Chupaqueso Taco Salad at Home


It had been a while since we had made use of the chupaqueso, so we decided to make some chupaqueso taco salads. We only had mozzerella, however, instead of the Mexican blend cheese we usually use, and it did not crisp up as well as the blend does. It was still tasty, however.

Chupaqueso Tacos!

We had some vegetarians for dinner, and decided that there's nothing better than make-your-own tacos for the gastronomical pleasure of carnivores and herbivores alike.


The Whole Spread
Diced Chicken
-8 chicken thighs, diced
-2 tb taco seasoning

Toss chicken in seasoning and sautee until browned.

Lime Shrimp
-1 lb shrimp, halved
-juice of 1/2 lime
-salt to taste

Sautee the shrimp until just pink, then season with salt and spritz with lime.

Creamy Spicy Corn
-2 cans sweet corn, drained
-1 cup cream
-1 ts cayenne
-1 ts salt

Simmer the corn in the rest of the ingredients until all the liquid has evaporated.

Chard
-1 bunch chard, chopped
-salt and pepper to taste

Sautee the chard until tender and bright green.

Homemade Guacamole

Serve the above with chopped black olives, tomato, cheese, sour cream and salsa in a soft tortilla or a chupaqueso taco shell (below).




Chupaqueso Taco Shells
This was even tastier than we expected. Just make the chupaquesos and fold in half and set aside to harden slightly. Click here for a how to video of making the basic chupaqueso.

A Light Breakfast Chupaqueso

This may not seem like a light breakfast to some, but for us it seemed that way because it included something other than bacon and eggs. This was a chupaqueso shell topped with a scrambled egg, chopped hard salami, chopped tomatoes and chopped basil.

Variations on Chupaqueso

Ah, how we love the chupaqueso. There's not much better than fried cheese. And fried cheese as a vehicle for other ingredients is even more delicious. Click here for a video demo on how to make the chupaqueso. This week we made some Homemade Guacamole, then topped out chupaquesos with nothing more than various meats and guacamole

It's been a while since we've made one of these, and sometimes you forget just how good fried cheese can be. This particular version of a chupaqueso makes a great meal at breakfast, lunch or dinner and takes only about 10 minutes to make. This chupaqueso was topped with a fried egg, tomato, avocado, salami, , onion, greek yogurt and hot sauce. Click here for a video demo on how to make a chupaqueso.

Chupaqueso
After our snacks and drinks at the bar watching football, a quick dinner was in order. But by the time it was cooked Giao was already asleep.

Dinner at Home


Chupaqueso Taco Salad
A great Friday night meal that takes little time to prepare and is fairly straight forward, a necessity after a couple of after work, Friday night drinks.

For recipes for homemade guacamole and the taco meat, click here. I use ground turkey as a healthier alternative to ground beef.
