Texas-style nachos are not your average nachos. You know the kind I’m talking about – a disorderly pile of chips, unevenly loaded with various toppings that are recklessly placed one top. It’s like chip roulette…maybe your nacho chip will be soggy, maybe it’ll be completely naked and bare of any toppings, maybe it’ll have some toppings, or maybe it’ll just have a fragment of one. Honestly, it’s a mess. And that’s where these perfectly crafted, OG, Texas-style nachos come in.

Grab a drink and I’ll show you how to make this crowd-pleasing snack!

Vegan Filipino Picadillo

vegan giniling (aka filipino picadillo)

This vegan Giniling, also known as Filipino Picadillo, is the ultimate comfort food! It’s rich and savory, with the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and tangy.

Picadillo comes from the Spanish word picar, meaning to mince or chop. It is a traditional dish in many Latin American countries and the Philippines. In the Philippines, picadillo is commonly made with ground beef or pork, potatoes, onions, and garlic, and cooked in a rich tomato sauce. Depending  on the region, different ingredients such as raisins, carrots, and olives are added. It can be either soupy or more dry. Usually, the drier version is called giniling.

Growing up, we always had the ingredients for giniling on hand – and there was always a pot of rice in the rice cooker – so this dish was prepared often as it was easy, minimal, and fairly quick to make.

I have so many fond memories of this dish and I’m so happy I’m still able to enjoy it vegan! Grab a drink and let’s get to cooking the best vegan giniling!
