Cowboy Caviar by Lynn YamamotoThis is fresh, healthy and delicious. People love it, even kids. You can make it ahead, so it's great for a summer party. Serve it with scoop-shaped tortilla chips, or have it on the side as a relish. I add extra cilantro, because there can never be too much cilantro! |

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. |

Taco Sauce #2 by myra byankaThis 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. |

Homemade Flavored Flour Tortillas by myra byankaFlour tortillas are popular in northern Mexico, whereas corn is favored in the central and southern regions. It is just a matter of what grows where.
