    Filling: Cecina (Salted Cured Dried Beef) 1lb White Onion, Large 1 per lb of Cecina Nopales, 4 pads per lb of cecina

    Prepare the nopales • Scrape off thorns with back of knife • Cut off outer edge and thick base • Slice into strips then squares • Boil for 15 minutes with 1/4 white onion, 2 smashed garlic, salt pepper • Strain and rinse

    Slice onion, somewhat thicc Cut Cecina into small taco slice squares

    Pan fry onion until translucent Add cecina until cooked through Combine nopales to finish filling

    Guajillo salsa: 6 Dried Guajillos 1-2 dried Arbol* 3 cloves of garlic 1/2 onion 3-4 Tomatoes 2tsp of Tomato/Chimken bullion

    This makes about 1 pint of salsa

    Bring water to a boil, add everything, Boil for about 15 minutes until chilies are soft. Blend everything until smooth Add 1/2-1 Cup of boiled chili water until correct consistency Fry in hot oil to finish

    *0 for Fruity Smokey only salsa, 1 for mild salsa, 2 for standard heat, 3 for bootyburn

    Avocado Cilantro lime crema (threw this together to preserve ripened avocados so make it up however you like: 5 Teeny Avocados from trader joes 5 limes juiced 1 bunch of cilantro 14oz of meixcan crema Salt Cold water for consistency

    This makes about a pint as well

    Twist the top of the cilantro bunch off the bulk of the stems, add to a blender/food processor with the lime juice, avocados, and salt.

    My food processor wasn’t big enough to add the crema too, so I just took the avocado cilantro mix and folded it into the crema until combined. Add cold water and mix until it reaches your desired consistency (not gloopy, but not liquid)

    Then you slap the tacos together.

    This is also great for chilaquiles, enchiladas, flautas, whatever your mexican heart desires.

    I’d call the flavor a cross between green bean and asparagus.

    To get the slime out without mucking up your pan, boil it for 15 minutes. Add a chunk of onion, cloves is garlic, salt, pepper to the water for flavor. Then drain, rinse with water, and 90% of the slime will be gone. Then just combine with the rest of your cooked filling.

    If you are going for a vegetarian taco, I recommend adding queso de frier (friable cheese) for that hit of salt, fat, and chewy texture. Dice it up into small pieces. Fry it with a touch of neutral oil until it’s brown and crispy on all sides.







  • This prompted me to do a wiki dig. TIL Israel was founded by an actual Jewish Nazi group and they even named a military ribbon after them.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehi_(militant_group)?wprov=sfla1

    In April 1948, Lehi and the Irgun were jointly responsible for the massacre in Deir Yassin of at least 107 Palestinian Arab villagers, including women and children. Lehi assassinated Lord Moyne, British Minister Resident in the Middle East, and made many other attacks on the British in Palestine. On 29 May 1948, the government of Israel, having inducted its activist members into the Israel Defense Forces, formally disbanded Lehi, though some of its members carried out one more terrorist act, the assassination of Folke Bernadotte some months later, an act condemned by Bernadotte’s replacement as mediator, Ralph Bunche. After the assassination, the new Israeli government declared Lehi a terrorist organization, arresting some 200 members and convicting some of the leaders. Just before the first Israeli elections in January 1949, a general amnesty to Lehi members was granted by the government. In 1980, Israel instituted a military decoration, an “award for activity in the struggle for the establishment of Israel”, the Lehi ribbon. Former Lehi leader Yitzhak Shamir became Prime Minister of Israel in 1983.
