Grilled Shrimp TacosI cannot get enough of them. I love everything about this dish. Depending on how spicy you like your shrimp you can grill them with no spice, a little spice or lots of spice. I like mine grilled with just a dusting of chili powder. Use your favorite kind of shell, corn or flour, crispy or not and pile the shrimp high with my pico… |

Mexican Vegetable MedleyTwo of the vegetables that were new to me when I visited the Mexican produce vendors at the flea market last month were the chayote squash and the tomatillo. 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… |

Shrimp RellenoShrimp (“camarones” in Spanish) are one of my favorite foods to cook. This easy to make Relleno Sauce complements the shrimp well and goes great with a Lowcountry favorite – rice! The ingredients are items found in most pantries so give this a whirl for a little “South of The Border” flavor. |

Mexican Chicken Corn ChowderWe never wait for fall for this favorite of all chowders, but enjoy it year round. A good way to use up leftover roast chicken, and the ingredients go together quickly for a fast weeknight dinner. Can be lightened by subbing fat-free half and half, or a 12 ounce can evaporated milk for the cream. |

Corn tortillas are rarely used in Tex-Mex enchilada dishes, because unless homemade, they tend to break apart when trying to roll them up. I use them to make stacked enchiladas, which… |
