MAIN MEALS:

Let’s start with my take on San Diego’s Famous Carne Asada Burrito. This bad boy is stuffed to the brim with all the good stuff and more. You’re gonna love sinking your teeth into this!

My Meatball Stuffed Mexican Torta Sandwich is piled high with savory meatballs, perfectly balanced enchilada sauce, green Chile crema, and all the frills. Say hola to flavor-town!

Cheesy Beef and Red Sauce Mexican Lasagna is sure to please the entire family. Most of the time I refer to these as “lazy enchiladas”. There’s no stuffing or rolling required, simply layer like a lasagna and pop it in the oven.

Dutch Oven Pozole Verde with Chicken is a vibrant green Mexican soup that’s loaded with fall-apart chicken, simmered veggies and spices. It’s the perfect bowl of comfort for any occasion. If you love this as much as I do, make sure to try my Pozole Rojo next!

Citrus Chicken Tostadas with Avocado Corn Salsa are protein packed and piled up high with flavor. Ready in about 30 minutes, they’re the perfect lunch or dinner.

Queso Stuffed Beef Barbacoa Tacos are stuffed with creamy queso, slow-simmered beef barbacoa, and all the fiesta frills you love. Tucked into a double shelled flour + crunchy corn tortilla, it’s the best of both worlds. Drooling, yet?

Mexican Street Corn Casserole is basically a hybrid between a tamale and chicken pie. It’s a super tasty combination that you’ll want to make over and over again.

This quick, easy, and flavorful Mexican Beef and Zucchini Skillet comes together in less than 30 minutes. It’s ideal for busy weeknights where you need to get dinner on the table, pronto.

Cheesy, savory, and super fulfilling, this One Pan Mexican Rice Casserole with Ground Beef will become a dinner staple at your casa in no time.

DIPS, APPETIZERS, AND SIDES:

When it comes to serving a crowd, this Hatch Chili Mexican Street Corn Dip is the ultimate people pleaser. Cheesy, savory, sweet and spicy. What’s not to love?

You cannot go wrong with the BEST Queso Dip Recipe on Cinco de Mayo (or any day, really). Get your Homemade Tortilla Chips ready and dive right in.

Perfectly ripe avocado, shredded cheese and zesty lemon juice wrapped inside a pillowy flour tortilla. These Avocado Stuffed Mexican Flautas are the BEST. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Loaded with sun-kissed strawberries, sweet mango, and a kick of jalapeño, this Unbelievably Refreshing Strawberry Mango Pico de Gallo will be your go-to appetizer for spring and summer.

A get-together must-have. Shredded Chicken Jalapeno Poppers Dip transforms this handheld version into a scoopable party app.

With a few pantry staples and a baking sheet, this Mexican Pizza goes from oven to table in a matter of minutes. Who needs Taco Bell when you can make this at home instead?

Switch up your usual deviled egg routine with this street corn version that has some fusion fun! These Mexican Street Corn Deviled Eggs with a Korean Twist are savory, sweet, and totally delish.

This tastes like it came straight from the restaurant. Here’s how to make Homemade Spanish Rice in your own kitchen. To be honest, it’s easier than you might think.

SALUD! LET’S HAVE A COCKTAIL:

You can’t talk about Mexican food without Margaritas! Whip up a batch of happiness with this Strawberry Margarita Recipe! Grab your blender and let’s go! Top it off with some fresh mint for even more flavor.

Speaking of margaritas… there’s nothing more refreshing than an Orange Margarita when you’re in the mood for citrus. Bright and bold, this fabulous iced cocktail will keep you cool during the upcoming warmer days of spring and summer.

If you’re into Palomas, don’t miss my newest Spicy Paloma Cocktail Recipe, made with Jalepeno simple syrup. The subtle spice and sweetness makes an awesome combo!
