Favorite Mexican Recipes
I'm making a huge Mexican feast on Thursday and would love if you could link me up to your favorite recipes, Pin boards, etc. I have access to wonderful Mexican grocery stores, so more authentic ingredients are easy to come by.
Thanks! |

My "go-to" is a layered enchilada casserole. I like to layer corn tortillas, green enchilada sauce, cheese, olives and chicken (I generally buy a rotisserie and shred the chicken) into a few layers....bake for about 20-25 minutes. Voila!

I make a ton of black bean and corn salsa...it's one of my go-tos.
1 can of black beans, drained & rinsed 1 can corn or frozen corn 1 can rotel or a can of diced tomatoes with the "authentic salsa taste" (or whatever it says) 1 bell pepper diced (whatever color you choose) 1 onion diced cilantro (a few tablespoons) Lime squeezed Mix everything together except the lime juice, you put that on last.

What time should I be over for dinner???
I do crock pot mexican - LOL. Pork for tacos - Throw in the crock pot -Boneless pork loin roast, covered with a can of rotel, 2 tsp cumin, 2 cloves diced garlic, 3 tbsp lime juice, 1 small can tomato sauce, 2 tsp chili powder, liberal salt and pepper. Cook for 6-8 hours on low. Then I shred the pork and serve. If you want carnitas I drain from liquid and brown in pan with some butter in the bottom and finish with a squirt of lime juice. In fact, we're having this for dinner tonight since no one in the house eats at the same time anymore. ETA - that mexican bake Stacy brought to scrap day was really good. Maybe she can give you her recipe.

I made this stuff a few weeks ago and it was sooooo good! I think it should really be called more like Tex-Mex chicken casserole.

This is the recipe I make for homemade guacamole. It is the BOMB. The fresh cilantro and lime make it so yummy. I usually double the recipe when we have guests. It goes fast.

I also make a taco dip that we love. It's also a crowd pleaser and super simple to make. It's kind of like this recipe, but I add a bottom layer of canned refried beans. And, for toppings I skip the lettuce and add fresh chopped cilantro and green onions. Then I top the greens with diced tomato, black olives, and shredded cheese.

I generally just make up my own marinades for fajitas and tacos and such, but I do have great recipes for sides: This recipe for Mexican rice is AWESOME! I use canned tomatoes instead of fresh ones. Rinsing the rice is really important so you don't end up with sticky rice.
I love these black beans. I use fresh chopped cilantro (mixed in at the end with the lime juice) instead of coriander. We have some amazing fresh tortillas and chips made in our town, so I pick those up and make sure to make fresh salsa and guac!

Here's a dip that is always a hit. It's very rich and filling. I serve it with tortilla chips. I don't always put in the cream cheese and it's good either way.
