This Serrano Hot Sauce is for those of you who need HEAT on standby in the fridge! Not only do Serranos have more heat than Jalapenos, but I also added a Habanero to this batch and that really amped it up. You can consider this recipe a good middle ground between the recent Jalapeno…

Testing Chile Combos for Mole Sauces
I’m back on the Mole Train this week and testing out some dried chile combos. Ingredient lists for Moh-lay recipes can be intimidating, and these simple tests can give a good sense of a sauce’s foundation before doing any fine tuning. I was thrilled to add Mulato chiles to these experiments, so keep an eye…

Homemade Tortillas continue to be in demand during these crazy times, so lately I’ve been getting this question more frequently: I have popcorn kernels at home can I use them to make tortillas? I’ve never had a great answer for this question, but I do now as I was quite surprised how good tortillas can…
Chiles Toreados
You’ll frequently see taquerias offering up these Chiles Toreados as a side dish. If you’re new to them, just imagine charred, blistered jalapenos hanging out with some caramelized onions and you’re right on track. Spicing up your meal is their most common role, but they are super tasty right out of the pan so I’ll sometimes…
Extra Hot Pickled Jalapenos
A few weeks ago I made a batch of Pickled Jalapenos and my palate was craving more heat from the usual fireballs. I’m not sure if it was a particularly mild batch of Jalapenos, or if it’s my heat tolerance evolving, but either way I wanted to experiment with amping them up a notch or…

Better Vegetable Stock — a homemade veggie stock that’s easy to make and has a bump in flavor…
Sopes With Refried Beans and Cheese
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…
