2022 Best of the Best Mexican Recipes

These Picadillo Stuffed Poblano Peppers want to be part of your life!  I stuffed these with a hearty beef mixture and they were dee-licious.  Don't forget to roast the Poblanos as that is the key to unlocking their unique flavor. 

This Potato Bacon Poblano Soup is the very definition of comfort food!   It's a hearty, filling soup that benefits from a hint of that sweet roasted Poblano flavor.  Serve it with sandwiches or a crispy, cheesy tortilla and it will do all the comforting that you ask of it 🙂

 

I make these Pickled Jalapenos and Carrots about once per month, and yes, you can munch on them straight from the jar!  But they also work wonders on tacos, eggs, sandwiches, and even as a final burst of acidity on soups.  Please try this one out if you're new to it as it's one of the most popular recipes on the site. 

 

 

You really can’t beat Arroz con Pollo for a one-pot meal — with minimal effort you get a savory meal that is far superior to your local takeout options.  Feel free to get creative with the scrumptious rice over the coming days.  You can use it in so many creative ways:  burritos, tacos, tostadas, or even just mixed with some black beans.

Keep this impromptu Bean Dip in mind for weeknights when nothing sounds good -- it's fast, easy, and wildly satisfying!  I dip some crispy, cheesy corn tortillas in it and all is well in the world for a few bites 🙂

 

This is a quick meal that I was making all the time when first learning about Mexican food.  The Avocado Salsa Verde was an absolute revelation for me and it can turn any burrito into a masterpiece.   I still come back to this combo on a regular basis for some easy, satisfying meals 🙂

 

 

I get so much mileage from Pico de Gallo!  It's super easy to make and you can easily design quick, satisfying meals around it, like Vegetarian Breakfast Burritos, Molletes, Chicken and Guac Quesadillas, and of course....Black Bean Nachos!

 

 

 

 

The combo of chipotle-infused beef and Pico de Gallo is all you need for a quick, satisfying batch of burritos — that’s the key to these Easy Ground Beef Burritos.  Sure, you can load them up with other fixings if you want, but I regularly come back to this simple combo when I’m craving a delicious, no-thinking-involved meal.

 

Keeping some Charro Beans in the fridge will lead to quick-n-easy meals like these Charro Bean Tostadas.   Charro Beans are absolutely loaded with flavor so you really don't need much else to make these Tostadas -- I topped with Pickled Jalapenos, Queso Fresco, and some freshly chopped cilantro....yum!

 

 

 

I seem to crave this Beef Birria about once every three months or so, have you tried it yet?   When you let the beef simmer away in a sauce made from dried chiles then really, really good things will happen 🙂

 

And what list would be complete without mentioning these chipotle-infused refried beans?  I get TONS of mileage from this recipe and use them in so many different ways, including these Refried Bean Tostadas and these Spicy Bean and Egg Burritos.
