These Frito Pie Croquettes will be a game changer at your next social gathering.
Tasty Frito Pie
Chili (store-bought is fine, too):
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp cumin
1½ tsp salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
Breading:
1 (9.25-ounce) bag Fritos® corn chips
Flour, for coating
2 large eggs, beaten
Neutral oil, for frying
Toppings:
Crema, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese
Make the chili: Cook the ground beef in a large pan over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, or until browned and crumbly. It’s okay if it’s not cooked completely. Remove the beef to a plate with a slotted spoon.
Add the onion and garlic to the drippings in the pan. Cook and stir for about 1 minute, or until soft and fragrant.
Return the beef to the pan and add the tomatoes, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper. Use a potato masher to break the tomatoes into smaller pieces so the sauce spreads. Simmer for about 7 minutes, then taste and adjust seasonings.
Pour the chili into a food processor and mix until everything is the same size.
Let the chili cool in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the breading: Working in batches, place the corn chips into a food processor and blend until the size of bread crumbs. Set aside.
Use your hands to form the cooled chili into patties, coat gently with flour, and place on a sheet tray. Place the tray in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Dip the chilled patties in the beaten eggs, then press in the corn chip mixture to evenly coat. Return to the tray and place in the freezer for 10 more minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 2 inches oil in a large pot over medium-high heat to 350°F (180°C).
Fry the patties in hot oil until golden brown on both sides. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Top with desired toppings, and enjoy!

Better Cinnamon Rolls!
Found a new way to make cinnamon rolls! I had leftover babka dough, so I decided to get crazy and try a new cinnamon roll technique. Thank you, @richardbertinet, for the inspo and technique!! The babka/brioche-style dough meant I could let it cook for a touch longer, allowing more browning, caramelizing, and flavor…Really easy braid technique and finally a use for your muffin tins!

Did you know you can turn any wok into a smoker, and you can smoke any protein without a grill or smoker! Just be sure to do this outdoors unless you want your house to smell like the Fourth of July. First make a delicious smoke blend with just rice, sugar, and tea leaves. I also added spices and cocoa powder. Add the blend to a wok, then after you cook your proteins, smoke them in the wok, kinda like steaming food but without water, for the best smoky flavor because…
The full recipe is in the cookbook Modern Asian Kitchen, page 114
Spice blend recipe:
¼ cup tea leaves (any) or barley tea
¼ cup granulated sugar (or rock sugar)
3 tablespoons uncooked rice
2 star anise
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
A few Sichuan peppercorns, crushed
Mix together all the ingredients and make a pouch for the blend with aluminum foil. (Use two layers of foil.)
Instead of my marinade sauce, you can use BBQ sauce. Fully cook the protein first, then smoke in a wok over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side, over medium-low heat. *hand emoji* *star eyes emoji* and *peace sign emoji*
If using a bamboo steamer, soak the steamer thoroughly in water first, for about 15-30 minutes, like you would soak bamboo skewers before BBQ/grilling.
A taste of summer with @brandongouveia Vibrant Grilled Pineapple Chimichurri Chicken. It’s simply delicious and full of fresh flavors. Full recipe below!
Grilled Pineapple Chimichurri Chicken
Ingredients
Chicken:
2 lb chicken thighs, skin on and deboned
¼ cup olive oil
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
½ tablespoon smoked paprika
½ tablespoon garlic powder
½ tablespoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon cumin
Pineapple Chimichurri:
½ pineapple
1 cup olive oil
½ cup red wine vinegar
½ cup chopped parsley
½ cup chopped cilantro
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 red chile pepper, minced
Instructions
1. Prepare the chicken: In a large bowl, add the chicken thighs, olive oil, bouillon, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt, black pepper, turmeric, and cumin. Mix until evenly coated. Let marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate to marinate for longer.
2. Preheat the grill to 375°F (190°C) and oil the grates.
3. Place the chicken thighs, skin-side down, on the prepared grates and cook for about 6 minutes, then flip. Continue cooking for an additional 6 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165°F (73°C). I usually pull mine at 160°F (71°C) and let the carryover cooking finish it.
4. While the chicken thighs cook, prepare the chimichurri: Place the ½ pineapple for the chimichurri on the grill, flipping every few minutes. Pull when charred on both sides, about 10 minutes, then dice. In a medium bowl, mix together the diced pineapple, olive oil, vinegar, parsley, cilantro, garlic, and chile pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.
5. Remove the chicken from the grill and place on a plate.
6. Spoon the chimichurri on top of the juicy grilled chicken thighs, and enjoy!
Next time you go grocery shopping, don’t forget the strawberries, and try this easy strawberry cheesecake lumpia recipe.
Tasty Strawberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls
Sauce:
¼ lb strawberries, halved
1/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp sumac (optional)
1 cup water
2 tbsp cornstarch
Egg Rolls:
1 lb strawberries, cut into ½-inch cubes
8 oz cream cheese, softened
8 oz Greek yogurt (I recommend lemon flavored)
½ cup sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
Egg roll or lumpia wrappers
Neutral oil, for frying
Make the sauce: Combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and sumac in a medium saucepan. Let sit for 15 minutes to draw out the moisture.
Add the water to the strawberry mixture. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat, strain, and return the liquid to the saucepan.
Whisk in the cornstarch. Place the saucepan over medium heat and slowly bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Cook until the sauce is thickened. Set aside.
Make the egg rolls: Mix together the strawberries, cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, and lemon juice in a large bowl until well combined. Place in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, or until chilled.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat work surface. Place a small amount of filling down the center of the wrapper and roll to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
Heat 2 inches oil in a large pot over medium-high heat to 350°F (180°C).
Fry the egg rolls in hot oil for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack until slightly cooled.
Cut the egg rolls in half and drizzle with the strawberry sauce to serve.

