Has Your Cooking Improved.....?

I'd say my cooking has become tastier but less healthy. Mostly due to my discovery of the wonders of cream. And full fat cooking in general, which I almost never did in the states.

Hey Cakewench....this is the recipe I used for the sauce, although I couldn't quite make it exactly like the recipe. I didn't have tomato sauce, so used paste instead. I also used WAY too much chili powder......well I used two tablespoons.....but I guess the chili powder we have is way too strong. Anyway, I tweaked and tweaked, and it came out really yummy.

I did up some boneless skinless chicken breast with some onion, cumin, all seasoning, pepper, and a little bit of the enchilada sauce, as I'd made that first. The tortillas I did homemade as well, I just did white flour tortillas, with a handful of cornmeal thrown in for that corn taste. //

Elynor, I make tortillas all the time, we prefer homemade. We don't use a press. I'm glad you mentioned the masa in Sainsbury's, I've been tempted to buy it, but it's really expensive! Now I know better!

Flour, I don't use a recipe really, just mix some flour and add a bit of salt, baking powder, and a little oil, then mix all together with lukewarm water.

Is it flour tortillas or corn that you're not using a press for? I don't use a press for flour tortillas either, but I can't imagine making corn tortillas without one. I shall be extremely impressed if you do!

Yes, I've made corn tortillas, with masa, at my parents last time I was there. No, I didn't have a press. They were yummy! We did fish tacos. 

Thanks for sharing the recipe, DD!

I do miss having readily available corn tortillas around.    I could certainly make do with flour and my German husband would likely never notice the difference.
