Does this officially make me a food snob? Check this link to a recipe called Pastel Moctezuma.

Sounds impressive, doesn't it? Especially with the "c" in it.

It has seven ingredients, and two of them are salt and pepper.

It is part of the Disney website of "39 easy casserole recipes to make a hearty, delicious meal for any day of the week". A sure sign of the apocalypse.

See below for a link to the entire litany of 39.

"39 easy casserole recipes to make a hearty, delicious meal for any day of the week. " Don't bet...

...on it.

Michael

PS: I have gotten decent cookie recipes from Disney, so it's not all bad.

LOL. that's got to be the blandest casserole recipe ever.

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

Just to be fair: Link to a Disney Christmas cookie website. I've made some of these...

...and they're pretty good!

And we need to keep the tortillas warm because?????.........

I think these are someone's idea of kid-friendly...but the green chile enchiladas look good.

The recipe looks horrible, I give you that, but what do you have against the "c"?!?

 

[sylvia]

That, for want of a better word, "recipe", sounds disgusting.

 

[marilynfl]

Wait! Did you say BLAND? Here's the perfect recipe for Traca's ex!

Yes, Michael, it does. Welcome!

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

The "c" is correct, right? My beef comes when an Americanized recipe...

...that is so obviously not authentic by any definition, uses such an exotic sounding name. It seems a cheap attempt to entice and enthrall prospective cooks seeking something a bit more exciting than ground beef, salt and pepper.

Should be "Montyzoomas Lasagna", don'tcha think?

Okay Michael, that's just icky. I will post my mom's Pastel Montezuma tomorrow...

it's really yummy and has shredded chicken and is a great way to use up leftover turkey too!!!

 

[traca]

Too funny. He'd love it. The closer to greul...the better!

 

[traca]

Spell check: make that "gruel"

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

Thanks, Joe. Food Snob Am I.

 

[moyn]

Yes, the "c" is the correct spelling! I think they're going for Budin Azteca...

but failing miserably!

It should be called Pastel Blech!

 

[cheezz]

ugh - maybe one step up from Chef Boyardee... a small step

 

[tammyarcadia-ca]

Reminds me of the Randy Newman song "Great Nations of Europe"!
