Pacholas (Mexican ground beef)

1. 1

   Remove the seeds and roast/toast the peppers a bit in the grill.

2. 2

   Do not burn them!

3. 3

   Cut the bread in tiny pieces (smaller than croutons) and soak them in a little bit of milk.

4. 4

   It should be wet and will eventually tear up.

5. 5

   Chop the roasted peppers, the onion and the garlic.

6. 6

   Mix all ingredients in step 3 with the soaked (and squezed) bread.

7. 7

   You can use the blender but I like to go more manual...

8. 8

   When you have a thick mix, add the meat and mix all together.

9. 9

   Create thin ovals/circles of the meat/pepper mixture using the tortilla maker (or just the hands.)

10. 10

    Fry them in hot oil.

11. 11

    It will take about 1:30 minutes to cook each (45 seconds each side.)

12. 12

    For your own health, drain/dry the oil from fried pacholas with paper towels.

13. 13

    Serve with salad or with green onions (recipe below.)
