I ate it too fast to bother. The steak got a little of the steak sauce and the broccoli got waaaayyyyyy too much of Trappys Ghost Pepper sauce.

Roasted this last night and am pulling the meat from it this morning. It will be going in King Ranch Chicken for tonight.

I had this afternoon off so I decided he King Ranch Chicken could wait till tomorrow. Time to make carne guisada tacos for TBs taco thread. Im gonna be recreating a #17 from Taqueria Chihuahua, a taco joint from near my hometown. Its a guisada taco with bacon, cheese, refried beans, Mexican rice, pico and hot sauce.

I saw this chuck roast at Whole Foods and had to have it.

Count.
 
Screw the chuck roast.
 
You had me at King Ranch chicken.
 
Casserole? 
 
Thats a south Texas food group.
 
 

 

[The Count]

Yep, my granny made that every other week. Shed send leftovers home with us because my mom didnt cook. Im making mine from her recipe that is dated 1977.

 

[The Count]

So here is my recreation of one of my favorite taco joint tacos..... the #17 from Taqueria Chihuahua

 

[The Count]

Back to the King Ranch Chicken. The cream of mushroom and cream of chicken have been mixed all day along with the spices (chili powders, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper). The onion, bell pepper and jalapeño have been softened up by pan frying (Granny didnt like them being crunchy).

 

[The Count]

This is the second container going together, in case youve never had King Ranch Chicken and are unsure of what its like

 

[The Count]

Before the hot sauce goes on it (sorry Granny, Rotel and chili powder arent spicy enough for us anymore).

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Never seen this! If that mushroom soup was refried beans I'd say Mexican lasagna. Burt I dunno!!! Looks awesome!

 

[The Count]

Mexican lasagna would be a good way of putting it. Ive had it with Doritos instead of corn tillas, and whole tillas instead of cut ones like I use. Quality chicken that isnt dry is the key to it IMO. You could add or subtract spices and other components, but good Chicken is a must.

One night while drinking and watching YouTube food review videos, I saw this sandwich get reviewed by NumberSixWithCheese from Ricobenes. I had to make it since its basically a chicken fried steak sandwich with Italian stuff. So here it is for the first time in my kitchen. It was AMAZING btw, and will be going in my recipe book
