Homemade Refried Beans by John Spottiswood

I'm ashamed to say that though I LOVE refried beans, this is the first time I've ever made them myself. It's just so easy to buy them in a can, or at a mexican restaurant, that I haven't bothered. But this recipe is simple and it is definitely worth the effort in my mind. I figure my kids are the true test, since they aren't that…

Tex-Mex Adobo Seasoning by myra byanka

Adobo has an interesting history in different parts of the world. Originally, it was a preservative. Now, it's a dry powder that can be made into a wet rub or marinade, or the name of a dish. This is a version of it to be used on meats, poultry, or other dishes where you want a garlic kick.

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.

Salsa Verde Pork by Nelski

This recipe is mainly from the Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook, but I didn't add the dried apricots or hot pepper sauce. This pork makes delicious pork tacos but I think it would be good eaten with rice and/or beans also.

Chile Rellenos Soufflé by Salad Foodie

If you're craving a chile relleno fix, give this light south-of-the-border layered soufflé a try.

Roasted Tomatillo Salsa by Cindy McNamara

I picked up a bunch of nice looking tomatillos at the local farmers market this week that were crying to be charred on the grill and made into a spicy salsa for me to can. It could be eaten fresh and would last a couple of weeks in the fridge. If you don't want so much heat, simply reduce the jalapeno quantity.
