it all started with a love for food
These naturally high-protein Chicken Quesadillas are one of my favourite, easy-to-make, quick meals on rotation right now. Coming together in under 30 minutes and perfect for quick meal nights or even for cooking over a camp stove this summer.
Taco salad bowls are the perfect weeknight dinner. Extra-lean ground beef, avocado crema, and customizable additions for every palate.
Traditionally made by slow-cooking pork in lard, this authentic(ish) recipe uses pork, oranges, limes, and other aromatics and slow cooks them to perfection before crisping them up under the broiler. This recipe has been on my regular rotations for years. It never fails to produce ultra tender, flavourful meat.
This is my favourite quick and healthy side dish when I’m making Mexican food and need to get some veggies on the table. My Mexican Corn and Black Bean Salad is great as a side dish, in a steak taco, or as leftovers eaten straight out of the fridge. It’s an all-purpose, delicious and robust salad that’s perfect in those hot summer months (or even in the dead of winter – it’s so delicious!).
Pozole Rojo is all about the toppings. Honestly, it’s my new favourite stew because of the deeply rich (but not too spicy) broth, the tender pork, bright fresh toppings, and crunchy additions like tortilla chips (totopos) and cabbage. It’s amazing!
This is a recipe I truly only make in the summer. There’s just something extra special about cooking Mexican rice with veggies entirely from your garden. Their own incredible flavours shine here, and the tomato, cilantro, jalapeno addition gives it just enough kick to make it pair incredibly with tacos, enchiladas and more!
This is the best guacamole recipe! Smashed avocados, white onion, serranos, tomato, and lime make up this fresh and easy dip.
This delicious braised pork recipe slow cooks pork shoulder in a roasted tomatillo salsa for a flavourful, almost caramelized shreddable pork perfect for tacos, tostadas, burritos, or taco salad bowls.
Caesar salad is my favourite “fancy” salad I like to make when I have company. It’s simple to make and prep ahead, tossing just before sitting down to eat. It’s fantastic on romaine or kale and great in a chicken Caesar wrap.
This flavourful Mexican pozole verde is made simple with shredded rotisserie chicken, canned salsa verde, beans, and hominy. The intense flavours brought out by the simple ingredients make this an easy weeknight recipe to whip up on short notice.
