Simple and delicious Chicken tortilla soup by The Accidental Chef

One of my happy accidents made a great meal tonight. I wanted to make chicken tacos but didn't have the fresh produce I needed. One of the great things about the shorter days of fall is that the early dusk keeps me from going out in the evening. That means I make due with what I have. In any case, this is what we ended up with…

Green Chile Tomatillo Sauce by Bob Vincent

This is a nice all purpose sauce that can be used in numerous dishes. It is good for enchiladas, as a base for Posole or other Mexican/Southwestern dishes. Adding an equal amount of Mexican Crema or sour cream to the cold sauce makes a thick finishing glaze good for plate presentation. I used canned tomatillos as he fresh at my…

Pork and Hominy Stew by Robyn Savoie

This savory combination could be described as a posole -- a thick, hearty Mexican soup traditionally served as a main course at Christmas. Sprinkle shredded radishes over the top for a festive presentation.

Mango Chipotle Sauce/Glaze by Bob Vincent

This is a good sauce/glaze for almost anything. It is easy to make and stores refrigerated well for several days or if air tight much longer. I use it on grilled fish, chicken or pork. It can be used hot as a finishing sauce or cold as a glaze during the last few minutes of grilling. Adjust the chipotle peppers to your taste.

Home made Tortillas by Monocot

Once you try these you will never buy them again. And as you get better you can make a huge batch in about 30 minutes!. My first attempt took me over a hour, I admit.

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…

Shrimp Relleno by Carolinaheartstrings

Shrimp (“camarones” in Spanish) are one of my favorite foods to cook. This easy to make Relleno Sauce complements the shrimp well and goes great with a Lowcountry favorite – rice! The ingredients are items found in most pantries so give this a whirl for a little “South of The Border” flavor.

Mexican Lasagna by Carolinaheartstrings

One of the The Husband’s favorite dishes is lasagna, so this month I decided to make lasagna for him with a Mexican twist. I have to say, it was delicious. This might just become my new favorite! This is a recipe that can easily have ingredients added or taken away depending on what you or your family like. No matter, how you…

Grilled Vegetable Tostadas by Carolinaheartstrings

Mexican food, one of my favorites any day of the week. In fact, I am pretty sure I could eat some type of Mexican food inspired dish every day of the week. I have a long list of family favorites that I make over and over. For my recipe posts this month I wanted to take some of the ones I usually make and put a different spin on…

Baked Chicken Taquitos by Carolinaheartstrings

We love love love Mexican food at our house so when Alessa and I decided to feature Mexican food as our theme this month I knew the family would love it! This particular recipe is so very easy and I tried to “healthy” it up a bit by baking instead of deep frying the taquitos. The result was delicious. You could use beef, pork or…

Mexican Salad by Renee Bryant

This is a refreshing traditional Mexican salad with a dressing of olive oil, lime juice and honey. The nice bite can be toned down to taste by using less jalapeno pepper. My personal preference is to substitute grape tomatoes for the plum tomatoes.

Mexican Chicken Soup by Mellie Duffy

This is a super easy, healthy, & inexpensive soup to make. It can be made spicier by using medium or hot salsa instead of mild salsa; but be sure to get thick & chunky salsa. For the 2 cups of cooked chicken breast, I cut up the breasts (about 2 large size) while they are…
