Our daughter suggested a great Mexican restaurant for our supper last night. Sher and I went with her and our grandson and met our son-in-law at the Fresa Mexican Kitchen and Tequila Bar in Everett, Washington. She said that they had just happened on this place and were glad they tried it.

Chunky fresh guacamole with lime, onions, tomatoes and cilantro

We started our dining adventure with some delicious appetizers. The tray filled with Chunky Guacamole tasted as good as it looked. The golden brown Chile Poppers featured full size, not sliced, jalapenos with sour cream and a dish of strawberry jelly for dipping and my was that queso dip scrumptious!

On to the main courses, our daughter and our son-in-law shared steak and chicken fajitas for two (see video). Sher raved about her vegetarian enchiladas (see video) and Maj had steak fajitas. The fajitas all came with very generous helpings of rice, frijoles, guacamole, sour cream and lettuce and tomatoes. Of course plentiful tortillas, corn and flour, were also served.

The quality of this restaurant is truly outstanding. The family traditions of this establishment shine through in not only the service but the excellent cuisine. We were very impressed and have to rate this as one of the best Mexican restaurants we have enjoyed. When in the Seattle area, do yourself a favor and dine at Fresa Mexican Kitchen and Tequila Bar in Everett.  This is the Fresa website.

 

 

Cheesy bean enchiladas

/ Roadtirementvintage / 21 Comments

Tonight we had something we hadn’t made before. We love eating at the Mexican Restaurant, but wanted to try fixing something ourselves. Besides, it’s a lot cheaper making our own. It is surprisingly easy and delicious.

One bag of tortillas, we had the 10 pack, but only used 8. We used a 9×12 baking dish sprayed with pam. Mixed 1 can of refried beans and 1/2 jar of cheeze whiz ( I know, but it is good). We used 2 cans of enchilada red sauce, putting a little in bottom of baking dish and a little in the bean and cheese mixture. Then spooned the mixture onto the tortillas and wrapped them, so 8 fit in the dish. Then covered them with the rest of the enchilada sauce. Sprinkled on some Mexican shredded cheese. Baked for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Next time we will make some Mexican rice to go with it. All in all, we were pleased and added some wine (Alley Cat from a local winery) to our dinner and we had a nice dinner.
