Salsa de Aguacate (Avocado Salsa)
This post is for all of you who are diehard fans of that mysterious, creamy green sauce at your local taqueria. It's not guacamole, and it doesn't even seem like Salsa, but it's strangely addictive and it works wonders on tacos, so what is it?! And more importantly, how do I make it?!! How To Make...

Mexican Shredded Beef
Lately I've been simmering brisket in homemade enchilada sauce to make some big batches of fiery Shredded Beef. And since you're already an expert at making your own enchilada sauce (right?!!) then you can consider this an easy way to make some ultra-flavorful beef that will work wonders in tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc. How To...
Flour Tortillas Made With Bacon Fat

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...
Huevos Divorciados
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...
