Jenny, I have been cooking your freezer meals for about 4 months now and I am excited to get new ones to try. I saw in the book that your hubby like Bajio’s. I love it but I also like Café’ Rio and I got the recipe for the pulled pork, lime rice, the dressing and the chicken. I know you can’t publish them but I will send them to you if you want them for your own use. –Tamaree Stoddard
Tamaree, thank you so much for sharing a Cafe Rio recipe with me. (Click on this link to view the recipes.) I’m especially interested in the lime rice! It all sounds so delicious. I’ve been looking for a yummy green sauce to put on our burritos for a long time but I have been having a hard time remembering to buy it. When I do remember I can’t find it at the store. Maybe the dressing will be what I’ve been searching for. –Jenny Stanger
Jenny, I attached the recipe. Let me know if it worked. Sorry, I don’t have the recipe for the green sauce. My friends buy it at Walmart and they get on the isle with the Mexican food. I know that they will sell it to you at Café’ Rio. I have bought the little tortilla chips that they put on top of the salad, the tin pans, and the tortillas from them. I like the uncooked tortillas from Sam’s or Costco better because they aren’t as big and fit in the pan better.
Also, did you know that the foil pans I use for my freezer meals I get at Zurchers and they are only 33 cents for the 8 inch. I usually make 2 meals at on one recipe as I don’t like a lot of left overs. But they have tons of different sizes there. I get the ones for the salads there also when I do it for a party but last time I got them at Bajio’s and they were only 22 cents. –Tamaree Stoddard
Tamaree- Excellent tip on the 8 inch foil pans. I’ve sure been looking for a better price then what I’ve been paying. Thank you so much for your tips. So, Walmart green sauce eh? I’ll keep searching for a good recipe, but for now Walmart will have to do. I tried some of the uncooked tortillas from Costco over the weekend at a friends house and I LOVE THEM. At first I thought it was a whole lot more work and more expense, why would anyone by them. But now I know. They are so much better. So you can buy foil pans from Bajios? –Jenny
Here is a recipe for the green chili chutney. http://www.chow.com/recipes/10670
I’m going to try it out and see if it is as good. -Jenny
Oh my heck! I can’t wait to try this. I have been looking for this for ever. I hope you like the salad. You could use the dressing that I sent you with it also. Yes you can buy the foil pans at Bajio’s and they are a little cheaper but they are the round ones. You can also buy the torilla strips pretty cheap to put on top of your salad. At zurchers they have every size of foil pans and they also have lids if you want them. You just made my day with this recipe. I think I will make it tomorrow. Thanks again! Tamaree
