deadpool's chimichanga recipe <3 

this is the guide for the chimichangas wade makes in chapter 38 of the tangled web we weave, and it happens to be something ive been making these past months, so i thought id share the recipe <3

this recipe was originally gotten from my cousin, and i experimented and changed it over time. i am in no way a chef. but deadpool is, so please enjoy!

ingredients for the chimichanga filling:

1 pound ground beef (you can marinate it overnight in in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and your favorite spices) 

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

3 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (3 cause i like it spicy! adjust to your spice preference)

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon paprika

salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn kernels (i prefer fresh, but frozen also works)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

vegetable oil, for frying

ingredients for the guacamole:

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

1/2 small onion, finely chopped

1 small tomato, diced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 jalapeño pepper, minced (adjust to your spice preference)

juice of 1 lime

salt and pepper, to taste

ingredients for tortillas:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup warm water

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

ingredients for serving:

sour cream

salsa

chopped fresh cilantro

lime wedges

(optional) pickled red onions 

instructions:

one. prepare the guacamole:

in a bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until mostly smooth.

stir in the chopped onion, diced tomato, minced garlic, minced jalapeño, and lime juice.

season the guacamole with salt and pepper to taste. cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning, and set aside.

two. prepare the chimichanga filling:

in a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and translucent.

add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it's browned and cooked through. drain any excess fat if needed.

stir in the diced red and green bell peppers, minced jalapeño, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. cook for another 2-3 minutes until the peppers start to soften.

add the black beans and corn kernels to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat them through.

remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it's melted and the filling is well combined.

three. make the tortillas (ones from supermarket work too ofc):

in a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

add the warm water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes until it becomes smooth.

divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll them into balls.

flatten each ball into a thin circle using a rolling pin.

heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they puff up and have golden spots. keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel.

four. assemble the chimichangas:

lay out the large flour tortillas on a clean surface.

spoon an equal amount of the chimichanga filling onto the center of each tortilla.

fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly, creating a burrito-like shape.

five. fry the chimichangas:

in a large, deep skillet, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 170°c.

carefully place the chimichangas seam side down into the hot oil using tongs.

fry the chimichangas for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

use tongs to remove the chimichangas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

(for extra crispiness, you may double fry) 

six. serve:

serve the chimichangas hot, topped with a generous dollop of guacamole, sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, pickled red onions, and a lime wedge on the side.

seven. eating: 

gather your friends

get comfy 

get hydrated (i like to make hibiscus or tamarind agua fresca w it, or a good, green ice tea) 

and enjoy <3

BEGONE, CHIPOTLE COMMERCIAL

REMIND ME NOT OF YOUR CORPORATE TRANSGRESSIONS

HOW YOU PREPARED NOT TWO BURRITOS FOR US, REQUESTED WITH PEPPERS AND VEGETABLES AND SALSAS, BUT ONE BURRITO WITH ONLY BEEF AND CHEESE AND RICE, AND A BOWL OF STEAK AND CHEESE AND SOUR CREAM

MAKE ME NOT AGAIN QUESTION HOW ONE WOULD ASSEMBLE SUCH AN ERROR AND THINK "This makes sense", OR HOW THEY WOULD BE PUT IN THE SAME BAG

MAKE ME NOT THINK THAT PEOPLE WOULD ORDER SUCH FOUL TASTES

AND SPARE ME THE MEMORY OF HOW THEY REFUSED TO CORRECT THIS MISTAKE

OR HOW THEIR COUNTER WAS ONE (SINGULAR) FREE BURRITO TO COMPENSATE FOR THE TWO THAT WE LOST

YEA, I MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SALVAGE SUCH FAILURE WITH THE INGREDIENTS IN MINE OWN HOME

HOURS AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AND WAS RESOLVED

BUT MOCK ME NOT WITH YOUR COMMERCIALS

FADE FAST

BEGONE FROM THIS WORLD

LET MOE'S REPLACE YOU

[cunninghamchrissie]

eddie did think it was weird that chrissy never ate in front of him, even after smoking together and seeing him unabashedly demolish an entire pizza by himself. but he just figured she was being shy, or maybe on a diet, or something.

once chrissy opens up about why she doesn’t eat a lot, eddie makes two mental notes to himself: 1) he does not hit women, even if the likes of laura cunningham deserve it and 2) he’s gonna keep chrissy fed.

as they’re passing a joint back and forth in the trailer one night, eddie’s stomach grumbles loudly and he whines that he’d give anything for a burrito. he starts listing what he’d put in it: both beef and chicken, a mountain of beans, guacamole, cheese and enough jalapeño to burn off his tongue. he doesn’t miss the way chrissy’s eyes tinkle with every new ingredient he brings up.

