    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....

    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

    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...
