Layered Bean DipA real party-pleaser! Versions of this recipe abound but what sets this one apart from most is it is served hot from the oven, and has a layer of ground beef. We always called this Supper Nachos but one recipe makes enough for a party appetizer for about 2 dozen people, so cut it down to size for a family dinner! |

Shrimp In Cilantro SauceServe this lively cilantro-accented shrimp with rice to help quell the heat of the hot peppers. This recipe will make enough sauce for dipping (salsa), over eggs in the morning and dipping veggies. You can easily use thinly sliced chicken in place of the shrimp. |

Tostadas with Shredded Pork and SpicesCrisp fried tortillas topped with re-fried beans and spiced shredded pork make a delectable treat and are often sold from stalls in Mexican City streets. I like to switch between black and pinto re-fried beans for variety. I also found you can easily make this using a crock-pot/slow cooker; see tip below. |

I have since been able to purchase them in the produce sections of chain supermarkets so although it was fun visiting with the vendors it is more convenient to pick them up… |
