While digging in the archives (my memory card), I've come across a lot of stuff I made, drank or ate, that I never got around to posting. I think I'm gonna set aside a certain day every week to blog about such things.
My pop's woman made this tasty little number. She's Guatemalan but she couldn't tell me if this dish has a name or if it's even indigenous to her motherland. No matter. Although, I think my narrow-minded dad didn't like it, I did. She fried tortillas til they were toasty and topped them with lettuce, pickled red cabbage, a ground beef mixture and topped it with hard boiled eggs and grated semi-salty cheese. I liked the dish but I wish we had some sort of salsa to drizzle over the top. And while the egg was nice, I think a soft boiled egg, poached egg or fried egg would have been better. Maybe the runny yolk would have filled the void of not having a sauce on the tostada for me. But I'm just splitting hairs. I'd gladly eat this again, as is.
Lol! The Guatemalans in my family call this dish Enchiladas. It's quite a different enchilada but an acquired good tasty dish.
ReplyDeleteDang baby, these look good!! I want some!!
ReplyDeleteSure, I'll give you some! Afterwards, we can eat some of these! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the clarification, Crispy...I mean, Chrisp!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, despite the fact that they were somewhat bitter due to the cabbage, they were quite good. I don't mind bitter.
