12 ounces 3 color veggie spiral pasta -- cooked, drained and cooled DO NOT RINSE
2 medium chicken breasts -- cooked, cooled and diced
1 medium chicken thigh -- cooked, cooled and diced
2 handfulls broccoli flowerets -- blanched and cooled

1 cup Slap YO Mama Real Buttermilk Dressing
1 1/2 teaspoons Slap YO Mama Cajun Spices
1/4 cup Pecorini Romano Cheese -- grated
Cook pasta according to directions, minus :30. Drain, let stand to cool
NOTE: I always use chilled leftover Beercan Chicken, I slice off the breasts, debone the thigh, remove the skin and dice into about 1/2" pieces or so and then slightly crumble with my hands.
Blanch small flowerets about 1:30, then drain and shock with cold water until just cool, then drain. Same with the zucchini, NOTE: just less time boiling.
In a large bowl, place the pasta and unstick it by hand gently first, Ithen add the chicken and veggies. Add 2/3 of the dressing, 1/2 of the spices and half the Cheese. Gently fold and mix well.
I let it stand for about 5 minutes, then add the rest of the dressing and mix softly but well.
You can remove 5 to 7 slices of the zucchini and top in a cirle and sprinkle the rest of the spice around the entire bowl and top with the rest of the cheese.
Place in fridge for a couple hours to chill well.

Mushrooms Seafood Summer
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 large tilapia fillets -- separated
2 bottles Dos Equis Lager
1 medium lime juice
1 teaspoon lime salt
1 tablespoon Fiesta Fajita Seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 large texas 1015 onion -- sliced 1/2" thick
1 medium red bell pepper -- sliced lengthwise
1 teaspoon lime salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon Fiesta Fajita Seasoning
1 medium lime juice
1 recipe Fajita Mushrooms
1 recipe Salsa Mango
1 recipe Rice la España
1 cup Oaxaca (Wah Hawka) Cheese -- finely grated
1 cup colby cheese -- finely grated
If you are making the entire dinner, you will need to start the roasted corn and garlic. This can be done a day or two in advance if you wish or just have it done before you go any further in this recipe. The Salsa Mango can be made that morning and kept chilled, along with the Guacmole.
Start onions and bell pepper marinating by placing them in a non-reactive bowl with one of the beers, 1 teaspoon of lime salt, garlic salt, 1 tablespoon of the fajita seasoning and juices from one of the limes. This can marinate for a couple hours or less, just stir a couple times.
After separating fillets (thick side from thin side), place in or on a deep platter and coat both sides with spices (lime salt, garlic salt, fajita seasoning) now pour over lime juice and add beer, let stand 15-30 minutes, turning mid point.
Over high heat add fajita mushroom hobo pack to indirect rack for about 20 minutes, then on flat griddle pour tablespoon of olive oil and spread and add onion and bell pepper mix and a little of the marinate. Cook, turning often and adding marinade to steam. When done, pull to plate and reheat grill to high heat, add olive oil to coat, season fillets and place thick sided fillets on grill, season side down, then season the other side on the grill. Pour a little marinade around and close lid to steam. On the first turn of the thick fillets, add thin side of the fillets and steam the same way.
Pull when done.
Serve tilapia, onions, bell peppers and mushrooms in traditional fajita manner, with fine grated Oaxaca and colby cheeses, guacmole, Salsa Mango, picante or hot sauce, heated flour tortillas and Modelo Especial and lots of lime.
Suggested Wine: Modelo Especial Cervanza or a home made Sangria
Serving Ideas : Salsa Mango, Rice la España, Fajita Mushrooms
NOTES : Pull Tilapia fillets apart width wise to place on tortilla.

Summer
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 pounds 100% Fresh ground chuck -- 4-10 ounce patties
4 cloves roasted garlic -- diced fine
Sprinkle garlic pepper
Sprinkle Limon Salt -- lightly
To Coat Bayou Sam's Triple Blast! -- lightly
4 slices Texas 1015 Onion -- 1/2" thick slices
4 slices American cheese
4 slices Smoked Edam Cheese
1 head green leaf lettuce
4 each Kings Hawaiian Hamburger Rolls
3 small Roma tomato -- sliced
8 slices Claussen Dill Stacker Slices -- chilled
To Taste Zatarains Creole Mustard
To Taste Hellman's Mayonaise
To Taste Heinz Ketchup
Roast garlic in oven until golden brown (about 30 minutes @ 300 in a small clay roaster), let cool, dice very fine. Using only the best quality, fresh ground chuck (I get a chuck roast and have them grind it, that way you know it's all chuck), make 4 loose 10oz balls, next incorporate a clove of the finely diced roasted garlic and form into UN-uniform patties 1/2-3/4" thick.
Sprinkle or coat to taste with Limon Salt, garlic pepper and Bayou Sam's Triple Blast!
Coat onion slices lightly with olive oil and place on medium to high heat grill. After you've seared each side well, place beef patties on grill and place onion on top of patty. Keep on patty until just before topping patty with either or both cheeses. Discard or save onion, you're choice. Don't cook patties over medium well.
If you're lucky (or trashy) enough to still have a coffee can of grease on your stove, coat both sides of the Hawaiian Rolls and toast on a flat griddle or the grill.
Build your burger with your favorite condiments. These listed are some of mine.
Enjoy the summer while you can.
Even if you don't like spice, if you can't get Bayou Sam's Triple Blast, don't fire up the grill.™
