Chorizo Potato Tacos with Avocado Tomatillo Salsa
Arguably my favorite part of this recipe is the avocado tomatillo salsa. Just look at that gorgeous pop of green! It’s creamy, zesty and just slightly spicy and a perfect compliment to the savory and rich taco filling.
Pork Chile Verde
Big surprise, I use my Instant Pot to make this pork chile verde. The result is the most tender, juicy pork morsels you’ll ever taste, braised in a most flavorful, spicy verde sauce and done in just a fraction of the time in the pressure cooker.
Instant Pot Quesabirria Tacos
Quesabirria tacos are so hot right now! The Instant Pot is not only key to making the most succulent, flavorful beef you’ve ever tasted, but the consommé or leftover braising liquid for taco dunking.
Slow Cooker Posole Verde
Call it “Mexican chicken noodle” soup, if you will. Instead of noodles, this flavorful and spicy chicken soup is laced with waxy, hearty hominy - a cousin of the corn family. Spicy, bold and zesty, it’s absolutely perfect for cold fall and winter evenings!
Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas
These sheet pan shrimp fajitas are an obsession! Not only do they come together in minutes, but they make for easy cleanup and are a budget-friendly meal. Did I mention they are mighty delicious?!
Spicy Chicken Quesadillas
This spicy chicken quesadilla is comfort food at its finest! There’s no shortage of melty, delicious cheese and they feature my special green sauce from Peruvian chicken with green sauce recipe.
Cochinita Pibil (Yucatán-Style Braised Pork)
Using just a few ingredients - like achiote paste, garlic and fresh citrus juices - this pork comes together in your Instant Pot in about an hour. You could also use your slow cooker to set and forget it! The result is the most juicy, smoky and flavorful pork you’ve ever tasted. Serve it up in taco format with your favorite fixings to get a true taste of Mexico!
Shrimp Ceviche with Cucumber and Avocado
While most ceviche utilizes raw shrimp that “cooks” in citrus juice, I actually prefer to flash poach my shrimp to ensure it’s cooked fully. Then it’s loaded with three types of citrus, cilantro, red onion, tomato jalapeño and, last but not least, cool cucumber and creamy avocado.
Sheet Pan Spicy Shrimp and Pineapple Tacos
These gorgeous and vibrant shrimp tacos have it all: they're spicy, sweet, smokey, zesty and fresh. What's even better is this recipe comes together in less than 30 minutes thanks to harnessing the power of multi-tasking and the wonder of a sheet pan.
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Quesadillas
These are also not your average 'dillas! Filled with good-for-you ingredients (but also CHEESE), these quesadillas are not only a tasty meal but a satisfying and hearty one. I kick these up a notch with bold flavor boosters like diced green chiles, a healthy dose of chili powder and a dollop of cream cheese to intensify the creaminess.
Southwest Chicken Chopped Salad
These Southwest chicken chopped salads are the antidote to sad desk salads. Topped with shredded or rotisserie chicken to keep things easy, garbanzo beans, radishes for peppery crunch, smoky bacon, sweet red bell peppers, pumpkin seeds and, not one but, two cheeses, and smoky chipotle balsamic vinaigrette, they are the opposite of boring.
Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Burritos
My huevos rancheros -inspired breakfast burritos are not only a cinch to throw together but they are a delicious, hearty and healthy and quick weekday breakfast solution. With a recipe like that, it is easy to see why I keep coming back to them over and over again!
No-Soak Pinto Beans
My pinto beans are one of the easiest things in the world to throw together, and will become a staple in your weekly meal prep routine. Make them to accompany tacos, to fill burritos or simply eat with rice and your favorite salsa.
Taco Pizza
This is the mashup of your dreams! Imagine, if you will, if Taco Bell met pizza and then you have this perfect pizza that comes together faster than you can say "fiesta.”
Josie's Hot Sauce
What makes this hot sauce so great is that it’s actually flavorful and doesn’t sear your taste buds off! Instead, this hot sauce is perfectly spicy with hints of smoke and aromatic garlic. Perfect on literally anything.
Mexican Street Corn Salad
My Mexican street corn salad is not only a dish that looks (almost) too pretty to eat, but it's quite literally an explosion of flavors in your mouth. Creamy mayo, bright lime and cilantro, crunchy green onions and charred corn, salty cotija crumbles and a hint of spicy jalapeños and chili powder create for one perfect bite.
Carne Asada Tacos
My carne asada tacos are all about the beef. Using a foolproof marinade, the beef turns out tender, juicy and ideal for taco munching. Topped with classic taco truck ingredients, these tacos are as beautiful as they are scrumptious.
Chipotle Lime Fajitas
Nothing is more festive than a sizzling plate of fajitas! My fajita marinade is simple and true to some of my favorite Mexican flavors, focusing on smoky and spicy chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and bright, zesty lime. Top with your most favorite toppings and you have yourself a “mini summer moment!”
Slow Cooker Tacos Al Pastor
As your self-proclaimed taco girl, I present to you a superbly delicious and easy recipe for tacos al pastor. My recipe takes these classic flavors of al pastor and adapts them for the slow cooker. These tacos are all about the meat. Crazy tender and bursting with flavor, they are absolutely the star of the show. But the bright and flavorful toppings - queso fresco, cilantro and fresh pineapple - really seal the deal. From someone who loves cooking and eating tacos these are by far a favorite!
Pork Chile Verde Tacos
A few pantry staples and a combo of chiles create a perfect marinade and ultimately sauce for fork-tender morsels of pork. Serve on a tortilla with pickled red onions, cabbage and avocado for an authentic taste of Mexico.
