Vietnamese Pork Buns (Bánh Mì) » RecipeCollage.com » March 25, 2025 — We love these, again so versatile. Taste great with a variety of veggies and different meats. Today we were on the open road driving across Canada. With a fridge filled with leftovers, we always like to use them up. Had some left over kebabs, with chicken, pork, beef & onions on them done in a garlic ginger chili marinate. We thought they would be good in Banh Mi.

Crusty buns 4-5
Mayo
Pork pate
Left over kebabs mixed with Sriracha
1 julienned carrot
Half cucumber julienned
Half red onion sliced
Green onion sliced
1 jalapeno thinly sliced
Handful of cilantro & lettuce of your choice
TBSP or two of fresh minced Garlic

Vietnamese Pork Buns (Bánh Mì) » RecipeCollage.com » March 25, 2025 — We add some Sriracha on the kebabs, remove from sticks and reheat in microwave til warm. Slice your crusty buns, spread pork pate on one side and mayo on the other side. You can omit the pate if you want, but it tastes really good in there. Put your lettuce in, add all your veggies, add your heated meat and top with cilantro.

These bring back a lot of childhood memories from my favourite Chinese food restaurant at House of Lam in New Brunswick.
We love these, we wish pork ribs weren’t so expensive but they are. They are a treat in our family, we don’t make them often!
Package of pork spareribs we like to use the bite size packages but you can use the full rack of ribs as well. Cut and separate all ribs. We boil them with some salt for about 20 minutes.
1 large onion chopped, 1inch pieces
1 green or red pepper chopped, 1inch pieces
Lots of garlic
Lots of ginger
2-3TBSP soya sauce
1-2TBSP cane sugar
Lime juice, squeezed from half a lime
4-6 diced Thai Chilis
1TBSP vegetable oil
1-2 sliced jalapenos

Chili Pepper Spareribs » RecipeCollage.com » March 25, 2025 — We use a large cast iron wok to cook these, but you can use any oven safe frying pan as well. Get your wok nice and hot, add the oil and spareribs. Stirfry for a minute. Then add your soya sauce, sugar, garlic and ginger. Stirfry 5 to 7 minutes stirring frequently. Add in your onions and half your chilis, Stirfry a another minute. Now I put the wok in oven under the broiler for a few minutes stirring the spareribs a couple times, leaving them til they get a nice color. Now I return them to stove and add in the peppers, I Stirfry additional 2-3minutes.

This is a chicken taquitos recipe. Oh so tasty! This is a must-try recipe. Looking for something new to make today?

Then add in your mascarpone mix very well until incorporated. I then mix in jalapeno but you can add in jalapenos/hot peppers when you add in the spices/garlic.

Chicken Taquitos » RecipeCollage.com » March 25, 2025 — I lay out a few tortillas at a time. I put a good 2TBSP of filling on each. I make a little log out of mixture on the tortilla and I wrap tightly so filling is packed in there nice.
Lucky smells chicken and Cheese, he’s going to wait right here hehe!

Chicken Taquitos » RecipeCollage.com » March 25, 2025 — I pack and roll them all. Then I put glue along the edge to seal them but you can glue them as you go if you want. After they are all rolled up I take my fingers and compress the inside on both ends. As it Fry’s it will come out some more as cheeses melt so don’t think you’re leaving to much room at ends.

Nachos

Leave a Comment / Beef / By Amanda and Tim / January 6, 2020 February 10, 2020

Nachos » RecipeCollage.com » March 25, 2025 — 3/4 – Pound ground beef
1 cut onion
4-5 cloves of garlic minced
Fried til meat is cook and vegetables are tender

Nachos » RecipeCollage.com » March 25, 2025 — Add 2-3TBSP taco spice

Nachos » RecipeCollage.com » March 25, 2025 — Mix well. Finish cooking.

Nachos » RecipeCollage.com » March 25, 2025 — These are our favorite nacho toppings, what are yours?
Ground beef
Green onions
Black olives
Tomatoes
Jalapeno harvarti
Jalapenos

Nachos » RecipeCollage.com » March 25, 2025 — One thing I can’t stand is soggy nachos!! They aren’t suppose to be soggy. If your using olives they have to be squeezed really well of their water. Tomatoes are excellent on nachos but don’t cook them on the nachos. Throw some optop when serving! They will make the chip soggy fast. I have to make a big batch of nachos cause my family loves them. I do 3 layers. Everything on each layer. Bake in a preheated oven 425F for about 10minutes. We serve sour cream and salsa on the side. Once in a while will have some guacamole too.
I bake these in individual cast iron skillets so everyone gets to make/have their own nachos.
How does your family do nachos?