“i’ve never had mexican food.”

eddie immediately sits up from where he was lying on the living room floor, and his brain takes a few seconds to catch up to the movement.

“get your coat.”

“what?”

“get your coat, cunningham, i’m taking you to the best mexican place in town.”

“eddie, no, you don’t have to, i was just saying-“

he’s by the van before she can even finish her sentence.

in truth, the restaurant is only a step above a taco bell, but the owner was a client of eddie’s, and always included extra chips for free.

chrissy sits primly across from eddie in their booth, leafing through the menu.

“i don’t even know what to order,” she whispers worriedly, like she’s gonna get in trouble for it, and eddie’s chest tightens just a little bit.

he can tell that she’s nervous, can feel the vibration of her foot tapping on the linoleum tiles under the table.

“if i’m popping your mexican food cherry,” eddie starts, and delights in the way her face gets caught between a surprised gasp and a laugh, just like the first time at the picnic table when he called her a freak, “then i gotta recommend you go with the classic. carne asada tacos, can’t go wrong with ‘em.”

chrissy nods, happy for the suggestion, and eddie orders the tacos, his burrito monstrosity, an agua fresca each, and three types of dips for good measure.

chrissy finishes one whole taco (which is more than eddie’s ever seen her eat, and he eats her other one in three bites before she can feel self-conscious about leaving food on her plate) and half the chips with salsa, guacamole and sour cream, and eddie swears her face has more color to it and her eyes a little less of the sadness she always carries around.

#slushiis shitposts #had this in my drafts for like. 2 weeks because i couldnt think of anything else

[allsadnshit]

Haven't cooked in DAYS cause of brutal shifts at my job but today I finally got to get some groceries and make a new recipe!

I don't eat out almost at all anymore so I've also given up a lot of my comfort meals I ate when I was younger and didn't really care about nutrition and sourcing for ingredients like I do now, so it felt like a really fun challenge to re invent something like my fav chipotle burrito bowl but with local produce + meat + avoiding seed oils, gluten, and synthetic flavors

Jasmine rice with cilantro and lime, a chipotle pepper vinegarette with nice olive oil, local honey, oregano, red wine vinegar, real salt + pepper, stewed black beans with local mixed cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and local charred sweet peppers, local chicken fried in beef tallow, and fresh raw manchego + sheeps yogurt on top!!!

It was such a treat and we saved a lot for leftovers even though it was so tempting to overeat! We shared jasmine hibiscus kombucha instead <3

[goodnessandgrief]

When I’m feeling depressed, it can be nearly impossible to take care of myself, and that includes eating. Here’s a list of some foods that require little to no effort (aka: can be eaten right out of the package or just need to be microwaved), mainly for my personal reference, but also so others can find easier alternatives when they’re struggling.

Water bottles or canned water - stay hydrated!!

vegetables - green beans, peas, corn, black/kidney/pinto beans, chickpeas (all canned or microwaveable frozen bags) - I’ve also tried Harvest Snaps, which are baked snap peas & they’re v good

Fruit - grapes, raisins (or any other dried fruit like apricots/dates), mandarin oranges, apples, applesauce cups, bananas, pears, peaches, etc. (most fruits require no prep anyway, but especially if they’re canned - you can also buy frozen bags)

Canned soup or chicken, beef, or veggie broth

Pasta (ramen, spaghetti, mac and cheese, chow mein) or instant rice are my go-tos. You can buy these in individual cups or bulk packs.

Any microwaveable food - frozen/tv dinners, burritos, toaster strudels (they make an egg bacon & cheese version too!), mini pizzas, breakfast sandwiches… there’s a lot you could do here :)

Dairy - Yogurt, cheese sticks, (or just straight up eat cheese slices, there are no rules here), cottage cheese, almond/oat/soy milk, powdered milk (if you want something shelf-stable)

Grains & carbs - cereal, crackers, chips, popcorn, toast or bagels (I’ve eaten plain bread before tbh and it kinda slaps), Oatmeal (these packets are dinosaur themed & have little sugar eggs!! - https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/instant-oatmeal/dinosaur-eggs)

Nuts - peanuts, peanut butter, almonds, cashews, walnuts, trail mix, etc.

Meat - deli turkey, trail bologna, spam, jerky, frozen chicken strips or nuggets, Morningstar vegetarian corn dogs, canned tuna

Eggs

Fast food or take-out is also a good option if you don’t feel like making anything yourself.

