  The other day I made us some tasty Mexican Scrambled Eggs for our lunch/supper.  We both enjoy Tex Mex flavours, and do enjoy a meal such as this every now and then. Quick each and incredibly delicious as well as being quite colourful!    I decided to make my own tortillas for this.  I have a recipe of my own that I have been making for many years now. I started doing this back in the 1980's when mexican ingredients were not all that readily available.  You can get that recipe here .   My family loved my enchiladas and I started making my own tortillas so that I could make them enchiladas from my leftover turkey and other roasts. I had seen this recipe however on Pinterest from Cafe Sucre Farine.   I really wanted to try it.  They looked really good and I know that blog has a great reputation for producing good food.    I decided to use their recipe to make tortillas to serve with my Mexican Eggs.      The re...

  One thing that my family always wanted me to do after we cooked a holiday beast (turkey) was to make enchiladas with the leftovers. I have to say that it was one of their favourite leftover meals. My original recipe I clipped out of a Sunset magazine back in the 1980's and I have to say it was pretty basic and simple.    Cooking Tex Mex over here has always been a bit of a challenge. When my friend Eliza came over from Arizona one time, she brought all kinds of tex mex stuff with her.  We made Tamales, Cheese Enchiladas, Mexican Chocolate Tart, and Tacos.  She had green enchilada sauce for the cheese enchiladas, something which I never thought I would see over here in the UK, until now!    TADA!  I discovered this on Ocado last week.  (Ocado is an online supermarket).  I bought myself a few jars and some of the green chili salsa as well!  I  am set to go!   Of course I had to make some enchiladas with our leftover turkey...

  This is a deliciously simple supper dish that I have had in my wait queue for a very long time. I don't know why it has taken me so long to post it.  I guess life got in the way!    I enjoy a real love affair with Tex Mex food.  When I first moved over here it was very difficult to find anything Tex Mex, and ingredients to make your own dishes were few and far between.    I used to bring my own chili powder and taco seasoning, etc. back with me when I came back to the UK after Canadian visits.  I learnt to make my own seasoning mixes as well, using what I had to hand.   Thankfully it is a lot easier to find Tex Mex ingredients over here nowadays.  I think we have Thomasina Meirs to thank for that.  She won the BBC Master Chef competition back in 2005 and was instrumental in introducing Tex Mex flavours to the UK and the contest with her innovative style and her love of Mexico and its food.   Tex Mex ingredients are not as har...
