Greetings CH
I've got my sample of Calvin's a few weeks ago, and like everyone else
that's commented on it, I think it's great stuff! Love the fact that the
heat doesn't block the flavor. I did the finger test and the fresh
banana
sample at work, and one of my co-workers asked me for a taste. She
*said*
she likes hot foods. Well 5 minutes later when she could talk, she asked
me what the h*ll was in that stuff :) Guess she won't want to share my
lunch :) hehe! Anyway, at first I didn't like the texture, seemed too
powdery to me. Got used to it quick tho! Tossed a little into a
MickeyD's
vanilla shake the other day, the mix of hot and cold was wonderful!
Anyway, here's what I used the last of my sample for:
(The LAST of it! It's GONE!! pout pout....)
FLAUTAS
8 oz boneless skinless chicken (ground or finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
fresh chiles of choice, finely chopped (I used 1 tsp Calvin's instead!)
6 black olives, pitted and chopped
salt
1 TBSP oil
1 green pepper, diced
1 red pepper, diced
3 oz frozen sweetcorn (about 2/3 cup)
1/2 c heavy cream (I tend to use more, med. or light cream
works fine also, IMHO)
12 tortillas
salsa, guacamole, and sour cream for toppings
Heat the oil in a medium frying pan and add the chicken, onion, and
green pepper. Cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently to break
up the pieces of chicken. When the chicken is cooked and the veggies
are softened, add the chile, sweetcorn, olives, cream and salt. Bring
to the boil over heat and boil rapidly, stirring continiously, to
reduce and thicken the cream.
Place tortilla on a clean work surface. Spoon some of the chicken
mixture
onto the tortillas, roll up and secure with wooden toothpicks.
Fry flautas in about 1/2" oil in a large fry pan. Do not allow tortillas
to get very brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve em up!
