Welcome to the Veeky Forums challenge: MEXICAN INSPIRED! >Thread 2
>JUST IN TIME FOR DIAS DE LOS MUERTOS
That's right: MEXICAN INSPIRED. What does that mean? Well, if you can't figure this shit out you should probably stay away from the knives.
******* Dishes will be scored on the following areas, so keep that in mind.
-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills -Originality: Creativity in composing the dish -Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter -Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)
The distinction between Presentation and Appeal: If someone submits an artfully arranged but burnt steak as an entry, it may score high in Presentation but low in appeal. *******
Remember people, timestamp and unique identifiers. Stop forgetting damn you.
Please suggest as you go, 'cos I'm gathering suggestions like some sort of hoarder.
Nigga this archiving shit's bad. Bump these fucking thread you keks cuz we're all gonna miss out.

Samuel Carter
Well, if people weren't making 20 fucking threads about some McDonalds memesauce then maybe this thread with actual content would need bumping every 5 minutes. All this redditposting is so importing and essential to a food board and shouldn't just fuck off to /b/ or reddit or something.
Jackson Richardson
I will post my entry when I get off work, also bump
Austin Gutierrez
:( I cooked chicken enchiladas for lunch but didn't snap any pictures because this thread wasn't up before I started cooking. And I doubt anyone wants to see pictures of the leftovers. Well... guess I'll do another semimexi thing sometime in the next week or so and post that. Maybe Chamorro food, as was talked about last thread since it's all Mexican inspired anyway.
Ayden Carter
I made box/kit enchiladas today because I live in the UK now and the state of mexican food here is miserable
I'm gonna make some epic shit for the challenge though (hopefully), just you wait
Michael Lopez
I'll probably try to make a mole of some sort for this one. Fwiw I was clothespin in the berry thread with the blueberry chipotle bbq'd ribs and was doing pretty well in the rankings until some sperge slapped me with a low rank. Kind of turned me off of it for a couple months.
Carter Russell
BUMP so this dosent get archived
Cooper White
Missed last month's, but I'm pretty hype for this
Bought some mole ingredients & have my steak marinating now. Still not sure how I where I want to go with this but I'm looking forward to the ride
That sounds pretty dope, would love to check out the recipe. I made blueberry-bourbon duck breast a couple challenges back - went over pretty well but it's definitely a polarizing ingredient

this is my version of a mexican INSPIRED pizza, I call it pizza de trompo
I made everything but the cheese from scratch
its a detroit style deep dish with mozz, al pastor (w/ muy authentico marinade recipe), grilled pineapple, sauteed red onion, a homemade roasted poblano/jalapeno/avocado ranch, topped with a bit of soap plant
i expect a lot of hates on my meme pizza and for entering a pizza in general but it was delicious and one of my top 3 pizzas ive ever had

Brandon James
Don't worry, the entries will come.
Isaiah Myers
Gonna take a dump here with some OC from last month. Think I got 2 replies! Not too shabby.
Chili Verde! Starting at 9 o' clock: Yukon potato Onion Tomatillo Pork leftovers (sous vide pork belly & fried pork ribs) Serrano, jalapeno, and poblano peppers Lime in the middle
Off camera: Spices Chicken stock
Easton Campbell
Roast and skin the peppers.
I was using my torch to burn the skin. It works; it burns the skin. But really when you're roasting peppers you're cooking them as well. Also the skin doesn't slough off as all with a torch. Took them out to the grill and did it the normal way. Torch is great for toasting dried peppers, though.
Isaiah Ramirez
I forgot to mention cilantro. I will do that now: Cilantro.
Cameron Martinez
vroom!
Caleb Gray
I realize that I forgot to mention garlic as well. Sorry, garlic.
I seared the pork after cubing it. See?
Liam Morris
Toasted the spices and stuff. Dried orange peel Red pepper flakes for some reason (?) Cumin Oregano
Carefully plop the blended mixture into the pot. It looks like the chicken stock was still a bit frozen.
Nathan Young
Budadoes.
Brody Hall
The pork was already tender as a shy boy buddhist so I didn't need to stew it.
Jordan Jackson
>a shy boy buddhist 's heart Sorry.
Anyhow, I saved a bit of the blended stuff to add at the end. A trick I picked up somewhere. I think from the gook at the gook market, regarding Thai curries. The idea is that, if you are not picking it up, is that you get some flavors from the cooked vegetal and also different flavors from the raw veg. Also, I would like to ask what my upstairs neighbor is doing. Does anyone know? It sounds like he is on a six foot ladder, dropping really large extension cords onto his floor ( my ceiling).
A bump with info that I am going to peruse the fuck out of tonight. Gotta do something with all that time I'm spending not drinking.
Ayden Smith
Bump
Jordan Barnes
Another sober bump.
Colton Rivera
Looks like I'm gonna be making my entry this Sunday. Wish me luck. And if anyone knows of any commercially available product for the permanent removal of famous opera singers, please let me know. I've got a bad opera singer infestation here and I need to be rid of it ASAP.
Jack Gray
>Think I got 2 replies! Not too shabby. Can you at least notice me, sense pie? Am I that aweful? Am I un-relateable? Insignificant? Do we need to bond? Would it help if I mentioned that I went off cymbalta 3 weeks ago? Not dizzy anymore. Are you mad at me?
Andrew Nguyen
Veeky Forums, you win. You broke me. KYS. I'll continue with my own plans.
Nathaniel Price
wtf is going on in here desu
Elijah Walker
Sorry 'bout your opera troubles. Good luck with the entry. I noticed you, never worry aboot that.
Charles Rogers
Your guess is probably better than mine, CounterCat.

