Reviewing: Hellofresh crispy chicken legs with scallion chimichurri and black beans over lime rice.

1 serving prepared

The full recipe can be found on the Hellofresh website.

Here's what you get:

Scallion

Roma tomato

Black beans

Chicken leg

Jasmine rice (not used)

Garlic

Lime

Chicken stock concentrate

Southwest spice blend

Sour cream

So many of these recipes include rice and I'm having rice-fatigue so I'm substituting diced roasted potatoes (1 cup). The beans were drained while the other items were prepared.

The protein:

After this was pretty straightforward you just salt and season with the Southwest season and get it into the preheated oven.

The not rice:

Instead of rice I used pre diced potatoes, a little bit of oil and put some of the Southwest season then set to the side. These went in later, about 16 minutes before the chicken was set to be done placed in the same pan.

The tomato and beans:

This is also pretty straightforward the garlic and tomato were cooked first and then the beans added to the pan Once everything was complete it was set to the side.

The chimichurri and crema:

Another easy make, I put them together while the beans were cooking and set them aside.

The plate!

I really like this dish and was very glad I subbed the rice for potatoes. Doing so actually cut down on additional cooking time and prep work, mainly because I already had some diced potatoes that needed to be used.

No limes were shot across the room this time, win! I'll definitely be trying this dish again. Of the three selections for the week this one was the quickest to complete.

Cheese tortilla party

Making: Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder 30 Grams butter powder 419 grams hot water Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked. Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form. The plate! - Kris
