San Antone Black Bean Salad by Amos Miller

With friends and family living in the great state of Texas, my frequent visits have always meant new flavor profiles to experience, new ways to express myself in the kitchen and when I am invited out and asked to 'bring something to pass'. I developed the following recipe to assure that I would seldom have to carry home any…

Restaurant style Buffalo wings.

In the Raw…Ceviche! by Justin Thyme

Ceviche (also spelled as cebiche or seviche) is a citrus-marinated seafood, its birthplace is disputed between Peru and Ecuador.[1] Although it is a typical dish of both countries, many other countries in Latin America have adopted it, with variations. Both fish and shellfish can be used in the preparation of ceviche. In Peru, it…

Beef Fajita Best Marinade by Amos Miller

This is fast, simple and super delicious! You should have a very hot (very) cast iron griddle or pan to do this right. I preheat the griddle and simultaneously heat a cast iron serving dish so it goes to table with that distinctive 'sizzle'. Be sure to cut the meat, after it has rested, across the grain and as thin as you can. This…

Texas Caviar (Bean & Corn Salsa or Salad) by Salad Foodie

If I need black-eyed peas for good luck on New Year's day, I prefer to get them in Texas Caviar....a.k.a. Cowboy Caviar.....a.k.a. Southern Caviar...a.k.a. Bean and Corn Salsa. There's as many names for this as there are variations. This makes 8 cups and serves a huge hungry crowd - think Super Bowl Sunday. It also keeps well.…

Guacamole with Green Tomatoes by Salad Foodie

A unique way to use up fall's green tomatoes. Quite tasty. If they're chopped in small dice hardly anyone will guess green tomatoes are an ingredient! Best to make ahead of serving by 30 minutes to allow flavors to "marry." Serve with tortilla chips or other southwest food fare.

ESTESS SOUTH TEXAS RICE ROLL LIKE SUSHI by GARY ESTESS

I LIKE SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH A KICK. SUSHI IS GOOD BUT I LIKE A LITTLE MEXICAN STYLE AND A SMOKER GRILL. GRILING A GOOD T BONE STAKE AND A STARTER TEXAS STYLE SUSHI. SOME PEOPLE THINK SUSHI IS FISH RAPED WITH RICE, BUT WE ARE LOOKING FOR TASTE AND ENJOYMENT AND YOU CAN ADD ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD. IT IS NOT HARD AS IT LOOKS.…

Texas Truck Stop Brisket Enchiladas by myra byanka

Most truck stops in Texas serve enchiladas and chicken-fried steak with cream gravy. The enchiladas usually consist of cheese and onion filled flour torillas, smothered with chili and cheese. This is my take on this wonderful Tex-Mex dish, made with brisket chili, which is delicious just eaten with a spoon and some cornbread. Or…

Pigs In A Poncho by Wendi Taylor

It's like pigs in a blanket - but faster, easier, and lighter. This can also be made by using a whole hot-dog with a full size tortilla for an even quicker treat.
