Sublime Sunday: A Culinary Tour of a City in Mexico, part 1

avatar
(Edited)

The largest municipality in Mexico is Ensenada, which is surrounded by the Pacific and Sea of Cortez. 90% of Mexico's wine production comes from Ensenada, which is regarded as the nation's wine center and is home to more than 25,000 acres of vineyards.

We passed by sprawling vineyards, craggy sea cliffs and azul waters to historic architecture.

We finally reached our first destination, Las Lomas en Valle de Guadalupe (translated as The Hills in Guadalupe Valley).

We had the place to ourselves, all 22 of us from the cruise ship.

They served us unlimited Margaritas, which was super cold and refreshing!

Arriving at the venue about lunchtime, some of the cruisers were famished! They sat us on tables, but instead of placemats/holders, we had chopping boards!

Ensenada16.jpg

And the reason was Gerardo taught us how to make our own Mexican lunch! What a concept, lol.

Gerardo also talked their Mexican culture around food.

First, we made guacamole!

We made our guacamole with

  • 1/2 pc avocado
  • 1/8 cup white onion
  • 1/2 pc tomatoes (seed removed)
  • a little cilantro
  • 1/4 lime
  • salt to taste
  • and a bit of olive oil.

The guacamole was so fresh and good. I had some with my chips!

Many were so hungry that they consumed their guacamole, before Gerardo could say that we should leave some for the other dishes that we were going to prepare!

In the meantime, the Margaritas kept coming.

Next, we made enchiladas!

Ensenada17.jpg

Put the shredded chicken in the center of a freshly made and still warm tortilla, then roll it into a log. Add some green salsa on top if desired.

Top it with chopped lettuce, then drizzle with Mexican Crema Sauce.

Mexican crema, a thickened cream, is frequently drizzled over dishes that require a hint of richness, such as soups, tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. It is in between French crème fraîche and American sour cream in terms of texture and flavor. It is creamy and somewhat tangy.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
To make Mexican crema, you can mix

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream,
  • 1 tablespoon plain yogurt.

Stir the yogurt and cream together in a sealable jar. Once it gets quite thick, cover and leave it to rest at room temperature for 36 to 48 hours.

Stir in the

  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt,
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice.

Adjust the lime according to your taste. Mexican crema keeps for up to two weeks in the refrigerator, during which time it will continue to get thicker.
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────


Sprinkle all over with shredded Cotija cheese.

And finally the guacamole.
I placed lots of guacamole!
YUM!!!

Ensenada21.jpg

We ate our enchilada, and gosh,
it was D_E_L_I_C_I_O_U_S!

I was starting to be full

The Margaritas kept coming!

And yet we had another dish to prepare!

The bus was so noisy on our way back to the ship... if that's an indication of the fun we all had.
The day was fruitful! Seen a lot, and leaned a lot, @silvertop 😃

I definitely like the idea that you were able to make your own Mexican dishes including guacamole, that sounds like fun!😀
I believe my youngest son has been on quite a few cruises to Mexico with National Geographic. I'm sure he will remember these cruises, and I'm sure you will as well @silversaver888 🤗😀

The food looks and tastes so good! I don't know why... maybe it's the fun we were having or something! I really like the enchilada, I never had it that way; it was always covered in red sauce or green sauce and overpowers the taste of all the other ingredients.

I tend to make chicken or beef fajitas. I use cumin and salt and pepper to taste and green chilis. I wrap it in a tortilla and put Tillamook cheddar on top and guac plus homemade salsa (fresh tomatoes, tomatillos, onions and garlic, cilantro and green chilis) on top. I microwave to melt the cheese first before adding the toppings. Add a bed of shredded lettuce and some refried beans and yummy!!!

Now I guess I'll have to make yours and then mine! (on another day as we've had dinner, lol)

Take care sis and enjoy the cruise! Love ya much!🤗😘😍 (on the DIY-I'm not sure, but keep trying) !HOPE

That's awesome Saver. It instantly reminded me of a little village in Peru or Bolivia, can't remember which. The bus ride was about 4 hours and when we got to the restaurant, they taught us traditional cooking for our lunch.

Looks like a great time.
