My boyfriend loves Mango so I thought that it would make the bread taste even better if I add Mango to it and it turns out pretty good and it becames one of our favorite dessert so give it an try and let me know what you think about it. It may not look very pretty but I can assure you that it taste good. Enjoy :D

•2 Cups all purpose flour
•1 Cups sugar
•1/2 Teaspoon salt
•2 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
•3 Eggs, slightly beaten
•3/4 Cup vegetable oil (not olive oil)
•2 Cups finely chopped mango
•1/2 Cup chopped pecan or walnuts
•1 Tablespoon lime juice
•1/2 Cup raisins (optional)
Directions:

Combine the flour, sugar, salt, ground cinnamon and the 3 eggs in a large bowl. Make a well in center of dry ingredients, combine the eggs and oil, stirring until just moistened. Stir in chopped mango, pecan or walnuts and lime juice. Add raisins if you want. Spoon batter into 2 greased/floured loaf pans, preferably medium size. Bake at 375 °F (medium-hot oven) for approximately 45 minutes to an hour or until a knife inserted in the bread comes out clean. Cool loaves in pans on wire racks for about 10minutes. Remove the loaves from the pans and let them cool completely on the wire racks.

I would personally suggest that if you like milk, serve some in a glass and enjoy every bite of this mango bread.

Mexican Rice

Hey folks!!
I got an mexican rice recipe for you. I do it differently than all other rice recipes. I stir the tomato,onion, and garlic clove puree in for 8 minutes after the rice is lightly fried then I add the water. I also turn my stove off after I pour the water in and stirred it and let it simmer on its own. Enjoy!!


Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups (375 ml) long-grain white rice
1 cup (1/2 lb) tomatoes, un-skinned, finely chopped
1/4 small white onion, roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
1/3 cup oil
3 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup frozen pea and carrots, (use as much or little as you want)
1 tbsp or 1 cube of either chicken or tomato with chicken flavor bouillon
salt to taste


Pour enough hot water to cover the rice in a bowl and let it stand for about 10 minutes. Drain the rice and rinse well in cold water, then shake the colander well and leave the rice to drain again. Put the tomatoes, onion, and garlic into a blender jar and blend until smooth. Set aside. Heat the oil over medium high heat in a big sauce pan. Give the rice a final shake and stir it into the oil until the grains are well covered, then fry until just the grains turn a light brown color. This process should take about 10 minutes. Tip the pan to one side and drain off any excess oil.

Stir in the tomato puree and fry, scraping the bottom of the dish to prevent sticking, until the puree has been absorbed--about 8 minutes.Pour in the 3 1/2 cup of water and add the pea and carrots and season with the bouillon and salt. Stir lightly and bring to an boil then turn off the stove and cover the saucepan. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. When done,use an folk to fluff the rice mixture and serve it with anything.

Chicken Enchiladas in Green Sauce

Hello everybody :D I want to share some of my recipes to you guys so please enjoy. If you got any ideas or questions,please free feel to leave comments and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks :D
Ingredients: Serves 2

• 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cooked and shredded
• 6 homemade or store brought corn tortillas
• 1/3 cup oil or lard for frying tortillas
• 1 tbsp oil for the sauce
• 1/3 cup fresh homemade chicken broth
• 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
• quesco fresco or any other white cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

Green Sauce Ingredients:

• 3 medium to large tomatillos
• 4 jalapeno's
• 1/4 onion
• 1 garlic clove
• water
• small handful of cilantro

Put the chicken breasts or thighs in a sauncepan with enough water to cover them. You can put 1/4 onion in there too if you wanted. Bring to an boil then simmer for 15-30 minutes depending on youe stove. My stove only take 15 minutes to cook the chicken. While the chicken is cooking, put everything except cilantro under the Green Sauce Ingredients in a saucepan with enough water to cover them. Bring that to an boil then simmer for an good 15 minutes to maybe 3o minutes. Once they are finished,put them in the blender then put an 1/2 cup of the water they were cooked in also in the blender along with the small handful of cilantro. Blend until the sauce in smooth. By time, the chicken should be finished so start shredding them to smaller pieces-I usually used 2 forks to do the shredding,Set aside and save an 1/3 cup of the broth.

Heat the the tbsp of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Strain the sauce into the saucepan since the seeds from the jalapenos are not good for your health.Simmer for 5 minutes then add 1/3 cup of the saved broth. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce have thicken a little bit.Heat the 1/3 cup of oil or lard in an nonstick skillet over medium to medium high,depending on your stove again. Fry one tortilla for about an 30 seconds to an minute on each side then transfer to an plate with paper towels. Continue the same with rest of the tortillas. Submerge one of the fried tortilla in the green sauce then transfer to an plate and assemble with a little bit of chicken in the middle and if you want cheese then roll up it up. Placing seam side down either on the plate to eat right away or an greased 9x13 pan if you want to bake it. I prefer to bake it at 375 degrees for 15 minutes but try it either way and figure out which way you like better. Continue with the rest of the tortillas. Put the rest of the sauce on the top of the tortillas then put the cheese on the top of the sauce along with sour cream then eat it right away or bake it. Served hot with rice and beans. Enjoy :D
