Ok so here is one for ideas. One thing that is yummy and not so healthy in some ways is mini potato tacos. This is totally hispanic but it is pretty inexpensive.
For the tacos you need:
Corn tortillas (soft ones)
Mashed potoatos (be it instant or real)
Cheese (your prefered kind)
Oil
For the Salsa:
3-4 roma tomatos
2-3 tomatillosFresh Garlic
Japanese Chilies (They come in little dried packets in the hispanic section and they are small and red)
Salt
First take your ingredients for the salsa except for the chilies and the salt and put them in a pot with a little water, cover and simmer on low.
While that is simmering heat up your tacos in a pan. (warm up the pan and cook both sides of the taco so they are soft and warm or hot) You want to heat them up so that they are soft enough to fold into tacos. Put the heated tacos inside a towel to keep them warm. At the same time heat up a pan with oil in it to fry the tacos. When the oil it ready take your tacos and fill them with cheese and potoatos. I know this sounds like a wheird combination but it is really yummy. Fry the tacos and pull out and set them on a paper towel.
For the salsa once the salsa seems pretty cooked and soft put all of the ingreidents into the blender. If you want not very spicy salsa only use one chilie. If you would like a little more spice in your life use a little more but beware they are pretty hot if you get just the right one. Salt to prefered taste and blend in blender. (If you have a plastic top for your blender it would be better to use a plate as the lid so some of the steem can get out....learning from experience if you don't you could have one great explosion:)Note: if you want tomatillo salsa instead use more tomitillos instead of roma tomatos.
Then once finished cooking tacos and Salsa is finished salsa up your tacos and enjoy!!!If you have any questions let me know. I know there are not really exacts on things but this is authentic so you know how those kind of recipies go. I got it from a lady in our branch when I helped her make these and when I asked her for amounts she said whatever I wanted!!! Got to love those kinds of recipies leaves room for the imagination :D I guess!?#@!!
