Vegan Chilaquiles recipe

Chilaquiles are a traditional Mexican breakfast dish made with tortillas.

In central Mexico, it is common for the tortilla chips to remain crisp. To achieve this, all ingredients except the salsa are placed on a plate and the salsa is poured at the last moment before serving. In Guadalajara, cazuelas are kept simmering, filled with chilaquiles that become thick in texture, similar to polenta. In the state of Sinaloa, chilaquiles are sometimes prepared with cream. In the state of Tamaulipas, on the northeast side of the country, red tomato sauce is commonly used. In the state of San Luis PotosΓ­, it is also common to serve chilaquiles with cecina rather than pulled chicken.

Oh you want to apply to our job that is paying minimum wage? Sorry but you actually need a year of experience of work to apply. How the fuck does this make sense? lmao

Sorry, just getting annoyed that I can't get any work

Don't get trapped in The Kitchen Cycle, but if you need a job, wash dishes. Kitchens are the only gigs that getting a job is generally a fair process. Don't go for a chain, try around a few local places that are one location, chains make you jump through hoops. Show up with a resume somewhere between 2 and 4:30 on a weekday, the chef will be there at those times most likely and then passing your resume over doubles as an interview. Usually if you pass that meet n greet which just means you aren't 4 babies in a trench coat you get a trial shift. Just bust your ass on that and keep up, it'll be really really hard at first. I can teach you how to make it easy. Let the machine do the work and pay attention to detail. Efficiency and priority are top. Don't scrub every dish, rack em and give a quick blast wirh rhe hose and send em through the machine and then keep an eye on em on the clean side, you'll have to maybe redo 2 or 3 but the majority are through. Keep your stack dirty dishes organized by where they go and try to have each rack all be for one section as best as possible so putting stuff away flows with the air drying needed and the washing time on the machine. It will feel really hard at first but you'll learn. You can also then learn some food stuff thar translates to useful home skills if you ask chefs and cooks about it and help out. Don't become a cook. Im a sous chef and its the most work for the least pay ever and I thought that'd be fine cause of the low amount of bullshit, then the concept of just getting by died

Thank you for the advice. I'm kind of a dummy so I didn't even really know you could just go to a restaurant and ask if they need a dish washer. I'll probably go out this Monday and see if any places are hiring

Its the right time of year for hiring usually. School is out and it's tourist time soon. Tell whoever you talk to first youre looking for a dish gig and ask if the chef is around. Pull an 'if its not too busy can I have a quick peak at the pit?' The dish station is called rhe dish pit normally. Then ylure using lingo and they know you have enough brains to see what your workplace is gonna look like before taking a shift cause it could be top to ottoman mold, I've seen it. You also usually get free food out of it. The guy washing dishes where I work is my hero, he watched the pizza oven, he keeps my app and salad line stocked cause I can't causenim also calling orders and doing expo, never asked him to never ever would. Same with takeout boxes. When there's an allergy and I need a clean cutter he relat passes it right into mt hand exactly when I need it. A bad dishwasher is okay. Ab okay dishwasher is fine. A good dishwasher is great and a great dishwasher is a saint. Anywhere half decent its where the chef started. How to tell which places are a nightmare and which won't be is hard to sniff out as a book, but clean kitchen is usually a good start, small menu as well is generally a good sign. Depending on where you live once you've had a dish gig under your belt and know the basics they aren't hard to get, so if the place sucks or you just get bored, hit da bricks and work at a different restaurant, you learn how different places work and different food stuff quick that way too. Being a cook is a fairly rewarding but backbreaking dead end poverty wage job, don't do it, but itf youre gonna dish, learning how to food while youre at it is handy af

Apply anyway. Either they are lying about the requirement or you have annoyed them a little for being shitty.
