Method

Chicken Quesadilla

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and cumin. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and shred the chicken.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of the cheese over it, then add a portion of shredded chicken and sprinkle with cilantro. Top with another tortilla.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.

Beef Tostada

  1. 5

    Cook the Beef

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 6

    Season the Beef

    Stir in chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Tostada

    On each tostada shell, layer cooked beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Top with sour cream and salsa as desired.

Rice

  1. 9

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 10

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, olive oil, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Refried Pinto Beans

  1. 11

    Cook the Onions and Garlic

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. 12

    Add Beans

    Add the drained pinto beans, cumin, and salt. Mash with a fork or potato masher until desired consistency is reached.