A little tip - most foods you would take on a camping or hiking trip are great! for some, all you need to do is add water & heat it up. they are usually on the expensive side, though!! here’s some I’ve found that are decent:

https://mountainhouse.com/

Things to keep on hand for particularly bad days:

⁠Boost/ensure/Soylent - liquid meals for when the idea of chewing or mixing anything is too much.

⁠disposable cutlery/bowls/utensils so you don’t have more dishes to worry about.

Multivitamins

Liquid IV, Gatorade, or some other form of electrolytes. It’s too easy to get dehydrated!

If you do have a little energy to cook or make something, here’s some ideas:

If you have a blender: frozen spinach + frozen banana + shelf stable almond milk + peanut butter makes a great smoothie.

frozen fruit + frozen spinach/kale for smoothies

Adding whey protein makes it more filling.

⁠dried pasta + jarred pasta sauce (Rao’s is low sugar and awesome, but pricey) + frozen meatballs

Boil tortellini on hand. Its as easy as boiling water. You can eat it plain, add a spoonful of pesto, sprinkle with a little olive oil or butter and some garlic salt, or pour it back in the pan after draining and add a little pasta sauce

⁠frozen fried rice + frozen stir fry veggies

⁠favorite frozen protein and veggies for sheet pan meals

⁠canned refried beans with a tortilla and some cheese to microwave, can add extra toppings too

⁠oatmeal + pb + dried fruit of choice

⁠rice cakes + pb + jam (or substitute bread if you have it)

Rotisserie chicken in a salad, soup, sandwich or wrap

Frozen salmon with some veggies

air fryer foods - chicken nuggets, tenders, fries, etc. You can also toss different vegetables (baby carrots, Brussels sprouts, etc.) in a little olive oil and throw them in there

chicken broth & frozen dumplings - you can dress it up a little with some miso, soy sauce or other seasonings. You could also add some frozen vegetables.

snack type food - a combination of canned Garbanzo beans and black olives. The olives are salty enough that you can get low sodium beans and it will still taste good.

A lot of these ideas I stole from the good people of Reddit (particularly r/depressionmeals)!Here’s the post I referenced if you’d like to look further into it:

just made and ate a really really good burrito for dinner. i sauteed some frozen bell pepper pieces in the pan i used to cook the ground beef and added them in and with all the other ingredients and the tortilla the weird texture got completely covered and it was tasty. i'll be doing it again. :3

[indelicateink]

i found this incredibly eye-opening--cost of cooking oil going from $20 to $35, beef going from $5/lb to $6.60/lb, white onions going from $15 to $80, and more--but what also really got me was:

"The debate over the $22 burrito has raised questions about whose cuisine is allowed to be expensive. With Italian food, customers 'don’t have an issue' with paying $22 for pasta al pomodoro, Lopez pointed out, even though the dish is relatively cheap to make: canned tomatoes, dried or fresh pasta, and just a few other ingredients.

"So when it comes to a $22 burrito, Lopez asks, 'What’s the difference?'

"Preparing his birria is an intensive, three-day process, based on a recipe inherited from his grandfather. [...]

"After multiple television stations did segments on La Vaca Birria’s $22 burrito, Lopez says, the restaurant received angry phone calls including one who told them to 'get the f*** out of his country' and another calling him an idiot. [...]

"Lopez says that in the eyes of some, restaurateurs of color may be allowed to innovate, but 'people don’t think it should be worth any more than a certain price point.'

"But many of the comments on Lopez’s Instagram posts about rising costs have been unexpectedly positive, with people across industries saying that the challenges of inflation have resonated with them. He said the controversy had doubled the number of customers coming in to try La Vaca Birria’s specialties."

“'We’ve seen a lot of business,' he said. 'People, at least in San Francisco, have definitely come out to support.'”

Recipe: Empty Your Pantry Burrito Bowls

Hey, guys! Here's another recipe I made very recently! There will be images included at the end of the post.

The entire inspiration for this recipe is to empty your pantry or freezer! I have a TON of beans, frozen potatoes, and instant brown rice, so I got some of it used up in this recipe! I will also say this is higher calorie, but I struggle to get all my calories in as most days I don't feel that hungry, but you can always cut the calories by removing rice and putting in WAY more veggies!

*This recipe is also fairly easy to make vegan or vegetarian, just replace the ground chicken with plant-based meat or lentils, and replace the beef broth with vegetable broth or stock!

