Old El Paso has come up with the most clever thing! It is a soft taco shell that is formed into a bowl shape. They sent us the Stand ‘N Stuff soft flour tortillas and their three new Mexican Cooking Sauces to try. When I took all the products out of the box I immediately started thinking of the ways I could use them.
On the back of each of the
Mexican Cooking Sauces they feature a recipe that you could use if you desire.
There is also a description of each sauce. The Chile & Roasted Garlic sauce
is a mild sauce that is recommended for burritos. It is described as a savory
blend of mild ancho and guajillo peppers, roasted onion and garlic. The Roasted
Tomato sauce is also a mild sauce and it is recommended for tacos. The
description says it is a savory blend of roasted ripe tomatoes, Anaheim peppers
and a touch of onion and garlic. The third sauce is Chipotle and it is classified
as medium and recommended for fajitas. Its description is a rich smoky blend of
chipotle peppers and fire roasted tomatoes with a touch of sour cream.
I decided to give the Chile & Roasted Garlic Mexican
Sauce a try first. I had some chicken breasts in the freezer so I tossed
them in the crock pot and poured the sauce over them. I filled the pouch up
with water and added it to the crock pot. I set it on high and let it cook for
about 6 hours until the chicken was falling apart. (You can cook it for less
time if you don’t desire shredded chicken.)
Lord have mercy! It is so sad that there isn't some type of
scratch and sniff button I could embed on here. The description of savory doesn't
even begin to describe the succulent vapors that were wafting out of my kitchen
all afternoon.
After being tortured most of the day the chicken was finally
done. I decided to make some rice to go along with it. I got out my handy dandy
rice cooker and used some of the sauce off of the chicken along with water to
cook the rice in.
When everything was finished we heated up the Stand ‘N Stuff
tortillas in the microwave according to the directions. Then the assembly
began. We layered in the rice then chicken and topped it all off with some
shredded cheese. A little lettuce, tomato, avacado and a dollop of sour cream rounded
the whole thing out.
To say this turned out delicious is an understatement. I can’t
wait to try the other two sauces. You know I’m already planning ahead to the
next time we have company over. This would make an excellent taco bar night! I’m
pretty sure these are going to become a staple in my pantry.
