Recently found your site, tried some of the recipes and they are on point, so thank you.
However being from the UK I don't have easy access to Tomatillos other than canned. What is your experience with the canned stuff?
Patrick
Hey Neil! Yeah you can always used canned tomatillos in a pinch and you'll still get a good result. I typically don't roast canned tomatillos as they've been resting in liquid for so long and it doesn't seem to have the same effect. Cheers.

Thank you for these! I have such a hard time managing pantry items for Mexican dishes, it’s like one meal wipes out our whole weekend grocery! These all look so amazing, I don’t even know where to start! 😍
Patrick
Thanks Mae! Feel free to ask any questions along the way...
Bradley
So much great information on this page it is hard to know where to begin. They all look so delicious.
Patrick
Thanks Bradley! I think the Tinga is a good place to start as you can build so many different dishes from it. Cheers.
Lynn
These look fabulous! Not your concern, but I might on a crazy-restrictive diet. However, many of these can be modified to suit my palate and the diet. The salsas are totally compliant. Yes!
Thank you for taking the time to compile the recipes and necessary ingredients. Mexican food is at the top of my list, but I must add changes. Not to be outsmarted, I am working on these recipes!
Happy New Year! ¡Feliz Año Nuevo y Mil Gracias!
Patrick
Thank Lynn! Yeah that's the awesome thing about most Mexican sauces and Salsas -- they're made from fresh, whole ingredients and they're willing to cater to your diet. I hope you find loads of keepers in this list! Cheers.
janet
this is awesome - thank you! i seriously have to trick my son in law to eat beans, and the enfridolatas seem like a perfect recipe for that. i mean, who doesn't like beans....
Patrick
Ha awesome, hopefully you won't have to trick him anymore! Also worth trying the refried beans on a warm, crispy tortilla and topped with melted cheese to see how he likes it 🙂