Total Cost: $13.49

Cost per Serving (5 Servings): $2.70

Calories per Serving (5 Servings): 709

Ingredients:

1 LB Perdue Ground Chicken ($3.64)

1 Bag Bird's Eye Oven Roasters Sweet Potatoes Carrots & Red Potatoes ($2.97, was on sale)

5 Servings (1/2 cup dry) Great Value Instant Brown Rice: $.90

1 Can Great Value Chickpeas: $.78

2 Cans Great Value No Salt Added Dark Red Kidney Beans: $1.56

1 10oz Can Rotel No Salt Added: $1.24

1.5 Cups Great Value Unsalted Beef Broth: $.50

1 Orange Bell Pepper: $1 (got it in a pack of 3 for $3)

2 Servings Great Value Seasoning Blend Frozen: $.70

2 TBPS Great Value Classic Olive Oil: $.20

Seasoning for Rice: Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Cumin, Chili Powder, Paprika, a SMALL amount of Cayenne, Black Pepper, added Accent when finished.

Seasoning for Chicken and Veggies in Pot: The exact same minus Cayenne, but added Accent while it was cooking.

I HIGHLY recommend following the instructions on the packaging for any rice you use and if you plan to bake your veggies! (Or look up a recommended cook time.)

I followed the directions on the Oven Roasters, making sure to preheat my oven before I started prepping anything else. I lined a pan with aluminum foil (highly recommend doing that for easier cleanup! It saves me HELLA time.), tossed the veggies on, and gave them a light spray with canned olive oil. This is not necessary and does not add any calories, but I like crisping my veggies up a little so they hold their crunch when I freeze them.

After getting that into the oven, I put the broth and water for the rice on to boil (I counted the broth into the rice's needed water), then got my olive oil heating to medium heat in a large pot. You want a pot big enough to hold everything but the rice and oven veggies!

When the olive oil is heated, add the frozen seasoning blend (or onions, onions and peppers, etc) and give it roughly 5 minutes to cook and thaw the onions before adding the bell pepper. After adding the bell pepper, give the mixture another 5 minutes to sweat the vegetables.

When the water is boiling, get your rice in.

After the veggies have sweated, get the ground chicken in the pot. Season both the rice and the chicken veggie mixture. (I go pretty heavy with seasoning as I don't add salt to anything due to my diet.)

Set your rice and the oven veggies to the side, and turn your full attention to the chicken mixture.

When the chicken is about 3/4ths of the way cooked (most of it has changed color, there can still be some pink just not much), add in your chickpeas. This gives them time to soften a little and start soaking in all that seasoning. You can add the Rotel and beans in now as well, or wait till the chicken is starting to brown.

I believe I gave it an additional 15-20 minutes to let the flavors mix and merry.

When everything is done, either serve with the chicken mix on top of the rice and oven veggies, or if you meal plan like I do, I used those long rectangular bowls that have no sections, and put my rice on one side, the chicken mixture on the other, and the oven veggies on top of the middle area!

Hope you enjoy <3

Hello, a soon-to-be veganuary participant here! Do you have any tips on how to communicate your veganism when you have e.g. family gatherings, sometimes with… a bit more conservative members, where there is a meal offered? I don’t want to seem too difficult😬 Also Food and easy everyday vegan food ideas would be appreciated!

Absolutely, it’ll be my pleasure! And Thank You!!!<3

So, I'll start with the last part of this ask. I think it's easier not to think of it as "vegan meals", and instead veganize whatever one usually eats. For me, I loved to have scrambled eggs in the mornings, now I have scrambled tofu (extra firm, not silken), that way I can still enjoy my comfort food but have it be animal-free.

meal suggestions:

Breakfast foods are perhaps the simplest to turn plant-based, takes mostly switching a few ingredients. Other meals are not difficult, but traditionally they might rely more on animal products, so you might have to tweak them more. These two (lunch and dinner) I'll be pairing because I eat them interchangeably at either noon or evening. If you want specific recipes, Pinterest is your best friend (my ask box will still be open though).

-Breakfast: oatmeal, toasts/bagels with either sweet or salty toppings, cereals, smoothie bowls, PB&J like Cas (still an SPN blog, sorry), hashed browns or smoothies, if you're like me and have no time in the mornings.

-Lunch/Dinner: rice&beans with a little extra something of your choosing (I like avocado or a simple green salad on the side), wraps/burritos (throw anything veggie in there, really), pasta (just had it with sautéed green beans and cashews), hearty salads (bulk up with, yes, beans - garbanzo/chickpeas are great for this!), thick soups (roast some veggies, then put in a blender and voilà. Great for low energy days and easier digestion), chili sin carne and curries.

