Hi guys, this is an easy recipe that I know you have seen a lot but I have never made this one before, so I am now making and sharing with you.  This recipe for guacamole is great for snacking with chips, adding to tacos, tostadas and more.

This is so much better than store bought and I know the ingredients that was put into it.  For this recipe I made just enough to last a few days, because as you know guacamole turns brown quickly due to exposure to air.  So when making this fresh I would only make enough for a few days as not to waste it.  I also have a video up on my YouTube channel Ruthycancook showing how I put this together so head over there and subscribe as well.

Ingredients:

4 ripe avocados
1 medium size onion
2 tbsp fresh cilantro
1 lime juiced
2 Roma tomatoes
Salt to taste

Steps:
Dice the tomatoes and remove the seed set aside. Then dice the onion and set aside.
Chop cilantro and set aside.
In a bowl put in the avocados and using a fork or masher begin mashing the avocados.  If you like chunky don’t over mash.
Then add in the other ingredients and give it a good mix.  Taste for salt and add in 1 or 2 of the avocado seeds and put in fridge in an airtight container.

Note: The avocado seeds with help with it not browning so quickly.

Hi guys, I know I have posted this recipe before but this time I have a video on it and wanted to that with you.

These flautas are just so good and much healthier now that we are using an air fryer rather than frying them in a lot of oil.  Feel free to check out my video on on my channel Ruthycancook and subscribe while you are there.

Ingredients:

1-½ lbs. of meat of your choice (rotisserie chicken, steak, etc.)

1 pk of Corn tortillas

2 cups Cheese of your choice (I normally use a Mexican cheese)

Oil for air fryer 1 tsp. (I use a spray bottle with oil)

Toothpicks

Steps:

Take the cooked meat and try to cut them into strips so they fit the length of tortilla.

Take a tortilla and put the meat, and come cheese inside and then roll the tortilla into a tube. Place toothpicks if needed to hold the Flautas together.

Air fryer: Put them in the air fryer one by one at 380 for about 10 minutes.  Note: Check to make sure they are at the crispness you want.

Chicken seasoning (if not using rotisserie)

Chicken seasonings

1 tbsp. Sazon complete

1 tbsp. Adobo

½ tbsp. Garlic powder

½ tbsp. Onion powder

2 cups of Chicken broth

1 pk of Sazon

3 tbsp. safrito  ( I have a video on this)

Cook in crockpot for 3 hours on high then let cool and shred the chicken.

Note: Spanish seasonings should be found in the Spanish aisle of store.

Hi guys, this recipe comes from my youngest daughter Eve.  She put this recipe together using what she had in her pantry and fridge.  Being in college she had become very creative in the kitchen.   As she tells me this recipe was inspired to due low funds and lack of room in fridge.  All of which a college student faces.  She sent this to me and told me I needed to put this on my website, so that is what I am doing.

This recipe did not take many ingredients and was very easy to make.  I am very pleased that my daughter isn’t just eating Ramen soups everyday,.  She is making exciting new recipes that are simple, exciting and delicious.  I hope you give this a try and let me know what you think.  This is very good and mom approved lol.
