Fabulous Baked Rainbow Nachos

Let's wrap up Pride Month with a little Rainbow Tortilla Chips recipe! These colorful tortilla chips are not only aesthetically appealing, but they taste much like the plain store-bought Doritos! If you've ever made tortilla chips at home, you'll know that they hardly ever end up looking like the flawless store ones, well, here's a recipe that is a little bit more hard work than just toasting or frying corn tortillas, but it's totally worth the effort.

You'll start with cornmeal, not cornstarch, but actual yellow cornmeal, which is coarse and unprocessed, it looks like polenta but don't use polenta! The resulting dough may be unmanagable. For the basic recipe you'll need nothing more than cornmeal, water and salt. Now, since we're making Rainbow Tortilla Chips, we'll need a little something more.


4 Food Colors with Plant Based Ingredients



While I was developing the recipe for my Rainbow Tortilla Chips, I knew I wanted a natural alternative to store-bought food coloring, because I've always used them in desserts, and I've always disliked how much quantity I've needed to put to actually get a bright and vibrant color as opposed to the easily achievable pastel colors. And probably it's because of the brand I use, but most of those store-bought colors fade quite a lot after baking. So I started my quest for natural food colorings, and I found that very few people actually use natural coloring, despite the fact that all the colors are actually quite easy to achieve! The best thing is that I found brilliant chefs who incorporated these ingredients in colorful pasta. That might be my next project! Anyway, without more ado, let's get to the colors.

Chocolate Chip Milk Buns (no-knead)

Today I bring you an amazing recipe for soft, fluffy milk buns that require no strong or special bread flour, and no need to knead!

Milk buns (or pan de leche) are a staple of Spanish breakfast and "merienda" (afternoon snack), There are many varieties of this bread in supermarkets in Spain, but there's nothing like a freshly baked batch with a glass of milk.





It's hard to believe these yummy buns are so easy to make, but take my word for it! They are a no-brainer. Just make sure to use good yeast (if it doesn't froth up after 15 min, it's not active anymore!) and allow the dough to rest the appropriate times.
