The closer you live to the seaside communities in Baja California, the closer you’ll be to the original incarnation of Baja Fish Tacos: fried fish, sharp cabbage, and some gooey creamy spiciness. The farther away you get the more varied the interpretations will be, but luckily it’s easy to whip up an authentic batch without…
Albondigas (Mexican Meatballs)
Announce to your family that you’ll be serving Albondigas for dinner and you’re guaranteed to get some concerned looks. Albondigas isn’t exactly a common phrase North of the Border, but once you put a plate of these Mexican Meatballs on the table everyone will know exactly what you’re talking about.

Homemade Enchilada Sauce
This is the homemade enchilada sauce I always come back to. Ancho chili peppers give it a rich, complex flavor that works wonders when it’s gooped over some crispy corn tortillas.

World’s Best Chicken Tacos
These Chicken Tacos are not afraid to put themselves in the running for top taco. Of course, it’s worth noting who is making that claim. In this case, it’s someone (uhmmm…me) who has eaten various incarnations of these chicken tacos at least a couple hundred times over the past few years. But it’s not because…
One Pot Mexican Lentils and Rice
This easy Lentils and Rice recipe is my latest attempt to find a dish in the Mexican vegetarian realm that will keep me full for more than an hour. It certainly fits that bill and in addition to tasting muy bueno it also comes with an awesome side benefit — it’s ridiculously cheap to make,…
