My problem is i have learnt cooking all your recepies using a electric stove and oven. And now i am planning to shift my house… and my new apartment has gas connection… and the kitchen has gas oven. Once i tried makeing Roasted Chutney Paneer in my friends house ,she had gas oven and all the panner got stuck to the tray.It din cook properly. But in my current house i hav electric stove/oven.. and when ever i make the Roasted Chutney Paneer . it is perfet…
So my question is… is thr any difference in electric and Gas ovens…..which 1 is better.
Please i wil be happy if any one answers my question.

Hi Anuja,
They are the soft kind and make sure you get the ones that are made of corn. They can be bought at any grocery store (Walmart, Kroger etc.)

I LOVE this recipe. So simple yet so filling. I live in a place where it’s hard to find mexican food, so this is a perfect compensation.
I’ve tried adding all sorts of veggies like green beans, peas, and radish, so each time its a little different flavor. Thanks for posting

Hi Sha,
No, you cannot use flour tortillas for this soup. They will become mushy and slimy. Corn tortillas are a must.

Hetal tried this and it cameout superb…My hubby loved it a lot. BTW, corn tortilla was also not holding the shape, it was like shredded once it was cooked (even i used big pieces), never mind we loved the taste. I added taco seasoning too.
Next time i will saute the corn tortillas seperately and i’m planning to mix at the time of serving. Thanx ladies for ur yummy recipe.

If I want to add some proteins into this soup would you advice adding some beans into this soup in place of some mushrooms maybe or anything else?
Any tip would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Sarah,
Yes, you can definitely add some kidney beans, for example, to add some protein.

I used red enchilada sauce and vegetable stock as the base and added a can of tomatoes and the spices and vegetables in your recipe. Also served it over some rice and beans to make it a little more hearty. Thanks for all the great recipes and ideas!

Absolutely one of the best soups I have ever made. I make this frequently with my mother and we enjoy all the different vegetables and flavors. My favorite part of the soup is when you get down to the cheese and avocado on the bottom of the bowl. It just tastes so creamy and yummy. Thanks for sharing this! I have gotten so many compliments and people asking for this recipe. Thanks again!
