Corn Tortillas Made From Popcorn Kernels
Homemade Tortillas continue to be in demand during these crazy times, so lately I’ve been getting this question more frequently: I have popcorn kernels at home can I use them to make tortillas? I’ve never had a great answer for this question, but I do now as I was quite surprised how good tortillas can…
Mole Sauces and Ingredients
The time has finally come to add Mole sauces to the site! I’ve had moderate success with Mole sauces in the past, but I always wanted to refine them a little more before sharing. Well…hello refining!

Chiles Toreados
You’ll frequently see taquerias offering up these Chiles Toreados as a side dish.

Spicing up your meal is their most common role, but they are super tasty right out of the pan so I’ll sometimes…
Extra Hot Pickled Jalapenos

I’m constantly tweaking the serving style of these eggs, but the main attraction — poached eggs served up in a delicious Salsa broth — is a verified home run and it’s…

This Easy Taco Salad has been such a welcome change of pace in my kitchen over the past couple weeks. Maybe it will fire up your kitchen too?! It’s quite versatile so feel free to get creative with the toppings, but the Avocado Dressing is non-negotiable! The creamy, delicious green sauce brings it all together…
Easy Calabacitas Soup
This easy Calabacitas Soup is a combo of three of my favorite creations on the site: Souper Broth — a tomato-onion-garlic broth that’s wildly satisfying and acts as the base for Albondigas Soup and Chicken Tortilla Soup. Better Vegetable Stock — a homemade veggie stock that’s easy to make and has a bump in flavor…
Sopes With Refried Beans and Cheese
Sopes in the house! They may sound exotic, but if you’ve ever made corn tortillas at home then you’re just a couple steps away from an authentic batch of Sopes. I topped this batch with refried beans and Queso Fresco, but they are wildly versatile and willing to accommodate your palate. How To Make Sopes…
