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...

Pork Chili Verde Quesadillas
Making a batch of Chili Verde takes some effort, but it's all worth it when you can use the leftovers to make some delicious on-the-fly meals for the rest of the week. These are the quesadillas I've been eating for the past few days. Don't forget that the green sauce is the key to Chili...
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...
Chile Verde Recipe
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...
Sopa de Fideo (Mexican Noodle Soup)
Sopa de Fideo is a surprisingly common noodle soup that you'll frequently find served up with Comida Corrida down in Mexico. I think it's best served completely unadorned and relying on just a few key ingredients, but if you want to add in some additional veggies it will definitely accommodate you. It's also a great showcase...
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...
Habanero Hot Sauce Recipe
Fireball habanero peppers should come with a warning sign tied around their stems for the uninitiated, and that applies to this Habanero Hot Sauce as well. So consider yourself warned! This is a massively fiery hot sauce and all you need is a drop or two to amp up your favorite dishes, with a special...
Michelada Recipe (Spicy Mexican Beer)
Micheladas are becoming more popular in the States and for good reason -- they are a remarkably satisfying way to light a fire under your weekly routine. I think they're best served with a small dose of masochism, where the only thing that can quench that salty lip-tingling heat is another sip of the very...
Pickled Tomatillos
Pickled tomatillos in the house! It's true, I'm kind of new to these beauties, and I don't have any companion recipes that show off ways to use them (yet), but I've been munching on them all week and they have quickly shot up my list of favorite pickled goods. I'll try them out in a...
