Butternut Squash, Kale, and Bacon tacos

It was Tuesday. You know what that means…. TACOS! But after a long stretch of eating old school crunchy tacos, I needed something different.

Mains

Pork Chili Verde

Comfort often comes at a price. Tons of ingredients. An arduous journey through prep. Long, slow cooks. Many ways to mess up.

Mains

Steak Fajita

Forget Taco Tuesday. Fajita up your life with chili lime marinated steak and sultry caramelized veggies.

Mains

Carnitas

Remember that ice cream bar that asked you, what would you doooo for a … Screw that – i’d do anything for great carnitas.

Mains

Steak Un-Taco

Someone doesn’t want carbs. You know that someone. But you want a taco. Or something with steak that has a mexican flair.

Components

Red Chile Sauce

This versatile sauce is a great foundation for mexican and tex-mex dishes. I use it for as a sauce for meats, in enchiladas, and in not texas chili.

Sides

Guacamole

Guacamole is a concert of fat (avocado), acid (lime), and salt (kosher). Get those three things in balance, and you have perfection. Don’t and gloppy green goop. Overall, keep it simple.

Breakfast

Huevos Rancheros

Spicy Breakfast!

Mains

Red Chile Chicken Enchiladas

A slightly fancy version of the ‘red’ enchiladas down at your local mexican slop shop. Make these and you won’t be going back there any time soon (or until you feel lazy.

Snacks

Sopes

Sopes are a great snack! This is a shell which can hold lots of stuff. Carnitas, goat cheese and arugula, chicken and tomatillo salsa….

Fish Tacos

Welcome to so-cal living.

Sides

Mexican Rice

Sometimes beans and rice can be nice

Tortilla Soup w/ Chicken (or not)

Love me some tortilla soup. Add chicken and you have dinner.

Mains

Chicken and Mushroom Quesadillas

Americanized Mexican at it’s finest.

Salad

Avocado Dressing

A quasi-southwestern dressing. Good for a simple salad (think romaine, pepitas, tomato). And to dip stuff in.

Mains

Chili Lime Steak Tacos

Cheater marinade – delicious tacos. I like my tacos to be bundles of delicious meats with little distraction. You may feel differently and if you do, then add more stuff.

Salad

Southwestern Flank Steak Salad

Look ma! I’m eating salad!

Mains

Chorizo and Shrimp Stuffed Poblano

Poblanos might be my favorite chile. Mysterious yet fruity with a quick hit of heat that doesn’t last too long or get too intense.

Mains

Seabass with Poblano Crema

Kick some ass seabass!
