Pozole

Don't be intimidated by the time commitment for this flavorful Mexican soup. Simply bring water to a boil and let it simmer while you multitask. Over time, the meat becomes tender and buttery, the aromas deepen, and the color turns rich and inviting.

Mexican Rice

This Mexican rice recipe is bursting with flavor and might be even better than what you'd get at a Tex-Mex restaurant. Pair it with chicken enchiladas or tamale pie for a perfect meal. Enjoy your night!

Chicken Taco Torta

3

Made with crusty-chewy bolillos or teleras, these sandwiches are filled with meats, cheeses, refried beans, avocado, and pickled jalapeños. Inspired by the American chicken taco, this version includes shredded cheese, taco seasoning, and crunchy tortilla chips. It's a delicious twist on a classic torta.

Elote: Mexican Street Corn

Elote, a hugely popular street food in Mexico, is often served on a stick but can be made just like regular corn on the cob. You can boil or oven bake it for the same delicious result. It's a must-try antojito!

Grilled Chicken Street Tacos

Nothing beats a street taco—tender grilled meat in a grab-and-go format with two small corn tortillas. They're easy to eat anywhere, from the side of the street to your car. Simple yet incredibly crave-worthy!

Mexican Chicken Casserole

This dish, filled with creamy sauce, two kinds of cheese, and plenty of chicken, has something for everyone. It might not be super-authentic, but it combines flavors that remind you of tacos, enchiladas, and your favorite Mexican/Tex-Mex meals.

Chalupas

7

Chalupas are a classic Mexican street food—crispy, savory, and fun to eat. Typically served like a tostada, we made a version with a fluffy, fry bread-like taco shell for the best of both worlds.

When you're craving comforting yet easy weeknight dinner, chicken enchiladas hit the spot. They're quick, hearty, and ready in under an hour—perfect for satisfying those cravings fast.

Whether you're dipping, topping tacos, or slathering it on burgers, everyone loves Mexico's iconic dip. Keep it classic or get creative with your add-ins, but make plenty—it disappears quickly!
