With the February ***SPECIAL*** “Foods You Love” Throwdown going on now, (Link: https://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4553210#post4553210) I decided to make something I “Love!”, Fajitas. Here are the bell peppers, onions and the rub. (Recipe for the rub can be found here...

Sorry for the delayed posting. With all the Holiday festivities and me working between Christmas and NYE I’m just now getting around to posting this. I gave my niece the choice of what she wanted for Christmas Eve dinner as she is a new mother. She chose tamales which is a tradition around these...

Decided to make Chicken Enchiladas for Memorial Day. (One of my wife’s favorites) Started out making up the Verde sauce. Roasted most everything. (Corn in the back) Tomatillos and onions go straight into the blender. Skinned and seeded the peppers and everyone into the pool for a spin. Add...

Decided to splurge for our Super Bowl meal and decided on Enchiladas. Enchiladas Verde con Pollo are my favorite so I pan grilled up some chicken breasts and pulled them. After this a roasted up some tomatillos, a pabalno / pasilla pepper, some jalapenos and an onion. Once that was...

As there is a “Soups, Stews & Chili!” Throwdown going on right now and the weather had finally turned cool, I wanted to make something (Link: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4407311#post4407311) Having just got back from spending a week with my brother and sister in-law in...

I’ve been away on vacation for the last week visiting relatives up in Reno. While we were there, I made one of our favorite quick and easy dinners by grilling up some of this Chile Lime Chicken Breast we buy at Costco. Now that we’re back, I wanted to make another of our favorites. Anybody...

I made another batch of chicken fajitas yesterday. Wasn’t intending to post it so only took picture with my phone and didn’t really take a lot of care in how my picture would look. Now I decide to post it and here are the pictures I did take. First off, this a repeat of my cook from last month...

The wife and I are doing the Weight Watchers program so I’m eating quite a bit differently that I did in the past. This was cooked inside on the stove top, but thought I’d share it anyway. (As it was delicious!) Ingredients: cooking spray (I used some Red Pepper infused OO spray) 1 medium...

There’s a special Throwdown going on to honor our departed Brethren, Diesel Dave. I had to participate in this. As I’m am partial to Mexican food, I decided on Huevos Rancheros. Started out making the sauce by sautéing some onions and bell pepper. Once they had started to wilt, I added...

I love Tacos al pastor but have never made them myself. They are a popular street food here in SoCal and Mexico. With the “I Love Big Butts” Throwdown going on I finally decided to try my hand at making some. Forgive me as this is a long one. I started out by thawing a Pork Butt I had in the...

Decided to make Chicken Enchiladas again on Sunday. (One of my wifes favorites) Started out making up the verde sauce. Here are most of the ingredients. Roasted most everything. Tomatillos go straight into the blender. Other items need to go inside to be cleaned up. Everyone into the pool...

Carne Asada Tacos are one of my favorite things to make and eat. I make them at least once a month and sometimes many more than that. Today I started by making a fresh batch of Pico de Gallo. Recipe is here: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=236459&highlight=pico+gallo...

Where the hell has DerHusker been? :confused: You may or may not have been asking yourself this question but even if you haven’t, the answer is here. Every year starting in October I get busy doing an animated Christmas light display synced to music :crazy: and that consumes many many hours of...

Since Pasilla peppers were on sale and there is a “Chiles!” Throwdown going on I just had to make Chile Rellenos. I’ve made these before and posted the recipe and method so I’ll keep this a little short and just post some links to the recipes for those that care about that. Rellenos...

This is one of my favorite fast meals. I buy this seasoned skirt steak at Costco. Fire up the grill. Cut the skirt steak into more manageable pieces and cook them up until they just start to get some char on them. Bring them in and cut each piece across the grain into taco size pieces...

Appetizers come in so many forms. One appetizer dish that is served at many restaurants is Nachos. I wanted to make some but push it up a notch or 2 with Deluxe Carne Asada Nachos. First I picked up some fresh tortilla chips at the local tortilleria. (Note: Esperanza’s is where I get all my...

Last weekend I made some enchiladas verde con pollo along with some Mexican rice. I’ve made the enchiladas and rice lots of times and have already posted the recipes here (See links) so I’m just posting the pictures of this cook with little commentary...

Father’s day was a hot day out here in So (Lo) Cal. I wanted to cook something different but something both the wife and MIL would eat as well. Flap meat is a lesser known cut of beef although it’s fairly popular here in the So (Lo) Cal area. Many markets sell it thinly sliced plain or...

I was challenged to cook up something without meat. It needed to include Tofu, :twitch: Apple, Corn and Sriracha. I must admit I’ve never made tofu and hardly ever eat it. That may change after eating this dish. I started thinking about what I could make and came up with some ways I could use...
