Chilaquiles

Si, puedes hacer trampa, pero la mera onda de los chilaquiles es que hagas tus propios totopos y salsa.

Debo admitir que después de escribir ese primer enunciado me quedé pensando si convertir este post en uno de receta.. y.. neh, no me acuerdo de las cantidades exactas como para hacer una receta bien.. así que a medias, igual que como se suele cocinar los fines de semana para el desayuno... Para la salsa, coce unos chiles en agua, si quieres que se endulce un poco, con cebolla y unos dientes de ajo, ya que estén suavizados, dale una buena licuada con la licuadora de mano y si te quieres ver fancy, cuela y regresa a un sartén u olla con aceite caliente y fuego a reducir. Para los totopos, corta unas tortillas de maíz en cuartos o tiras, según tu preferencia; luego fríelos en aceite caliente hasta que estén dorados. Ahora, la técnica para unir ambas partes puede ser diferente según... tus gustos... puedes echar los totopos a la salsa o puedes echarle salsa a los totopos... cualquiera de los dos está bien, para lograr lo de la foto, un poco de queso encima y un poco de guacamole.

Chilaquiles

Yes, you can cheat, but the real deal for chilaquiles is to make your own chips and sauce.

I'll admit, I wrote that first sentence and just sat in front of the computer, pondering wether or not I should make this into a recipe post or not... and... meet half way? a pseudo recipe follows then... For the sauce, boil some chiles in water with maybe an onion and garlic, zap with the hand blender and pass through a sieve. Then return to some hot oil and mix well, reduce... For the chips, cut up some corn tortillas and fry in hot oil until golden brown (and delicious). Introduce chips to salsa, let them mingle with some shredded cheese and guacamole (if you're into that sort of thing... ) serve with some refried pinto beans on the side, or like they did in my alma mater, under the chilaquiles.

Tuna with vegetables [food]

Get yourself some tuna steaks, the fresher the better. But, if you're like us and no longer live at a walking distance from the sea, I heard from a reputable source (the internet, of course!) that the frozen ahi tuna steaks from costco were a good deal, and.. yes, they are.. in fact, they're the just about the only thing from there that I regret  not being able to buy after our membership expired. Alas, ~12 steaks for 17 bucks was great.

I've been asked this before and yes, it says steak, so cook it like one; although it not being completely fresh I'd go to just before the well done state before taking it away from the fire just to be safe. And since you're firing up a hot pan and putting it in the oven afterwards, make it a one-pan meal and cook your vegetables in there as well.
