Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces Mexican chorizo (2 links), casing removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups white wine
1 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
Two 5-pound bags P.E.I. mussels, cleaned
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
One 15-ounce bag frozen shoestring French fries
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp grater
Freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
Mayonnaise, for dipping

Steps:

For the mussels: In a large pot on medium heat, add the olive oil and chorizo. Break up the chorizo while cooking to create fine crumbles. Season with a nice pinch of salt and ground pepper and cook, stirring, until the bits and pieces are crisp, 5 to 8 minutes.
Add the wine, bring to a simmer and simmer for a few minutes. Stir in the cream. Immediately add the mussels and cover the pot with a lid. Jiggle the pot a bit to coat with the liquid on the bottom. Steam until most of the mussels are opened, about 5 minutes. Discard ones that do not open in the steaming process.
For the fries: Fry the shoestring French fries according to the package instructions.
Add the oil, garlic and a few grinds of pepper to a large bowl. Mix and mash to combine. Add the hot fries to the bowl and toss while sprinkling with the parsley. Serve with mayonnaise for dipping.
Sprinkle the mussels with the cilantro and serve with the fries.

2 tablespoons olive or cooking oil
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion, chopped
2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder
2 1/2 pounds ground chuck
Two 20-ounce cans diced tomatoes and green chilies
One 16-ounce can black, pinto or kidney beans, drained
One 8-ounce container sour cream
2 cups grated Cheddar
2 cups grated pepper jack
1 large onion, diced

5 Roma tomatoes, diced

2 bags corn chips (I like Frito's)
1 jar pickled jalapenos
Fried Corn Tortilla Strips, for serving, recipe follows
Peanut oil, for frying
1 bag corn tortillas, cut into 1-inch strips
Kosher salt

Steps:

In a large pot, add the oil, salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the onions. Cook over medium-high heat until tender, about 6 minutes. Add the chili powder and beef and break up into bits, cooking until done, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and beans. Stir and cover to cook for 20 minutes. Serve with a bar of toppings and freshly fried corn tortilla strips to use for utensils.
Bring at least 2 inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a Dutch oven or other large heavy pot. Add the tortilla strips one by one and fry in small batches until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle with salt.
