tex-mex sunday

inspired by the tex-mex cookbook i spied on the shelf and boxes of all -purpose flour sitting for a month now on mom's pantry (which she doesn't know what to do with), i tried my hands on two of my favorites: empanadas and burritos.
while the dough for burritos is resting by the stove (instructions said to keep it warn), i prepared packets of empanadas. it was simple. for filling, i sauteed ground beef in a little oil, garlic and onion. when meat was tender, i threw in small cubes of potatoes and some green bell peppers. for a cup of flour, i was able to make 13 odd pieces, two of which made a filling snack already (with dad as a standard; i had 3 before i couldn't swallow a bite more, with sprite and coffee). nanay was gushing about it and that's good enough compliment, knowing that she's my worst culinary critic. of course i cut on pepper powder to suit her taste.
on my burritos, im keeping my fingers crossed. it was decided that we'll leave it for after dinner snack later. but it couldn't be bad. what could go wrong with cheese, beef, pepper, and tomato combo? can't wait to get dark now.
meanwhile, time to feed my soul with God's word :)
