As promised, a week full of #CincoDeMayo recipes including these Enchiladas Suizas made with ground beef. Creamy, cheesy Enchiladas Suizas uses a tomatillo base and gets tops with thinly slices red onion and cilantro. Who wouldn’t want to dive into a big ‘ol dish of cheesy enchiladas? These Enchiladas Suizas are made with ground beef, but you could easily make them vegetarian and just use cheese as the filling. In fact, that’s how I like them best! Whenever I make a batch for the family, I make two full dishes of these, one with beef and one with cheese. This recipe uses my Salsa Verde recipe combined with a little…

Shrimp and scallops get gently grilled adding a hint of smokiness as they…

Fire roasted poblano stuffed with creamy Oaxaca cheese and crumbled sausage, wrapped in smoky bacon and served on a plate of corn crema One of my favorite dishes to make are Bacon Wrapped Poblanos. I’ve made them a million different ways, but this might just be my favorite. If you’ve ever tried a poblano pepper, sometimes called pasilla pepper, you know that one time you’ll get a spicy one and other times they have a definite kick to them, which makes this sweet corn crema the perfect way to eat these up! These babies are stuffed with a creamy Mexican melting cheese called Oaxaca and spicy crumbled sausage, them wrapped up…

Anything having to do with tacos is always my favorite. Maybe because they are usually accompanied by margaritas and tequila shots! Or maybe because they are just fun to eat. One of my favorite local taquerias is La Catrina Tacos and Tequila in Mount Vernon, WA. They have really good margaritas, a super fun atmosphere and lots of different tacos to try. Check them out https://www.facebook.com/lacatrinatacostequilamv/ I dare you to try the Chapulines (Yes! Grasshopper Tacos! I bet they are crunchy!!) If you’re staying home try one of my recipes.
