Essential Components
Butler Soy Curls
When you’ve got by no means heard of those, they’re little strips of non-GMO soybeans which have been steamed, pushed via an extruder into strips (suppose play-dough machines), after which dried. When you rehydrate them, they’ve a texture that’s eerily much like cooked hen. In fact, then you definately give them no matter taste you need and cook dinner them.
You’ll find them at Complete Meals, Amazon, and Butler Meals.
Inexperienced Chiles
You KNOW I like me some freshly roasted Hatch Inexperienced Chile, but when all yow will discover are these little cans within the retailer, they will work high-quality. For those who like some spice, possibly add an additional jalapeno or serrano.
Chipotles in Adobo
Once more, these simply add a little bit spice however in addition they add a pleasant smokiness to the recipe. For those who do not do spicy meals – you may go away them out. However in the event you do use them, I just like the model La Costeña as they’re oil-free.
Mexican Oregano
Mexican Oregano actually is a unique plant than Italian Oregano, with barely totally different flavors as nicely. I can all the time discover it within the Mexican aisle of my grocer, close to the dried chiles, hanging in little cellophane luggage. It is also courser than Italian, so I are likely to crumble it up between my palms.
