Tex-Mex Fideo image

Another little recipe I found in our local paper. This one has NO meat in it, but feel free to add pieces of chicken or other tender meat to this mix. Small pieces will cook in the time required for the noodles to become tender. Or, just serve with grilled or pan seared chicken.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces vermicelli, broken up (about 2 cups)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, chopped

  • Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 min more.
  • Break the vermicelli into short lengths (2 inches or so) and add them to the skillet as you do.
  • Stir and cook for 3-4 minute They will turn opaque and then begin to brown.
  • Stir them often, and when many of them are brown and the others are opaque, add the salt, pepper, cumin, green chilies, tomato sauce, and water.

This dish was good, but not great. I think I would have liked it better with a different type of cheese.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The flavor was just okay and it wasn't very filling.

This recipe was too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fideo came out mushy. I think I might have overcooked the pasta.

I'm not usually a fan of fideo, but this Tex-Mex version was really good. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still slightly crunchy. The cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful. I would definitely make this again.
