Whether one likes it spicy or not, there always seems to be something on the Mexican menu sure to please a crowd. If you need to freshen up your cookbook with some comida deliciosa, check these out, ándale!
Ole! Try something different for breakfast, or even for a light dinner-a combination of eggs with home made re-fried beans, guacamole, salsa, and crispy tortilla strips to dip? What a perfect way to to wake up. You can make your eggs however you wish, mix up the accompaniments with either bought or home made, or even pile everything in a tortilla and eat it like a breakfast burrito. Either way, this is a delicious way to begin the day.
For a Mexican-style garnish, top this hearty soup with sour cream, shredded cheese and fresh cilantro leaves. If you don’t have chorizo, substitute hot Italian sausages and add 1 tsp sweet or smoked paprika.
Blackened and juicy, these chicken thighs are some of the best you'll ever eat in a taco. Slice them thinly and stuff into small tortilla shells, topping with fresh mango salsa. You'll never want to go back to tacos from a box again!
Corn is juicy and sweet and a mouthful of yum. Sure, you can boil it and it’s still good. But, grilling takes corn from good to great. It's like corn porn.
If you've ever had those awful, rubbery corn tortillas from the store, I don't blame you if you don't like them. I personally could never stomach them. Home made corn tortillas, however, are a completely different animal-full of flavor, soft and pliable, not rubbery at all.
I add the hot sauce in as a garnish so it's not too spicy for the kids but I can ratchet up the heat for the adults. A delicious and filling appetizer or main that's ready for dinner whenever you are—what more can you ask for from a recipe?
There’s very little to compare sweet, fresh from the farm California avocados to, especially when they are mashed up with lime and jalapeno.
It’s hot outside and you need a way to cool off. Why not try your hand at making sorbet? If you have an ice cream maker this is hands down one of the coolest way to eat your fruit.
Nothing spells P-A-R-T-Y like a good quinoa salad, or at least like this fiesta-in-a-bowl! Not only is this salad chock full of protein, fibre, iron, potassium, and Vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, but it is also chock full of amazing flavor.
We had Mexican on the menu the other evening and, as usual, I was left with a bunch of tex mex leftovers. All the good stuff—avocados, some salsa, some refried beans, and sour cream. So yummy! I decided to try something different and came up with an idea for some vegetarian-style stuffed peppers.
Canned salsas are great to have on hand, but sometimes you want to whip up something fresh in the moment. Here are three simple serve-right-away salsas to enjoy.
I’d rather spend my time visiting and well enjoying a beverage myself. This is why I’ve come to perfect the pitcher drink and as my warm weather gift to all of you I’ve compiled a list of my Top Five Pitcher Drinks in five ingredients or less!
If it wasn't for the chopping of a few toppings, and the never-easy opening of a jar of salsa, I would argue that you couldn't even call this making dinner.
Yes, it's that easy!
As the farmer’s markets become more and more loaded with produce, it’s fun to invent new ways to incorporate all the bounty into meals. These tostadas are a bit messy to eat, but they are loads of fun to make.
The seasoning base is great for tacos, Mexican dip, fajitas, or an enchilada bake I've been making recently that my husband likes to call Mexican Lasagna.This stuff is also awesome to give away as a gift. You can make a double plus batch and put it in this cute little mason jar and give a gift that makes people yell olé!
Serve with chips, crackers, or just eat with a spoon. Try not to eat the whole thing but if you do, hide the evidence!
This is my favourite fajita recipe. Forget about buying those little packets of seasoning, make your own. It is cheaper and healthier, and faster!
Want a fun dinner on a busy night? In our house, nachos are a very rare treat because we consider them more in the junk food area but even so, I seem to find a way to load them up with veggies.
This week’s lesson: when life hands you tomatoes, make salsa!
Is there any better condiment than fresh salsa? I think not. Fresh salsa is especially delicious when made with sweet, vine ripened tomatoes.
In the summer, when peppers are abundant and relatively inexpensive, it’s a great time to experiment with roasting them. Whether you have a BBQ or use your oven, both are effective ways to roast up a pepper.
This burrito bowl recipe includes rice, beans, corn and chicken. If you like guacamole add it on top of your burrito bowl and if you don’t, save it for your nacho chips.
I'm not sure how you say orgasm in Spanish. But I'm going to assume it's 'Pambazos.' It's a sinfully delicious vegetarian combo of refried beans mixed with spicy and flavour-packed chili in adobo sauce, layered with home-roasted pablano peppers, fried eggplant, lettuce, and avocado... smothered with red enchilada sauce and finally grilled in a panini press.
