Best 5 Mexican Pick Up Sticks Recipes

MEXICAN STACK-ES, ALSO KNOWN AS...

Steps:

• Cook brown or white rice as directed. Note: brown rice can take up to 50 minutes to cook so plan accordingly.
• Cook ground beef with chopped onions and 2-3 Tbsp taco seasoning in a large skillet over medium. Drain, if needed. (Or thaw and heat frozen taco meat!)
• Drain corn. Drain and rinse black beans, if using canned. Heat up both in a small sauce pan.
• Prepare guacamole by mashing avocado with the ground cumin and lime juice, season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Layer plates with rice, taco meat, beans, and corn. Add guacamole, cheese, and salsa to each plate.
• Serve Mexican Stack-Es with a cilantro garnish.

BAKED MEXICAN CHEESE STICKS

Steps:

• Place the flour in a shallow bowl or plate. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon water. In another shallow bowl or plate, combine the panko, cilantro, salt and pepper.
• Begin by coating the mozzarella sticks in batches of 2, first dredging in the flour mixture and shaking off excess. Then dip in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Finish by dredging in the panko crumb mixture and shaking any off excess. Transfer the breaded cheese sticks to a sheet pan greased with nonstick cooking spray. Cover and freeze until frozen, about 4 hours and up to 2 days (this will lessen the oozing of the cheese).
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly spray the cheese sticks with nonstick cooking spray. Bake until the cheese is soft and the sticks are lightly browned, about 12 minutes.
