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.