-Snacks: i'm partial to nuts and seeds, but fruits are great too, as well as veggies/whatever with hummus, chips and the like (original Pringles, Lay's and Fritos, some pretzels and Takis too!), cookies (many options, original Oreos reign supreme), chocolate (most dark choc is vegan, sweeter options made with plant milks are also available), most popcorn, vegan ice cream (if you have access to Oatly and like chocolate, try the Fudge Brownie, so good) or vegan protein bars if you're in need of a protein-dense pick-me up (protein bars across the board aren’t the best in taste though, so, yeah).

general tips:

start increasing your fiber intake gradually, Now - this is because plant-based diets tend to be higher in fiber, and a sudden boost in it when you're not used to might lead to temporary bloating/discomfort because your digestive system is going to be doing some adjustments.

keep protein and fats in mind - DO EAT THEM! if you're filling unfulfilled after a meal, it might be because it was lacking in those. a lettuce, cucumber and tomato salad is not high in calories or satisfactory in general, it'll be disheartening and it may have you quitting or cursing vegans. if consuming salads make them hearty!

on the same line of protein - as a whole and from what i see in my own country, these days we're a bit obsessed with protein. and even if it's necessary we tend to overestimate our needs and underestimate our intake. if it's more convenient for you, there are many mock meats (depending on where you live, of course) that offer chicken/beef/fish-like products with high protein, but they can be pricier, aren't a necessity and are not really reflective of what most vegans eat for every meal every day. tofu, tempeh, beans and tvp (textured vegetable protein. super cheap and versatile) are my go-to. 

tofu - holy grail, unless you're allergic to soy. if not, it's a great base for literally anything. they key is squeezing out the water and seasoning well.

b12 supplementation/fortified foods

condiments are your best friend - this goes for any and all sorts of cooking, it's amazing what spices can do to enhance flavors.

most ingredients list on food labels will list allergens at the very end or have it in bold letters. here you'll see things that you wish to avoid, like eggs and milk, if the product contains any.

same if you have any safe foods for whatever reason, don't remove it from your diet, simply try to find a vegan alternative or tweak it a bit.

if for some reason you eat something non plant-based, don't make a big deal out of it or quit veganuary. just choose a vegan option the next time.

consider other aspects in your life that rely on animal products and, if safely possible, evaluate alternatives

it's not an all or nothing mentality, remember it's as far as is possible and practicable

As for your first question and based on my personal experience, people who judge or mock others' dietary choices mostly to do so with vegans and vegetarians only, so that's something to unpack there. In your case since it's specifically Veganuary, I'd simply say it's a challenge/activity you want to participate in to help with the environment and animals. Don't knock it til you try it sorta thing.

There are going to be questions and comments, there always are. If very conservative food-wise, relatives or friends may throw negative comments your way, but know those are a reflection of them and whatever they're dealing with rather than what you're doing or with you as an individual. It's literally their problem, not yours, cliché but true. Don't take as personal what other people might say about it because many do get defensive and touchy, even if you aren't out to "get them." In gatherings, if they offer you food, try to veganize the meal, if possible. If meat is optional, just substract it. It might not be the best or most balanced of meals, but you can make up for it later and it shows you've got nothing against their cooking because I bet you don’t. Also, if you know there won't be anything vegan, try bringing in a plate/side dish yourself to share with others, that way you won't arrive empty-handed and you'll make sure to stick to your goal.

// We are latine and my family goes heavy on the animal products consumption, there's not a single meal without them, not one. At the start you yourself might believe your eating is “difficult” but trust me, it isn’t. Past that initial hurdle, people tend to go ‘oh, this is vegan too!!’ (excitedly. very cute!, especially when they wanna share it with you. i just love it). They're used to me being vegan now though, even my grandmas and aunts are now way more receptive of alternative eating styles other than those they raised us in and are mindful of having something for me available (which is usually eaten by everybody else, anyway). The whole thing is gradual and slow, but being vegan is the best decision I've made for many reasons besides the dietary aspect of it, plus it cranked up my creativity in the kitchen, oof!

「 cooking & food : Though he never boasts it, Billy is actually a good cook. He worked a couple of summers at a little Mexican food shack on the beach he hung out at in San Diego to save up for his car, and got pretty good at grilling up different dishes.

However, he had one specialty that he’s perfected over the years, his burritos. He’s heavy handed with the spices when he cooks up the chicken or beef and has created a combination of rice, peppers, cheese, and other ingredients that never fails to satisfy. Even Max is happy when he makes those. His own recipe actually made it to the shack’s usual menu.

His favorite food to eat is spicy fish tacos. The owner of the little shack made the best ones he’d ever had, and no matter how hard he tried, he could never replicate them perfectly.

One of his biggest annoyances with Hawkins is the lack of real Mexican food and seafood. It’s just another thing he had to give up when he moved, but he can at least make a close interpretation of his burritos.   」
