    Pickled Everything

    April 24, 2019 By Patrick 9 Comments

    Here's my recipe for a batch of Pickled Everything -- jalapenos, carrots, onions, and tomatillos. Yes, tomatillos! mexicanplease.com

    Last week I got a kitchen penalty for not having freshly pickled goods in the fridge.  Minus ten points!

So this quart-sized jar is loaded with Jalapenos, Carrots, Onions, and Tomatillos --...

    Avocado Salsa being served at the table.

    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...

    Flour Tortillas Made With Bacon Fat

    January 16, 2019 By Patrick 56 Comments

    Flour tortilla after cooking for 2 minutes.

    In addition to queries about Mexican oregano, one of the most common questions I get on the site involves the universally loved bacon: Can I use the leftover bacon drippings to make flour tortillas?   Up until last week my response was always a bit cautious, as if those tortillas would be second rate to our...
