Taco Bell is a chain of fast food joints that has prided itself on great Mexican food and very quick service. This joint was started in Irving, California in the United States of America. Its popularity grew so substantially that suddenly little franchises of Taco Bell started opening up in cities all over California and soon all over the west coast. As its popularity spread and the chain went national. Today there are nearly 5,800 restaurants in the United States alone. It popularity also spread around the world and there are Taco Bells in countries like Australia, Greece, China, Cyprus, Iceland, India and Mexico as well as other countries like the Philippines and Poland.
The main type of food offered at these restaurants is prepared in the Mexican style that is slightly adapted to suit the palates of the American public. Its most famous dishes are tacos and burritos. There are 14 different tacos on the menu each with its own unique style and stuffing. Traditionally the tacos are made from corn shells and here in this restaurant things are no different. There are tacos that can be ordered in a crunchy corn shell or in a soft flour tortilla depending on what you choose.
Most of the tacos are filled with ground beef that is cooked in spices, fresh vegetables like ripe tomatoes and lettuce and drizzled in special sauces that complement the stuffing. Each one is topped off with cheese. For those people who have gone the vegetarian route you can order the Crispy Potato Soft Taco that is filled with crispy potato bites instead of meat and the other stuffing is the same. Another specialty taco is the Volcano Taco that is served in a special red corn shell and topped off with a special molten lava sauce. This particular taco is very spicy and should only be tried by those who are brave of heart.
The other favorite is the burrito. There are 16 burritos that you can choose from. The only thing common in all these burritos is the fact that they are all wrapped in soft flour tortillas and are filled with spiced rice and beans apart from the other stuffing. Each burrito has a different variety of meats that have been prepared in their own special way. This is added to the regular stuffing with vegetables and a sour cream sauce and topped off with cheese. The sour cream sauce is reduced fat and the cheese is not too much, also the fresh veggies make this a healthy meal as well as a tasty meal.
Bell peppers are used for cooking food in many households all across the world and contains a rich history which originates from the region of Central and North America. Peppers are an exceptional choice for growing ground provisions from the dwelling place. In the early phase when the bell pepper is not yet well developed it may appear green but when it grows then it can turn into different colors like red, orange, green etc. At this stage the texture and the taste of the pepper will change. Locations with hotter climate are more appropriate for growing bell peppers because the plant thrives better in a warm weather.
Required Tools:
- Spade
- Gardening Fork
- Gardening trowel
- Rake
- Gardening knife
- Scissors
Required Materials:
- Bell pepper seeds
- Water
- Compost
- Fertilizer
Instructions are as follows:
1. First pay for your pepper seeds from a reputable farm house that is recognized for selling quality seeds. Plant the seeds into a 2 inch pot about ¼ inch deep, two weeks before you decide on planting it outside. The germinate process will take place within six to eight days. When the first set of leaves begin to appear, then you can begin planting one seed per pot.
2. Now begin to prepare the land to plant the pepper seeds. This consists of finding soil that is damp, clearing out all the stones with the rake and digging the location, and also applying manure and other fertilizers.
3. Create lines with the spade and fork which are about 24 to 36 inches apart from each other to plant the seeds. Every seed should be around 18 to 24 inches apart from each other. Once the temperature and the weather are right then you can start transposing the seedlings outside from the pot. If the climate is still too cool then you may need to hold back the relocation for a couple more days. Contact bell apartments for more help.
4. After planting the bell peppers the earth will need to be mulched often in order to retain the soil's moisture and keep the weed from emerging. After the first pepper begins to grow then place around 2 tablespoons of fertilizer around every plant approximately six inches away from the stem along with water. This will increase the quality and amount of the pepper crop. Throughout the growth process, it will need to be watered frequently.
5. Bell peppers generally take 70 to 90 days to mature and will continue to produce until the weather becomes too cold. They are usually reaped when they grow into an palatable size. When they are young then they come out green and can also be harvested at that time. The mature ones on the other hand are red, yellow, orange, purple or green depending on the kind of bell pepper. When it is harvest time, rather than pulling off the plant, use a gardening knife or scissors to sever the plants.
6. After harvesting, thoroughly wash and dry the goods If you want the peppers to last for three weeks or more after they have been harvested then the peppers should be stored at 45 to 55 degrees and at relatively high humidity.
Tips and Warnings
* When the seeds are put in the pot refrain from wetting up the bell pepper seeds on point but rather holes into the base of the pots and place the water into a pot dish and permit the soil to soak up the water for a couple of minutes without letting it become too drenched.
*They are much more difficult to mature in cold regions and easier to be spoilt so if you reside in a cold area try to cultivate it in the hottest time periods. Linger until the soil is about 70 to 85 degrees before arranging the seedlings out. When the seeds are planted in the pots, you can use heat lamps to keep the soil warm to promote a more successful and faster fertilization.
