MEXICAN BOTANA PLATTER



Mexican Botana Platter image

Growing up at the very tip of Texas, this beef and chicken fajita, bean, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream recipe has always been an all-in-one hit at restaurants or any get together! Serve with Spanish rice and fresh warm flour tortillas! You can also use grilled shrimp or sausage as your meat and save time by using tortilla chips in the bag, but the taste won't be authentic.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 pounds beef skirt steak
2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
2 teaspoons fajita seasoning
2 ½ teaspoons garlic powder, divided
2 cups refried beans
salt to taste
lemon pepper to taste
4 avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed
1 cup corn oil
24 corn tortillas
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
⅓ bunch cilantro, chopped
1 (16 ounce) package shredded American cheese
12 ounces sour cream
2 large tomatoes, chopped
4 pickled jalapeno peppers, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Rub beef and chicken with fajita seasoning and 2 teaspoons garlic powder. Cut beef and chicken into 1-inch strips, and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, warm refried beans over medium-low heat.
  • Stir salt, lemon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder into mashed avocados. Set aside.
  • Heat corn oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cut tortillas in half, then cut in half again to make 4 triangular pieces per tortilla. Place into the skillet as many tortilla pieces as will fit without overlapping, and fry until crisp; repeat this process until all the tortilla pieces have been fried. Remove crisp tortillas to paper towels. Discard oil, and wipe out skillet.
  • Return skillet to medium heat, and stir in beef, chicken, bell pepper, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes; then stir in cilantro.
  • Layer the tortilla pieces along the bottom of a large baking dish. Spread refried beans evenly over tortilla pieces. Sprinkle cheese over beans, then spread meat mixture evenly on top.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cheese and beans are bubbly, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and drop sour cream and guacamole by tablespoonfuls in various places across the top. Sprinkle tomatoes and jalapenos on top.

  • Sandia Loca. If you’ve ever wondered what a ‘crazy watermelon’ looked like, just take a good long look at this Mexican party favorite, because that’s exactly what ‘sandia loca’ translates to.
  • Jicama con Chile. This dish is much more straightforward than the sandia loca, and is probably better suited for civilized celebrations and parties.
  • Lime, Shrimp, and Avocado Salad. This dish could be considered a ceviche depending on your school of thought. Many purists would scoff at the idea of introducing avocado into the mix, so for the sake of not enraging any readers we’ll stick to simply calling this one a ‘salad.’
  • Pepinos Locos. Pepinos locos are the smaller, easier, less wild little brother of the sandia loca. They are another Mexican party favorite and made by removing the core from a 3-4 inch length of cucumber, and stuffing the cavity with a mixture of peanuts that have been tossed in chamoy.
  • Nachos. What, you thought people only eat nachos in America? While you’d probably be right to assume that the United States is the simple largest per capita consumer of nachos on the planet, they still originated in from its neighbor to the south.

  • Ceviche. Peru claims ceviche as its original creation, but nowadays, this raw-fish-bathed-in-lime-juice delicacy is enjoyed in distinctly Mexican versions in fishing villages and large resorts up and down both the Pacific and Gulf coasts.
  • Keto Tortilla Chips. These keto tortilla chips are an easy replacement for corn tortilla chips, with only six keto-friendly ingredients. They are packed with finger-licking flavor, which is exactly what you want in a good chip.
  • Taco Sauce. While many packaged sauce mixes are fine, homemade is always better. This taco sauce is easy to prepare and starts with tomatoes, green chiles, jalapenos, and lots of spicy goodness from cumin, coriander, cayenne, and paprika.
  • Mexican Cheese. Just as there are gobs of varieties of authentic Mexican cheese, there are many different ways to enjoy it on game day. Here are just a few suggestions to kick-start your ideas
  • Tepache. Need an alternative to the same old beer and soda drinks while watching the game? Tepache comes to the rescue with its refreshing flavor and fermented goodness.
  • Empanadas. The ultimate in "finger food," empanadas can be savory or sweet, and they can be served either hot or at room temperature. These hand-held goodies can be made the day before the Big Game, if you like, and can even be filled with leftovers from other meals.
  • Quesadillas. If there is a no-brainer for football food, this is it. Whether they are of the simple cheese-between-two-flour-tortillas variety or the more complex (and flavorful) traditional fried type, quesadillas are fun and satisfying.
  • Nachos. Are nachos Mexican? That’s debatable (and discussed elsewhere), but what is undeniable is their suitability as game-day fare. For best flavor, forego the viscous orange “cheese sauce” and make your nachos with real shredded cheese, heating each serving briefly in the microwave or oven to turn it all melty.
  • Guacamole and Chips With Salsa. Since “guac” has now been completely woven into the average American life experience, it’s easy to forget its distinctly Mexican origins.
  • Keto Nachos. For those that are on the keto diet, these keto nachos are sure to be a hit. Using the homemade keto tortilla chips, simply add toppings of shredded chicken, guacamole, queso, cheese, sour cream, and whatever other toppings fit your cravings.
