. you're just trying to soften everything up.)

then, here's the coup de grace... you freeze it! overnight! right now i got three missouri turkey patties in the freezer and when i make em (i don't think i'm gonna feel it tonight, could be a new years day thing) i'm gonna slap that frozen patty right on to a hot pan! i think between the pre-baking and flash-frying the frozen patty it'll hold together, but i haven't tested it yet. 8)

after eating five of these things i've decided that making enchiladas out of turkey is fudgeing nasty. learn from my mistakes.

8-P

You had to eat FIVE to figure that out? 

Tia, I had no idea you could cook.  I'm very impressed. 

I can cook a few things myself. :)

my bean and ham soup got good reviews, the pot is almost empty. I'm taking some for lunch tomorrow with cornbread  ;)

yeah, it took five cuz they're sorta good, too. i dunno, i'm confused. i think i might just be burned out on enchiladas.

yeah, cooking's fun, it's been a while since i had my own kitchen so i'm trying to make the most of it.

For the past 11 years, in our household, it has been a tradition to cook a cranberry-apple french toast breakfast for New Year's; it always comes out tasty each time. :)

i need a random cream-of-chicken soup recipe i can make that doesnt require a lot of other ingredients.

We'll be sure to keep an eye out for some!

I would suggest maybe buying a can in the store and heating the contents of it...but maybe that might be considered cheating. :-\\

I am craving an Uncle Burger from A&W right now which is weird because I just had a 10pc McNuggets w/ Fries from McDonalds :D

BBQ is on the menu tomorrow

i made chili mac. dice half a tomato, mix it with a third of a can of tomato soup and add a splash of salsa and picante, mixed with skillet-browned ground beef, meanwhile make some mac and cheese but halve the amount of cheese you put in to make up for the heaviness of the beef tomato sauce, add bread crumbs and bake for 20 minutes at 350, then add the beef-tomato sauce at the very end. tasty stuff.

yeah, with the cheese it's damn heavy, i can only eat a smidge of it at a time. but damn, it's good.

last night, pan-fried chicken in cream of chicken over rice with assorted herbs and spices. no cheese!

Sounds like it might be tasty!! I'd like to give it a try sometime.

maybe cut down on the overall amount of cheese?

I actually make mine on the stove..... and no bread crumbs...

here you go

- add one diced onion to .75 - 1lb ground beef (preferably 94% - 97% lean)
- brown the beef and onions and then drain.
- Make macaroni (IMO the elbow style is better than tiny kraft style)
- add the cheese if you want
- add 2 8 oz cans of tomato paste (not sauce) plus 2 8 oz cans of water
- add beef
- stir all and let simmer on stove
- salt & pepper to taste

enjoy mass quantities.

well this seems wrong somehow.

http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/food/strangest-new-food-concept-cooking-with-semen-347495/

"Semen is not only nutritious, but it also has a wonderful texture and amazing cooking properties," the book's description goes. "Like fine wine and cheeses, the taste of semen is complex and dynamic. Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and restaurants. Despite all of these positive qualities, semen remains neglected as a food. This book hopes to change that."

And, yes, it appears to be a real book, and a second edition is already on the way.

Right off the bat, you get a recipe for a cocktail (a White Russian, naturally):

2 oz. vodka
1 oz. coffee liqueur
cream or milk
ice cubes
1/2 oz. semen



and a question from the book's comment thread...
