    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....

    Pasilla Chile Salsa

    February 27, 2019 By Patrick 14 Comments

    This is a great Salsa to get you familiar with the flavor of Pasilla Chiles -- earthy, fruity, with mild heat. But don't confuse them with Anchos! mexicanplease.com

    So what's the easiest way to get your kitchen familiar with some new chiles? Use them to make a simple salsa and not only will you get a snapshot of the chile's flavor profile, but you'll get a lip-smacking Salsa that you can use on tacos, eggs, or even just with some chips. That's what...

    Salsa de Aguacate (Avocado Salsa)

    February 15, 2019 By Patrick 20 Comments

    Avocado Salsa being served at the table.

    This post is for all of you who are diehard fans of that mysterious, creamy green sauce at your local taqueria. It's not guacamole, and it doesn't even seem like Salsa, but it's strangely addictive and it works wonders on tacos, so what is it?! And more importantly, how do I make it?!! How To Make...

    Sopa de Fideo (Mexican Noodle Soup)

    October 24, 2018 By Patrick 14 Comments

    This is a great recipe to keep in mind for some comforting Sopa de Fideo -- a Mexican noodle soup made with a delicious tomato broth. So good! mexicanplease.com

    Sopa de Fideo is a surprisingly common noodle soup that you'll frequently find served up with Comida Corrida down in Mexico. I think it's best served completely unadorned and relying on just a few key ingredients, but if you want to add in some additional veggies it will definitely accommodate you. It's also a great showcase...

    September 20, 2018 By Patrick 20 Comments

    These Pickled Tomatillos will give you a tart burst of acidity and they work wonders on tacos, quesadillas, and even sandwiches. So good! mexicanplease.com

    Pickled tomatillos in the house! It's true, I'm kind of new to these beauties, and I don't have any companion recipes that show off ways to use them (yet), but I've been munching on them all week and they have quickly shot up my list of favorite pickled goods. I'll try them out in a...

    Spicy Roasted Pepitas (Pumpkin Seeds)

    August 22, 2018 By Patrick 2 Comments

    Here's a simple but delicious recipe for a batch of Spicy Roasted Pepitas. mexicanplease.com

    You may not be in the habit of keeping pepitas on hand, but that might change after roasting a batch and spicing them up. The simple act of roasting pumpkin seeds produces most of their flavor potential, so even that alone is worth trying out if you're new to it, but if you spice up the...

    How to Make Refried Beans

    August 9, 2018 By Patrick 40 Comments

    This is a delicious, fiery version of Chicken Tinga. The key is to use both tomatoes and tomatillos, along with plenty of chipotles! mexicanplease.com

    This is probably the easiest way to make a killer batch of refried beans without spending a couple hours cooking the beans. If you want to read about cooking up some beans from scratch see our Frijoles de Olla post. But this version starts with cooked beans -- and you can get away with using a...
