Jack FermonPacholas (Mexican ground beef)
This is a recipe from my childhood... I ate them when in my best friend's house, but never got how to make it until I researched in internet and experimented a little bit... Pacholas are a very traditional dish in the north/central part of Mexico (Guanajuato, Zacatecas, etc.)

Food ration :

100 ml

200 grams
bread
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Remove the seeds and roast/toast the peppers a bit in the grill. Do not burn them!
* Step 2
Cut the bread in tiny pieces (smaller than croutons) and soak them in a little bit of milk. It should be wet and will eventually tear up.
* Step 3
Chop the roasted peppers, the onion and the garlic.
* Step 4
Mix all ingredients in step 3 with the soaked (and squezed) bread. You can use the blender but I like to go more manual...
* Step 5
When you have a thick mix, add the meat and mix all together.
* Step 6
Create thin ovals/circles of the meat/pepper mixture using the tortilla maker (or just the hands.)
* Step 7
Fry them in hot oil. It will take about 1:30 minutes to cook each (45 seconds each side.)
* Step 8
For your own health, drain/dry the oil from fried pacholas with paper towels.
* Step 9
Serve with salad or with green onions (recipe below.)
