* } r Family Favorites By Mrs. Don Kachtik (Ed note: Mrs. Kachtik and her husband, Don are from Rio Hondo, Tex., and have been living- in College Station since September. Don has been attending A&M for four years and is a senior horticulture major.) My favorite meal is one that includes Mexican dishes. Having lived as close to the Mexican boraker as Don «and I have, we learned to like their food. Rio Hondo, our home town, is only 30 miles north of the border. The most common of all Mexican dishes are Tacos and Enchiladas. If you are fond of Mexican food I have prepared a full course Mexican dinner*. Guacamole Salad 1 alvacado Teaspoon of cream or V& cup chopped onion, mayonnaise to make very fine „ creamier Small amount of hot chili 3 tortillas pepper if desired . 5 Mash your alvacados as you would potatoes and add onion and other ingredients, mix well. Fry tortillas very crisp in fat or butter and place them broken in half on either side of a salad plate. Place the salad on the center of the plate covering the inside edges of the tortillas. Guacamole salad is eaten on the tortilla very much like you would eat cream cheese on crackers. This recipe should serve three people. Tacos dozen tortillas 1 small onion 1 tomato % pound ground beef 1 small head of lettuce Chili powder to taste Make a salad from lettuce, tomato and onion, salting to taste. Next fry the ground beef (scramble it). Add chili powder to taste and keep in separate containers. I fry tortillas in fat, but some prefer to fry them in butter, first folding them in the middle and then dipping them to fry either crisp or limber depending .on how you like to eat them. Fill three tortillas with the salad and the other three with the meat mixture. Eat the tacos with your hands as you would a sand wich. Enchaladas % dozen tortillas % pound ground beef 1 small onion 1 small can chili % pound American cheese Scramble ground beef, adding can of chili. Cube onions and grate cheese. Leave each ingredient in separate containers. Dip tortillas in fat only long enough to limber for rolling. Put a heaping teaspoon of meat, onion and cheese in the tortilla and roll it cigarette fashion about 1 Vz rolls. A toothpick will help to hold the roll in place. Place enchaladas in the baking dish and spread remainder of ingredients over the top of the rolls. Spread grated cheese on the top of this and put in oven long enough to heat and melt cheese.
