Taco Dip by Jennifer Jevons

Salsa by Cheryl Norman

Salsa is easy to make fresh and tastes better than the jarred varieties. Saves a buck, too! I make mine in the Vita-mix, but most food processors or blenders will work. Just don't overprocess.

Served here with pork chops, this salsa can be served over some pork tenderloin, chicken, fish or just with some tortilla chips. The poblano-cilantro rice as the side dish will make you very happy indeed and you'll never want to make that red gloppy…

CrockPot Pork Green Chili Stew by Dinell Holmes

Okay, I know this isn’t a TRADITIONAL Green Chili, but I had to make something my toddler might eat. You can certainly heat it up with fresh jalapenos or anything else you might like. I just took a few different recipes and messed around with them until I came up with this. Hope you enjoy!

Steak Tacos by Kathleen

This is a family favorite. The original recipe came from Bon Appetit but has evolved over the years to suit our taste. It is a great week night meal because it doesn't require any marinading time and once you have the steak sliced it cooks fairly quickly. I serve these tacos with all the usually things like shredded cheese, sour…

Peanut Butter Banana Tortilla Snack by Spicie Foodie

Peanut Butter Banana Tortilla Snack or roll-ups, wow that's a name. Well I don't actually know what to call these yummy snacks, so that will have to do.

Yummy tacos in spicy green chili sauce! A couple of days ago I posted a recipe for my green chili salsa, well I had a lot left over and rather than trowing a perfectly good sauce away I looked in refrigerator to see what or how to use it up, other than with chips. Pork , tortillas, cilantro and onions ....Taco night!

Green salsa made with green banana peppers by Spicie Foodie

Spicy green salsa made with green banana peppers. Green salsas or Salsa verde are made using Tomatillos ( a small green tomato that's wrapped in a husk) , fresh green chili (either fresh Jalapenos or Seranos), cilantro, onion. This salsa is a substitute for the traditional salsa verde, because I have never seen tomatillos here and…

Fire Roasted Tomato & Jalapeño Salsa by Marlin Rinehart

This authentic Mexican salsa is by far my favorite. The tomatoes, preferably Romas, are roasted under the broiler until the skins are partially charred with black spots. The intense heat internally caramelizes some of the natural fruit sugar. The garlic and jalapeño are also roasted. Roasting gives the salsa character and depth of…
