Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce. Both food items were tasty and satisfying.  My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I first visited Poquitos in 2012, also for happy hour, and I remembered liking it then, too. It was time for a meal there again.  For dessert, we walked about ten minutes west to  Voodoo Doughnut . The Seattle location opened late last ye...

How to make Cheetos Mozzarella Sticks in the Air Fryer

 

Flamin' Hot Cheetos and Crunchy Cheetos Mozzarella Sticks, made in the Air Fryer! 


My family and I love chips, especially Cheetos! We're also Mozzarella Stick fans, so why not combine the two? If you have an air fryer, then these are a cinch to make! There's a lot of recipes online for Cheetos Mozzarella Sticks, so I randomly chose one, then adapted it to my liking. The one I used is from here. But they missed the important step of freezing your cheese sticks before cooking them. This way, all of the cheese actually stays inside the breading. I looked at a few recipes, so luckily I knew this. You also need to remember to use parchment paper in your air fryer so melted cheese doesn't ooze everywhere. I also doubled the recipe I used, since it only called for four cheese sticks. We ended up making eight. 

Our cheese sticks were, well, ultra cheesy! You really have to have a love of melted cheese and Cheetos to enjoy these. And don't forget some Ranch for dipping! Between the two kinds of Cheetos we used, our favorite was the spicey Flamin' Hot Mozz sticks! So spicy and so cheesy! 


Cheetos Mozzarella Sticks


Ingredients:


8 Mozzarella Sticks

2 eggs

1 cup all purpose flour

2 Grab Bags of Cheetos, either the Crunchy or Flamin' Hot, or both  


Directions:


Unwrap your cheese sticks and set aside. In a food processor, grind Cheetos until small. Set aside. In a bowl, crack two eggs and mix together. Pour your flour into another bowl. Take one cheese stick and coat it into the egg, then the flour, then the Cheetos mixture. Coat the cheese in the egg again, and then the Cheetos mixture one more time. Make sure the cheese stick is evenly coated. Set on a try and repeat with the remaining cheese sticks. Freeze the tray of cheese sticks for at least 30 minutes. Preheat air fryer to 370 degrees for 5 minutes. Line the basket with parchment paper and cook the cheese sticks for 4-5 minutes. Enjoy!
