Crock Pot Chile Verde by Nancy MiyasakiThis is a super easy and delicious Chile Verde. We make a great Chile Verde from scratch with fresh tomatillos, but it's a lot of work.

Homemade Refried Beans by John SpottiswoodI'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… |

Fish Tacos with Lime-cilantro salsa by Nancy MiyasakiCumin, coriander, and paprika give these fish tacos a wonderfully warm flavor. The tangy sour cream, lime and cilantro sauce contrasts perfectly. Try shrimp for the snapper or romaine in place of cabbage to change it up if you like. |

Tequila-Flamed Mangoes Over Vanilla Ice Cream by Marisa MustoBefore the mangoes are flamed they are baked with brown sugar. This process makes them sweet and syrupy. Over vanilla ice cream, this dessert is kind of like bananas foster with mangoes. From the Rick Bayless book, "Mexico One Plate at a Time." |

Slow cooker pork stew - chile verde by Nancy MiyasakiThis is an easy and tasty version of chile verde that I adapted from a slow cooker cookbook. This keeps very well for 3-4 days, and honestly tastes as good if not better reheated. You can also serve it inside tortillas as a taco or burrito for a second meal. Enjoy! |

Mango Chipotle Sauce/Glaze by Bob VincentThis 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. |
