I had invited a friend over to watch the final State of Origin Game. Now I have to admit that I am no fan of football. But what I am a fan of is having an excuse to cook up unhealthy(ish), delicious food mid week. First up on the menu were lime marinated chicken wings:
Might I say that these wings tasted amazing and were really easy to prepare (you can find the recipe here on the Food Network website). I followed the recipe as far as making the marinade, but instead of "broiling" the chicken as the recipe suggested, I baked them in the oven for around 30 minutes (turning them over half way through) at 180°C. The recipe also suggested serving these delicious wings with an avocado dip, but why you would serve them with a boring dip when you could serve them with my Guacaholymole is beyond me.
Here's What you'll need to make Guacaholymole:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cove of garlic, crushed or thinly sliced
- 1 small tomato, diced
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 1 lime, juiced
- chili flakes
- Salt and pepper
- 2 Tbsp Coriander, chopped
Next up, right in time for kickoff, were vegetarian enchiladas:
For the filling, I cooked up a vegetarian chili (found here on Taste, a website that I have found really handy in the past as there are loads of recipes listed here). The best thing about this chili is that you can do so much with the leftovers. You can make nachos, have it on toast, or (my personal favourite) use it as a delicious filling for a stuffed spud. I also added a can of corn into the mix, just for some extra sweetness.
To make the enchiladas (and this is a very simplified version), spoon the mixture into tortillas and roll up to enclose the filling. As the filling will be warm from just being cooked on the stove top, all you need to do is place the enchiladas on a tray, sprinkle with grated cheese and bake in the oven until cheese is melted and tortillas have started to brown. Serve with a good dollop of Guacaholymole on top.
Made the enchiladas ( but with mince for primitive boy consumption) topped with your holy guacamole. Smiles and silence all round as was ravenously ingested!
