Fideo from Amá: A Modern Tex-Mex Kitchen (page 98) by Josef Centeno and Betty Hallock

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Most of the listed dried chiles (for Amá spice mix) can be replaced with chile powder.

    This was a great recipe for kids. I couldn’t find fideos, so I just broke up a combo of vermicelli and spaghetti noodles. I think the only difference is the lengths won’t be as even. One thing I hate about making spaghetti is you cook the pasta and sauce separately and the sauce never really sticks. For this recipe you cook the noodles in the sauce and the noodles absorb it as they would the water. It’s genius! I omitted the Mexican sriracha because the dish would have been way too spicy for my little ones.

    The fideo I found was in a 7 oz package instead of 5. I used chili powder instead of the spice mix. For the liquid option I chose vegetable broth. I used the whole tablespoon of the Mexican Sriacha p. 29 and wow was it spicy. I added some Mexican crema to mine to tone it down. Very flavorful. Next time I'll use less sriracha.

    Oddly bland but would try again with additional spices.
