Eggs Poached in Chipotle Salsa

September 4, 2020 By Patrick 4 Comments

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?! I’m constantly tweaking the serving style of these eggs, but the main attraction — poached eggs served up in a delicious Salsa broth — is a verified home run and it’s…

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…

Beef Birria tacos

After weeks of making vegetarian dishes I started to crave this rich, succulent Birria de Res for some reason 🙂     And while Birria is traditionally made with goat in Mexico, I get way more mileage from a batch of Beef Birria so I used beef brisket for this batch.  This 3 lb. recipe will…

Easy Mexican Bean Soup

May 15, 2020 By Patrick 12 Comments

This is a trusty Mexican Bean Soup recipe that you can use with any type of bean -- but please try to make it with some stock that you trust as it makes a huge difference! I used homemade vegetable stock but chicken stock is an equally good choice. mexicanplease.com

This Easy Mexican Bean Soup is proof that some good stock will go a long way in your kitchen!  I used the Better Vegetable Stock from last week, but I’ve also tried it with this homemade chicken stock and it is scrumptious.  As further proof that the stock is the most important ingredient in this…
