I know I promised these wouldn't be boring, regular nachos, but before things get too crazy, I decided to make my version of classic nachos. According to the food dictionary on Epicurious, a nacho is a chip topped with melted cheddar cheese and chopped chilis. These nachos are topped with cheese, chilis, and refried beans.
To give the nachos a more gourmet feel, I fried tortillas to make fresh chips. These were incredibly tasty and easy to make. ...

Sugar skulls are given to children and edible marigolds are ...
I recently featured a recipe for a quick and easy Mexican style white bean soup. However, the ultimate Mexican soup is a dish made with hominy rather than beans and typically includes pork, dried chilies, and cilantro. A variety of toppings are served on the side, and diners can choose if they want to add fresh radishes, onions, cheese, lettuce, etc. to the soup. Do you know what this authentic dish from Jalisco is called?

In my opinion, the best part of a travel party is transforming each room to resemble a different country. With a little imagination, it's easy to come up with festive and fun decor.
Grilled quesadillas are wonderful for an impromptu dinner party. I like to invite friends over on a weeknight, set out a whole bunch of toppings, and let guests assemble their own quesadillas. Next, I throw the personalized quesadillas on the grill and heat them up, slice into wedges and enjoy! To avoid having to rip the tops off of the quesadillas to see whose quesadillas is whose, have your friends carve their first initial into a tortilla (like the ...
Habanero
A type of very hot chile with a distinct flavor. The small, lantern shaped chile is native to the Yucatan region of Mexico, the Caribbean, and the north coast of South America. With a delicate looking green, yellow, to orange color (in terms of ripeness) these chilies make excellent fresh salsa and sauces. Known for its intense spiciness - it's thought to be the hottest of all the chile peppers - the habanero can be found both fresh and ...
A little while back, I told you about the site Burrito Eater that reviews burritos and measures them in mustaches. Well, what if I told you he had a Los Angeles based counterpart who is on the hunt for the perfect taco and measures his findings in "bells" - get it?? - The Great Taco Hunt

These shrimp quesadillas have a Greek twist: hummus, artichoke hearts, and feta cheese filling. Add tortillas to your pantry staples list and when you need dinner in a hurry fill with whatever you have ...
This super fresh and deliciously fragrant salad is a wonderful side dish to quesadillas, enchiladas, or carnitas. A tex mex delight, this recipe can be made with frozen corn or later in the summer with corn cut right off the cob. Bring to a potluck or picnic and make it a day in advance, so the flavors have time to meld together. I love this salad because it's super quick and involves minimal chopping- making it the ideal side ...
Cinco de Mayo is two short days away and I still have tons to do before I host the Kappa Kup barbeque for my sister, Trish, in San Diego. Sure the invitations have been sent, the menu has been set, and the drinks approved by the sorority sisters, but what about purchasing the groceries and transforming a soccer field into a party space?? Or not to mention manning the grill from 10 am to 6 ...
No detail shall be overlooked as I prepare and plan a barbeque for 300 to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. The flyers vibrantly let the guests know it's a Mexican themed event that celebrates a good cause, The San Diego Center for Children & The Rose McGill Fund. As always, I want this party to be spectacular, memorable, and show stopping. The pressure is on because I have to create exactly what my sister envisions and ...
