    Easy Calabacitas Soup

    August 21, 2020 By Patrick 14 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...

    July 10, 2020 By Patrick 6 Comments

    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 4 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 79 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 18 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...

    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...

    Spicy Chickpea Tostadas

    February 14, 2020 By Patrick 10 Comments

    I've been munching on these Chickpea Tostadas all week! Adding some chipotle gives them great flavor and you don't need much beyond that. mexicanplease.com

    It's true, this is a personal concoction that you might not find in the heart of Mexico, but don't let that stop you from making it!   Taking a cue from these refried beans, we'll be using some chipotles in adobo to whip up a wildly versatile chickpea puree -- it's a great alternative source of protein...

    January 24, 2020 By Patrick 10 Comments

    Here's an easy recipe that will bring some variety to your rice routine. Adding tomatillos gives you a vibrant, delicious batch of Mexican Rice. mexicanplease.com

    This Mexican Rice 2.0 came about in response to a simple question that has probably been keeping many of you up at night... What happens if you add tomatillos to Mexican Rice?   Like most tomato dishes that ask tomatillos to join the party (see this Tinga and this combo Salsa) you'll get a completely unique...

    Warning: these sweet and spicy Candied Jalapenos are super addictive! mexicanplease.com

    Finally some Candied Jalapenos!  I've been getting emails about these for years and over the past few weeks I've been fiddling with a recipe for them.     They are sweet, fiery delights that also happen to be highly addictive, so consider yourself warned!!  You'll also sometimes see these referred to as Cowboy Candy, and that...
