Easy Pozole Verde
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
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
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...

This will accommodate all palates and ensure that everyone leaves the morning summit a...

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!)
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
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...
