	Three Sisters Soup (Beans, Corn and Squash Soup) with Crock Pot Option by Salad Foodie “Three Sisters” refers to the three main crops of Native Americans: beans, corn and squash. The crops are planted close together and in this way benefit from one another.

	Red Chile Gravy by myra byanka Make a mild or medium smooth red sauce for enchiladas, tacos, beans, and tamales. The basic recipe is the same, but the chiles are different. Also included is a recipe for Chile Water, which helps make a freezable chile seasoning to add to sauces, stews, etc., from the peppers left after straining the red chile sauce. Gravy…	1 vote 2 comments 6061 views
	Smoked Brisket Tamales by myra byanka Had some extra brisket, so came up with this recipe, which is good for brisket fans or for people who don't like spicy Mexican food, but might like tamales. I use a smoke/bake method of doing brisket. It always comes out perfect. When I have smoked the brisket for 5 hours or so, I finish it in the oven @ 250 for 5-8 hours. I find…	1 vote 1 comment 12462 views
	Dad’s Tavern Chili by Salad Foodie As an adolescent I was commissioned by my dad to make a huge pot of chili for his tavern weekly, and I earned fifty cents a batch doing so! (This was before the era of food safety regulation and inspection - I just made it in our home kitchen!) Dad had taught me how to make his chili, and everyone agreed it was in a class of its…	4 votes 2 reviews 4 comments 21691 views
	San Antone Black Bean Salad by Amos Miller With friends and family living in the great state of Texas, my frequent visits have always meant new flavor profiles to experience, new ways to express myself in the kitchen and when I am invited out and asked to 'bring something to pass'. I developed the following recipe to assure that I would seldom have to carry home any…	9 votes 5 reviews 9 comments 20726 views
	Blue Cornmeal Cornbread by Salad Foodie Blue cornmeal imparts a blue-violet cast to the bread, a coarser consistency and a sweeter, nuttier taste than yellow or white cornmeal. It is 20% higher in protein and has a lower glycemic index, good news for those with elevated blood sugar. However it can be difficult to find! Arrowhead and Bob's Red Mill make it and some health…	2 votes 1 review 13081 views

	Garlic Sourdough Rolls by myra byanka Light, tasty rolls with a crunchy exterior, made from scratch. Make them for sandwiches, burger or hot dog buns, or dinner rolls. Requires sourdough starter. The dough should be wet and tacky, and don't be tempted to add too much flour. Will freeze.	2 votes 1 review 6180 views
	Ojo de Cabra Estofado (Eye of the Goat Bean Stew) by Ken Hulme Here's my take on a traditional Mexican stew, using Ojo de Capra (Eye of the Goat) heirloom beans. This is a stew; it has beans in it. Chile does not contain beans.	5 votes 3 reviews 3 comments 16947 views
	Sunday Supper Tamale Pie by myra byanka One dish supper for Tex-Mex lovers. A CES poster made this with Jiffy, and said it was too sweet. I agree, so if you use Jiffy, mix it up, taste a bit, and add Tabasco or pepper to taste. This balances the sweetness, but does not add more salt.	3 votes 2 reviews 7283 views
	Shrimp Enchiladas with Cheesy Sour Cream Sauce by myra byanka Tex-Mex for shrimp lovers. This sauce will also work with scallops, chicken, turkey, or cheese enchiladas.	1 vote 7201 views
	Texas Caviar (Bean & Corn Salsa or Salad) by Salad Foodie If I need black-eyed peas for good luck on New Year's day, I prefer to get them in Texas Caviar....a.k.a. Cowboy Caviar.....a.k.a. Southern Caviar...a.k.a. Bean and Corn Salsa. There's as many names for this as there are variations. This makes 8 cups and serves a huge hungry crowd - think Super Bowl Sunday. It also keeps well.…	2 votes 1 review 22342 views

	Ninfa's Green Sauce by myra byanka Ninfa, one of the pioneers in Tex-Mex cooking, used to serve this green sauce in her restaurants. Since she's passed, the Ninfa's near me has stopped adding avocados, no doubt due to the expense, which is not worth eating. So, I make my own. The hardest ingredient to find may be green tomatoes. Plan on making this salsa for 6 or…	7 votes 2 reviews 3 comments 10474 views
	Tex Mex Guacamole with Serrano & Jalapeno Peppers by Wendi Taylor A delicious treat that can be served as a topping for tacos or taco salad, a dip for corn chips, a spread for tortillas or pita bread, or on a bed of shredded lettuce as a salad in itself.	2 votes 1 review 6506 views
