Lately I’ve been simmering brisket in homemade enchilada sauce to make some big batches of fiery Shredded Beef.

Flour Tortillas Made With Bacon Fat
In addition to queries about Mexican oregano, one of the most common questions I get on the site involves the universally loved bacon: Can I use the leftover bacon drippings to make flour tortillas? Up until last week my response was always a bit cautious, as if those tortillas would be second rate to our…

Chilaquiles with Tomatillo-Chipotle Salsa

Huevos Divorciados
Believe it or not, the ominously named Huevos Divorciados come with the ability to keep the peace at the breakfast table. There won’t be anything to fight over as this dish is traditionally served with two freshly made Salsas. Yes, two!
