This post is a blast from 2017- when I featured this post on LA-Story.com. Labor Day 2018 seemed like the perfect time to get busy with making some simple Mexican dishes for your Labor Day celebrations!
I was provided a fair amount of recipes and am only featuring 3 here- but they are 3 terrific ones!
Fideo:
Fideo is a dish with vermicelli noodles in a creamy tomato and cumin-flavored broth.
Ingredients
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 (5-ounce) box of fideo vermicelli noodles
1/2 cup tomato sauce (which is 1/2 of a 14.5 ounce can)
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Sauté onion in olive oil on medium heat.
Once onion is pearly and translucent, add in the noodles. NOTE: Don’t expect the noodles to soften completely yet.
Sauté them until they are a bit softer. They change colors quickly, so continue sautéing the noodles until you reach the toastiness you like.
Add in tomato sauce and water. Stir continuously. Raise the heat to high.
Add in salt, cumin and garlic. Stir!
Once it starts to bubble and boil, lower the heat to simmer.
Carefully taste the broth.
Let it simmer about 7-8 minutes until creamy and thick. Stir often.
NOTE: Watch it closely because you do not want to cook off all of your broth before your noodles are done. You want the noodles to cook until completely softened, but don’t let them burn.
It’s ready when the noodles are completely soft.
Borracho Beans
Borracho beans are pinto beans that have been cooked with peppers, onion and tomatoes! We recommend you try these beans with Mexican rice and flour tortillas.
Ingredients
- 6 cups cooked pinto beans and liquid (or 1 recipe of our Pinto Beans)
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1 medium onion (preferably sweeter varieties like Walla Walla or Vidalia), diced
- 3 to 6 Serrano peppers (depending how picoso/spicy you want it ), diced
- 1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
Directions
- Add the pinto beans, onion, tomato, and chiles into a medium-large pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and allow to cook for 45 minutes at a rapid simmer, stirring often.
- Lower heat, add chopped cilantro, and allow to simmer on low for 15 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
