Step 1: Esquite

Esquite is Mexican street corn, but it's in a bowl instead of serve straight on the cob as Elote.

If you haven't tried it--it's definitely worth a go!

Dump the frozen corn into a crock pot with the butter.

Let it cook on high for 3 hours.

After the corn is finished cooking, serve it up in a mug or bowl:

Scoop in one cup of corn.

Add a tablespoon or 2 of mayonesa. (or mayo and some lime juice)

Sprinkle of Tajin. (I went a little light on this because it was new...but I love it, so taste test it and add more if desired)

And add 2 tablespoons of queso fresco cheese crumbles. (can also use cotija)

Then stir it all up.

I added green onions on top and in future I'd add in more--I love green onions.

Step 2: Carne Asada Tacos

Empty the carne asada meat into a skillet and cook on medium/high.

Add the Just Sauce packet and cook for 2 minutes.

Warm up the tortillas and place 2-3 strips of carne asada in each tortilla.

I was able to make 25 street tacos with one pound of meat!

I bought 2 packages of tortillas, 12 in each package...and I got a bonus tortilla--so each of us got 5 tacos...and it was too much for me, I passed one off to my teenage son.

I served the tacos with a bowl of esquite, with the intention of adding a spoonful to each taco while eating it.

They were really awesome--worked really well together--and everyone got full and said they'd happily eat them again!

I loved that I could feed my whole family so easily with one pound of cooked carne asada!

What is a Mole Rat?

Mole rats are mutated creatures found in the Fallout series, known for their subterranean lifestyle and aggressive behavior. These creatures are a result of genetic mutations caused by radiation exposure following the Great War. Mole rats have adapted to their underground habitats, with large, burrowing claws that allow them to tunnel through soil and rock with ease.

In appearance, mole rats resemble large rodents with elongated bodies, sharp teeth, and pinkish skin. They are often encountered in dark, underground areas such as tunnels, caves, and sewers, where they scavenge for food and attack anything perceived as a threat.

Mole rats are highly territorial and aggressive, often attacking wastelanders and other creatures on sight. They pose a significant threat to unwary travelers due to their ability to ambush from underground tunnels and overwhelm with their numbers.

In gameplay, mole rats are common enemies encountered by players in various Fallout games, including Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and Fallout 4. They are typically found in groups and can be challenging to deal with, especially in confined spaces where their burrowing abilities give them an advantage.

Fallout Fandom Recipes Cookbook: Video Game Food

My fellow Vault Dwellers, the Fallout Universe is full of unique and questionable foods!

Recreating fictional food from Fallout in a real-life cooking experience is a flavorful fusion of gaming geekery and gastronomy.

In the immersive world of Fallout, iconic dishes like squirrel on a stick and West Virginia pepperoni rolls satisfy the taste buds and hunger meter, becoming virtual symbols of post-apocalyptic sustenance.

Turning pixels to plates, this culinary cookbook offers the fandom an opportunity to transform gaming nostalgia into tangible, delectable creations.
