Chili Pie by Reeni

This is a Tex-Mex favorite with a chili 'filling' that gets smothered in cheese then topped with cornbread batter 'crust' and baked in the oven for a cheesy, spicy finish.

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…

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…

Crockpot Carne Adovada Recipe by John Spottiswood

We had this for dinner tonight and it was fantastic. The complexity of flavors - sweet, salty, spicy, and savory - is really amazing. It's better than 99% of the dishes I've ever been served in a mexican restaurant. I loved the carne adovada I had in Santa Fe, but I honestly don't remember any that matched this. If you try this…

Tex-Mex Taco Bake by myra byanka

Easy prep casserole. If you have leftover chili in the fridge, just sub it for the first 5 ingredients.

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.

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.

Easy Chicken Posole by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a super easy and tasty recipe you can whip up in 20 minutes! You can use the meat from a standard rotisserie chicken for this soup. I got mine at Costco. I can buy canned tomatillos in the Mexican section of my local grocery store...but if you don't see them stop by any Mexican mercado. They taste great in soup and are a…

Southwestern Sweet Potato Casserole by John Spottiswood

I adapted this from a Stuffed Acorn Squash recipe that sounded great. My kids aren't big fans of squash...but they do love yams and sweet potatoes. I thought this was wonderful served with warm rice. I sprinkled cayenne on mine to spice it up a bit. It was even better as leftovers the next couple of days. The photo did not come…

Layered Chicken Tortilla Casserole by myra byanka

Great Cinco de Mayo potluck or company dish. Serve with a side of Mexican or Spanish rice.

Pork and Hominy Chili by Nancy Miyasaki

Egg Fusion by erin de martini

Only have one pan? Then this is the recipe for you! It's basically eggs and potatoes all mixed together. You could easily scoop this into a tortilla and make it a breakfast burrito by adding a sprinkle of cheese and sliced avocados.

Pork & Corn Chili by John Spottiswood

Most Southwestern chilis include pinto or black beans. However, this is a true Indian chili with corn instead of beans, and it is a great example of native American cooking. You will love the complex and complementary flavors. We love the healthful aspects of beans, so we've added Garbanzo beans to this recipe. You can feel free…

Leftover Roast Beef Tacos with Homemade Flour Tortillas by myra byanka

Fairly easy prep recipe utilizing leftover beef. The longer you cook the beef, the tougher it will become, so I used rare roast beef and cooked it quickly over a high heat. Prepare the tortillas and condiments first.

Easy Tex-Mex Refried Bean Dip by myra byanka

Inexpensive, easy prep recipe that guests will love. I sometimes use this recipe to make quesadillas, too.
