    Chicken Burritos with Avocado Salsa Verde

    January 9, 2019 By Patrick 11 Comments

    Put some Avocado Salsa Verde in your burritos and everything beyond that is a bonus! I added chicken, Mexican rice, and cheese to this batch -- yum!! mexicanplease.com

    I hope this post will get these Chicken Burritos into your expanding list of No-Thinking-Involved meals. They're perfect for those nights when you're starving and nothing sounds good -- especially anything that involves lots of work in the kitchen. I make them all the time and they rely on one of the most dependable sauces in...

    Easy Pozole Verde

    December 19, 2018 By Patrick 43 Comments

    Here's an easy Pozole Verde recipe that uses roasted poblanos to give the sauce some real flavor -- so good! mexicanplease.com

    In Mexican cuisine there are two versions of Pozole that you'll frequently come across:  Pozole Rojo and Pozole Verde. Pozole Rojo is typically served with pork and relies on a longer simmer in a red sauce made from dried chilis. Pozole Verde uses tomatillos as the base and when loading it up with chicken you...

    Chilaquiles with Black Beans, Avocado and Pickled Jalapenos

    December 12, 2018 By Patrick Leave a Comment

    This recipe is proof that Chilaquiles are wildly versatile. I'm using Black Beans, Avocado and Pickled Jalapenos for this batch -- along with a homemade Tomatillo Chipotle Salsa! mexicanplease.com

    This recipe is evidence that Chilaquiles are best served with a dose of improvisation. What you've got in your kitchen is far more important than what the recipe states, so feel free to listen to your palate when the time comes.   I'm serving this batch with Black Beans, Avocado, Pickled Jalapenos and a sprinkling of...

    Chilaquiles with Tomatillo-Chipotle Salsa

    November 30, 2018 By Patrick 8 Comments

    chilaquiles served with egg on a plate

    Chilaquiles have become more common on brunch menus across the States, but I'm usually disappointed with the restaurant versions.  By the time the Chilaquiles get to the table they've spent way too much time in transit and you end up with a soggy mess. But when they are hot and semi-crispy they are a real...

    Pork Chili Verde Quesadillas

    November 22, 2018 By Patrick 6 Comments

    As promised, here are the quesadillas I've been making with my leftover Chili Verde. I used some homemade pickled onions for this batch and they are delicious! mexicanplease.com

    Making a batch of Chili Verde takes some effort, but it's all worth it when you can use the leftovers to make some delicious on-the-fly meals for the rest of the week.   These are the quesadillas I've been eating for the past few days. Don't forget that the green sauce is the key to Chili...

    Huevos Divorciados

    November 14, 2018 By Patrick 16 Comments

    This classic Mexican breakfast dish is served with two freshly made Salsas -- yes, two! I use a bottom layer of potatoes and chorizo, but corn tortillas are also a good option. mexicanplease.com

    Believe it or not, the ominously named Huevos Divorciados come with the ability to keep the peace at the breakfast table. There won't be anything to fight over as this dish is traditionally served with two freshly made Salsas.  Yes, two! This will accommodate all palates and ensure that everyone leaves the morning summit a...

    Chile Verde Recipe

    November 7, 2018 By Patrick 75 Comments

    This is a great recipe for a comforting batch of Chili Verde. I use the leftovers to make some killer burritos and quesadillas. So good! mexicanplease.com

    Chile Verde is a worthy ambassador for all of Mexican cuisine.  It has a comforting, otherworldly flavor that people respond to with a Yup, there it is  --  as if they are rediscovering a long lost flavor that's been missing for a few generations. While it's traditionally served as a stew, the great thing about...

    Chorizo and Eggs (with Homemade Salsa Verde!)

    October 17, 2018 By Patrick 8 Comments

    I like Chorizo and Eggs best when it's topped with a fiery Salsa Verde. Plus you can use all the leftovers to make breakfast burritos! mexicanplease.com

    For grumpy mornings you can certainly make Chorizo and Eggs with just the two ingredients:  simply cook the chorizo and combine it with some scrambled eggs. But you'll get a massive upgrade in flavor if you top it with a freshly made Salsa Verde.  Tomatillo based salsas work wonders on egg dishes and this combo...

    Pickled Tomatillo and Chorizo Pizza

    October 10, 2018 By Patrick 4 Comments

    This is my new favorite pizza! The pickled tomatillos pair well with the chorizo and we're using a garlic oil layer as the sauce -- so good! mexicanplease.com

    Pickled tomatillos on pizza?  With chorizo?  Sold! Pizza might not be first on your list when coming up with ways to use your magical jar of Pickled Tomatillos, but this is a combo worth trying and it is quickly heading to the top of my list. And don't fret if the thought of making homemade pizza...
