Enchiladas Bandera! Vegetarian Enchiladas
This year, for Cinco de Mayo, I finally managed to get it together enough to plan (a whole 48 hours in advance) with our friend Carlos to share his mom’s avocado enchiladas recipe — aka Enchiladas Banderas. We’ve been talking about doing this recipe for over a year, since the first time he made these…
Read MoreMexican Pizza!
Hey what’s round and fried and red all over? An anthropomorphised beach ball who fell asleep in a tanning booth as if that were even possible? Wrong! It’s a Mexican Pizza, duh. What the fudge is a Mexican pizza, you ask? Oh my gawd. HAVE YOU EVEN HEARD OF TACO BELL??? A Mexican pizza is…
Read MoreItalian Dressing Recipe
Who among us didn’t love the everloving crap out of some Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing when we were young? Truly, who among us doesn’t still love it? Ain’t no shame in that game! But it is easy and fast to make your own with higher quality (healthier) oil and honest-to-god fresh garlic to keep vampires…
Read MoreSocca Pizza – Gluten-free Pizza-like Delicious!
I discovered the wondrous foodstuff that is socca very recently after googling what the hayell to do with this bag of chickpea flour I’d had in the pantry since the dinosaurs roamed the earth. “Socca” is one of the first things to pop up.

Read MoreSmoked Sausage Wrap
If you grew up in Texas and ever went to a county fair, you’re probably familiar with the notion of a Smoked Sausage Wrap, a.k.a. Sausage Wrap. For the unfamiliar, it’s just what it sounds like: A smoked sausage wrapped in a flour tortilla — delicious and easy to eat as you walk around in…
Read MoreMango Margarita Recipe
It’s time again for the most wonderful mangoes of them all to be in season! Whoopee! (I mean that seriously.) Ataulfo mangoes are a type that have become my very favorite. I never saw them when I was a kid growing up here, but starting about 8 years ago or so, they became a regular…
Read MoreGorditas
Gorditas roughly translates into “little fatties”, which is a reference to their appearance — fat, stuffed corn tortillas — and possibly your appearance as well if you eat too many. A play on my “Healthy vs Hell-with-it” theme, these are basically Tuesday’s very healthy, low-fat and wholesome corn tortilla recipe turned into fried corn dough…