Aaron King
Yet another bump for Veeky Forums! There's an idea for a theme, cross board dishes!
Bentley Moore
Hopefully getting some ingredients for this tomorrow or the day after. I hope I can find what I'm looking for since it may be a bit difficult to find where I am.
Hudson Richardson
is there a rule about updating my submission? plan to remake the whole thing today but take better pics
Benjamin Price
I lied. May have to do it tonight. Not feeling too great. ):
Jonathan Powell
As long as you have the Unique Identifier and make it clear that it overwrites your previous entry, go nuts.
Jackson Cox
Don't give up, the universe loves you.
Gabriel Martinez
Hope you're feeling better, shaky bb. I wub roo.
James Rogers

Oliver Perez
You can't be serious.?

Adrian Rogers
Time for my entry, tamale pie. It was a bitch to make, because Mexican ingredients aren't very common in Europe. Couldn't find lard so had to use butter. In the end, it turned out pretty good, could've used a thinner crust and more filling though, but it was nice with some salsa. It looks nice at least. Served with the greatest authentic Mexican beer (that was made in France).
Luis Jackson
And of course, my vertical showing how I did it, and some instructions if you think you can do it better.
Jaxon Gutierrez
I would eat this so hard
Jonathan Gomez
Thanks for the entry!
William Carter
Bump
Josiah Rodriguez
Thanks for the bump!
Lincoln Diaz
Mother. Of. FUCK. That's what I was gonna make, too. Guess it's a good thing I wasn't well enough to cobble it together, then, because after seeing this, I went in a wholly new direction. It's been prepared. Pics have been taken. Just need to edit and I'll have it up. Will post soon.
Kevin Mitchell
How long does a Veeky Forums challenge last? I want to enter but I have too many leftovers to justify cooking another dish tonight.
Eli Evans
This month's entries stop at 12:00 am on the 25th of October. Looking forward to what you may or may not make!
Asher Sanchez
I'm gonna give another go at "dos reflexiones de huevos frescos". I came up with the name myself; it's a Mexican take on Eggs Benedict. No bully.
Jordan Morris
1) Red chilli. 2) Chopped. 3) Onion. 4) Also chopped. 5) Lime. 6) Zested. 7) Halved and juiced. 8) Prawn. (not show: coriander leaves and prawn salt*) 9) Flour, bicarb and salt mixed with coconut milk. (not shown: a dash of vinegar, to react with the bicarb for a bit of lift) 10) Mixed. 11) Divided. 12) Rolled. 13) "Baking." 14) Other side. 15) Cucumber, carrot and radish shreds. 16) Prawn after marinating in the lime juice with the chilli, onion, coriander, prawn salt and zest.
Prawn ceviche with coconut tortillas and mixed veg slaw.
>*not sure the word in English; salted baby prawns that are dried out then ground into powder, used to enhance the flavour of seafood dishes
Austin Clark
Second picturemuhbob in case the first one looks bad.
I love eggs benedict. What will make it Mexican eggs bennies, though?
Tyler Sanchez
Alright, after toying around a bit: lamb loin with mole & yucca salad.
Lamb was seasoned with... >salt >marjoram >thyme >cumin >coriander Rubbed down and left to marinate overnight, brought to room temp & into the oven for roasting
The salad consists of... >yucca >cactus pear >1 serrano >1 bell pepper >cilantro >cucumber Dressed lightly with... >lime juice >cactus pear juice >salt >pepper >cumin
And the cocktail-- >mezcal >cactus pear juice >lime juice
I had a lot of fun with this - was not looking forward to prepping the mole but the effort paid off. Would make again (although maybe not on a Monday....)
Gabriel Rodriguez
Thanks for the entry!
Jonathan Stewart
Why don't you let things touch? Have a touch of the 'tism?
