Garlic-Butter Octopus Jalisco-style by John Spottiswood

This dish is my best rendition of a traditional meal served in the state of Jalisco in Mexico. We had this first in a small local restaurant in downtown Puerto Vallarta, and have been in love with it since!

Tacos Al Carbon by John Spottiswood

This is a simple steak taco recipe that emphasizes the flavor of the meat and the grill. You can spice it up by adding extra cumin or a little chili powder, jalapeno, or cayenne if you like, but it is delicious as is. Make sure to chop any additional fixings you like: I used cilantro, avocado and tomato...but they are quite tasty…

Grilled Whole Fish Adobado

Grilled Whole Fish Adobado by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious fish that is one of the most famous dishes of the Jalisco state in Mexico. We've eaten this a few times in restaurants near Puerto Vallarta...and love it! The recipe is adapted from one by Rick Bayless (exec. chef of the Frontera Grill in Chicago), who is one of my favorite chefs.

Grilled Fish Tacos

Grilled Fish Tacos by Salad Foodie

Tangy avocado salsa and grilled fish in a warm tortilla make for a much healthier fish taco than the usual restaurant variety. This recipe is based on one from Bill Phillips Eating for Life, though I had to sub a few ingredients due to what I had on hand. Too cold to grill outdoors, I used the counter top grill. No swordfish or tuna,…

Grilled Pork Tenderloin Wtih Green Chile Tomatillo Sauce

Grilled Pork Tenderloin Wtih Green Chile Tomatillo Sauce by Bob Vincent

This is a tasty grilled pork dish. Different cuts of pork will work but we like the tenderloin best as it is lean and tender when grilled. I served the pork with annatto rice, green beans, flautas and guacamole. For a wine we had a 2008 Fenestra Lodi Silvaspoons Vineyards Alvarelhao. This grape is traditionally grown in…

El Burrito del Diablo

El Burrito del Diablo by Patti Fisher

El Burrito del Diablo or The devil’s Burrito. We love fiery beef burritos, so we thought we would smoke up a pot of La carne del Diablo or The Devil’s Beef on the gasser. A 4-pound chuck roast, 5 different Chile peppers, onions and garlic for a 5 hour cook. All with a “Kiss of Smoke” from a wedgie loaded with GMG’s Texas Blend…

Chili Lime Skirt Steak Fajitas

Chili Lime Skirt Steak Fajitas by Robyn Medlin

Skirt Steak Fajitas are one of my favorite things to make. I lived in San Antonio when I was younger and got spoiled with good Tex Mex at a young age. While many people will make their fajitas with flank steak, Texans know that a fajita is only a fajita when made with skirt steak. In fact, the word “fajita” is a derivation of the…

Veggie Lovin' Fajitas

Veggie Lovin' Fajitas by Jennifer Jevons

Grilling in the summer usually means burgers, hot dogs, steaks and ribs, but what if you have to cater to vegetarians during your next summer BBQ? Instead of dividing the grill into sections for the meat eaters and non, try cooking dishes that are sure to please everyone. These vegetarian grilling dishes are bold in flavor, but not in…