Here’s how to make miso black cod – a simple recipe that requires only 5 ingredients! Start by rinsing the black cod with sake to remove any fishy odor, then pat dry with paper towels. Make the marinade by mixing together equal parts white miso paste, sake, and mirin in a medium bowl, then adding 1-3 teaspoons of sugar, depending on your preference. Reserve about ¼ cup of the marinade to use later, then add the fish to the remaining marinade, cover, and let sit in the refrigerator for a few hours, or up to 2 days. Remove the fish from the marinade and let the excess drip off, then place skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 12 minutes, until the meat is white and opaque, depending on the thickness of the fish. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the cod with some of the reserved marinade. Remove from the oven, then brush with another thin layer of sauce and broil or use a blowtorch to caramelize the top.

Polvoron is a no-bake shortbread-style cookie that is popular in the Philippines. This sweet treat doesn’t get as much recognition here in the states as ube, halo halo, and turon, but we promise it deserves just as much love! It doesn’t hurt that we added fruity pebbles to the mix to give it a modern twist. Ingredients 2 cups cake flour 1 cup milk powder ¾ cup sugar 12 tablespoons (¾ cup) unsalted butter, melted 1 cup Fruity Pebbles Preparation 1. Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. 2. Add the flour to a medium pan and toast, stirring constantly, over low heat until the color changes to a light tan and the flour smells roasted, 15–25 minutes. 3. Transfer the toasted flour to a large bowl. Add the milk powder and sugar and mix well to combine. 4. Mix in the melted butter, then add the fruity pebbles and mix until incorporated, breaking up any large clumps of dough. 5. Scoop the dough into a polvoron mold, using the side or bottom of the bowl to make sure it is tightly packed, then release onto the prepared baking sheet. (If you do not have a polvoron mold, a tablespoon measure will also work well). Repeat until all of the dough has been shaped. 6. Place each polvoron in a paper cupcake liner, or wrap in colorful cellophane as is traditionally done in the Philippines. 7. Enjoy!
