Serrano Hot Sauce Recipe

December 4, 2020 By Patrick 9 Comments

Here's an easy recipe for a wicked batch of Serrano Hot Sauce! With a half pound of Serranos you'll get two bottles worth of delicious, fiery hot sauce.

This Serrano Hot Sauce is for those of you who need HEAT on standby in the fridge!    Not only do Serranos have more heat than Jalapenos, but I also added a Habanero to this batch and that really amped it up.    You can consider this recipe a good middle ground between the recent Jalapeno…

Chiles Toreados

September 25, 2020 By Patrick 6 Comments

After cooking for about 12 minutes

You’ll frequently see taquerias offering up these Chiles Toreados as a side dish.   If you’re new to them, just imagine charred, blistered jalapenos hanging out with some caramelized onions and you’re right on track.   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

September 18, 2020 By Patrick 8 Comments

If you ever find yourself craving more heat in your Pickled Jalapenos, just add 3-4 Habanero chiles for every pound of Jalapenos. But consider yourself warned as this will add some real zip! mexicanplease.com

A few weeks ago I made a batch of Pickled Jalapenos and my palate was craving more heat from the usual fireballs.  I’m not sure if it was a particularly mild batch of Jalapenos, or if it’s my heat tolerance evolving, but either way I wanted to experiment with amping them up a notch or…

Easy Calabacitas Soup

August 21, 2020 By Patrick 12 Comments

It's easy to turn Calabacitas into a lip-smacking soup! Try to use some stock that you trust as it can make a huge difference -- I used homemade veggie stock for this batch.

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…

Spicy Pickled Radishes

July 10, 2020 By Patrick 4 Comments

I love making a quick batch of these Spicy Pickled Radishes when I have extra radishes laying around. It only takes 5 minutes to put them together and you'll be able to munch on them for weeks!

Got any extra radishes laying around?  You can spend five minutes putting together this recipe and you’ll be able to munch on some Spicy Pickled Radishes for the next few weeks.   Yes, they’ll work great as a final garnish on your favorite tacos, but they are just as good straight from the jar so consider…

Mango Black Bean Salsa

July 3, 2020 By Patrick 2 Comments

This Mango Black Bean Salsa has been a refreshing change of pace for my kitchen lately. I served it on crispy tostada shells along with a dusting of chile powder and it was delicious!

This Mango Black Bean Salsa has been such a welcome change of pace for my kitchen lately!    Sure, you can serve it up next to a bowl of chips, but it works equally well on tacos and salads so feel free to get creative with it.      I’ve been loading it on top…

Masa Harina Cornbread

June 12, 2020 By Patrick 37 Comments

I used Masa Harina instead of cornmeal in this batch of cornbread and it was delicious! I also used chipotles in adobo for some kick 🙂 mexicanplease.com

Question:  since Masa Harina can be used to make awesome homemade corn tortillas, what happens if I use it to replace cornmeal in my go-to cornbread recipe?   I’ve been wondering about this one and I’m glad I finally got around to experimenting with it. To summarize this post….just go for it! How To Make Masa…

Easy Mexican Bean Soup

May 15, 2020 By Patrick 12 Comments

This is a trusty Mexican Bean Soup recipe that you can use with any type of bean -- but please try to make it with some stock that you trust as it makes a huge difference! I used homemade vegetable stock but chicken stock is an equally good choice. mexicanplease.com

This Easy Mexican Bean Soup is proof that some good stock will go a long way in your kitchen!  I used the Better Vegetable Stock from last week, but I’ve also tried it with this homemade chicken stock and it is scrumptious.  As further proof that the stock is the most important ingredient in this…

Yellow Indian Woman Pot Beans

April 17, 2020 By Patrick 16 Comments

I finally got around to making some pot beans from these Yellow Indian Woman beans -- and I'm glad I did!! mexicanplease.com

I’ve been getting emails about these Yellow Indian Woman beans and I finally got around to trying them — and I’m glad I did! I’ve never seen them in my local stores so I bought some from Rancho Gordo: I don’t have any affiliation with Rancho Gordo, but I do buy stuff from them a…

Sometimes the zip from a pickled jalapeno will create the perfectly balanced taco bite. Making a batch of these Taqueria Style Pickled Jalapeno and Carrots is super easy and lets you control how much spice you want in your life. Buen Provecho. mexicanplease.com

March 2020 — I just updated this recipe with a few minor tweaks.  It’s easily one of my favorite recipes on the site, so I also added a video in hopes of proving how easy it is to make these Pickled Jalapenos.  You’ll get a massive upgrade in flavor compared to store-bought versions, so if…
