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 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,…

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…

Grilled Shrimp Tacos by Carolinaheartstrings

I 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…
