Spicy Chicken Salad

October 23, 2020 By Patrick Leave a Comment

Here are two great options for some home-cooked Mexican Chicken Salads! The first is a traditional Chicken Taco Salad, and the second relies on some Spicy Cabbage Slaw.

Make a big batch of Spicy Shredded Chicken and you can easily whip up either of the salads in this post! I’ve been making both of these keepers over the last couple weeks and it’s been a welcome change of pace in the kitchen.  How To Make Spicy Chicken  Of course, all of this relies…

Dried chiles for Mole sauces

The time has finally come to add Mole sauces to the site!  I’ve had moderate success with Mole sauces in the past, but I always wanted to refine them a little more before sharing.  Well…hello refining!

Spicy Beef Taquitos — Freezer Friendly!

September 11, 2020 By Patrick 14 Comments

It's such a treat to remember you've got some of these Spicy Beef Taquitos in the fridge/freezer for a quick meal! I dipped this batch in some Salsa de Aguacate and they were delicious! mexicanplease.com

I’m leaning on the freezer more than usual lately, and these Spicy Beef Taquitos are my latest addition.   You’ll get 24 scrumptious taquitos from this recipe — which means you’ve got plenty of free meals coming your way over the next couple weeks!

Eggs Poached in Chipotle Salsa

These Eggs Poached in Chipotle Salsa are the perfect example of some last-minute improvisation.  In other words… Getting hangry…need food NOW…what’s in the fridge?!

Easy Calabacitas Soup

August 21, 2020 By Patrick 12 Comments

It's easy to turn Calabacitas into a lip-smacking soup! Try to use some stock that you trust as it can make a huge difference -- I used homemade veggie stock for this batch.

This easy Calabacitas Soup is a combo of three of my favorite creations on the site: Souper Broth — a tomato-onion-garlic broth that’s wildly satisfying and acts as the base for Albondigas Soup and Chicken Tortilla Soup. Better Vegetable Stock — a homemade veggie stock that’s easy to make and has a bump in flavor…

Sopes topped with pickled jalapenos, Queso Fresco, and refried beans.

Sopes in the house! They may sound exotic, but if you’ve ever made corn tortillas at home then you’re just a couple steps away from an authentic batch of Sopes.  I topped this batch with refried beans and Queso Fresco, but they are wildly versatile and willing to accommodate your palate.  How To Make Sopes…
