Pickled Everything

April 24, 2019 By Patrick 9 Comments

Here's my recipe for a batch of Pickled Everything -- jalapenos, carrots, onions, and tomatillos. Yes, tomatillos! mexicanplease.com

Bacon Serrano Gorditas

March 27, 2019 By Patrick 8 Comments

Here's an easy recipe for some Bacon Serrano Gorditas. For this batch I mixed the bacon and serrano directly into the masa dough. Yum! mexicanplease.com

It’s true, the term Gordita roughly translates as “little fat one” and they are typically served up as hefty masa cakes that are much thicker than conventional tortillas. But I like them best when they are a bit thinner than the conventional sizing, and this Bacon Serrano Gordita recipe is a good example of that style….
