Last week when I shared my recipe for Slow Cooker Pulled Pork, I mentioned that I had a couple of recipes up my sleeve to utilize the scrumptious, tender meat. I shared that it is good in sandwiches, salads, omelets and tacos. But my oh my is it ever good in enchiladas. Especially when you [...]

Do you ever buy one of those big packets of chicken because it’s on sale thinking to yourself that you will use some but put the rest in the freezer for later use? It appears that I do. While I was cleaning out the freezer the other day I found that I had quite a [...]

Who doesn’t love tacos? To me they just scream summer time. Perhaps it is all of the bright flavors or the fact that they go so well with a cold bottle of Corona. Either way, these shrimp tacos are definitely the perfect summer time supper.

Okay let me give you a little warning about this salsa: It is not for the faint of heart. Its spicy. Make your eyes water spicy. With that said, it’s not all about the heat, this salsa has a wonderful flavor.  Despite the fact that my mouth feels like its on fire, I often find [...]

This recipe came about because of a little miscommunication in my house. You see, the other day I asked Ryan what he would like me to serve with the taquitos I was making for dinner. I heard Bean and Cheese Dip. I was a little surprised because in ten years he has never really mentioned [...]

Ryan is a huge Mexican food fan. So when I gave him a list of things I was thinking of making for dinner last week, I was not surprised that his first response was “oh the Mexican dish!” I have to admit I was not a huge Mexican food fan growing up, but have recently [...]

I don’t know about you, but when I go out to Mexican restaurants the basket of chips at the beginning is my favorite. I like the ones that are hot like they just got out of the fryer and are slightly salty. If it was possible, I would just go in and eat those, but [...]

Ryan has been requesting tacos lately and I had some left over oven roasted chicken so I decided to make some chicken tacos. I simmered the chicken in a Mexican style tomato sauce with sauteed onions and jalapenos and spooned the mixture into freshly cooked corn tortillas.  I also thought it would be a nice [...]
