Arroz A La Mexicana by Brett Ede

Mexican Rice Pilaf by myra byanka

Generally, Mexican cooks make this rice with fresh tomatoes, but ever the corner-cutter, I use petite diced, drained.

Taco Sauce #2 by myra byanka

This is inexpensive to make, stays in the fridge for weeks, and is a nice, basic sauce to drizzle on tacos or over tortilla dishes for decoration, i.e., it is not a cooking sauce. It's very mild, so kids might like it.
