Quick & Easy Guacamole
My Quick & Easy Guacamole is so full of authentic Mexican flavor! This versatile guacamole recipe can easily be made very mild or extra spicy. Made with avocados, spicy pico de gallo, a touch of seasoning, and fresh lime juice, this 4 ingredient recipe is just as delicious as traditional guacamole. The beauty of this appetizer recipe is that it comes together in minutes, and there is virtually no chopping. It has such an amazing taste, that no one will know you didn’t make it the traditional way!
Chile Relleno Casserole
This amazing Chile Relleno Casserole is mildly spicy, and has so much flavor! Layers of roasted poblano peppers, eggs, spices, roasted salsa, green chiles, and 5 different cheeses, are baked to fluffy and cheesy perfection. With more flavor than restaurant-style chile rellenos, this Mexican casserole recipe is one you will want to save and make again and again! This delicious casserole is keto, and has lots of recipe variations, including vegetarian, gluten-free, quick & easy, very mild, medium spicy, or extra spicy, depending on your preference. A must try recipe!
Quick Calabacitas Con Queso
Quick Calabacitas Con Queso is a quick and easy variation of an authentic Mexican side dish recipe. Zucchini squash is sautéed with garlic and spices, then simmered with tomatoes and diced chiles, and topped with jalapeno jack cheese. This cheesy & spicy side dish can be made mild or spicy (or vegan) according to your preference. My 5 ingredient recipe is keto friendly, quick to make, and can be served as a side dish or vegetarian main dish.
Easy Chilaquiles Verdes
My Easy Chilaquiles Verdes recipe brings you traditional Mexican comfort food made easy. A few simple ingredients turn into a zesty breakfast that is so satisfying and flavorful. Corn tortillas are lightly fried, then added to scrambled eggs, salsa verde, and pepper jack cheese to make up this quick and easy casserole-like dish that is made directly on your stovetop. Garnish this quick and easy breakfast dish with more salsa, avocado, cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, and our version of healthy Mexican crema to create a delicious and hearty breakfast dish just like Abuelita (Grandma) used to make! It also happens to be vegetarian and gluten free!
