Mango-Avocado Salsa

Tue, 24 Jun 2003 20:01:02 -0400

This is an easy tropical dish that is full of flavor! I like to serve it with chips, or as a side dish. It would be easy to try slightly different versions by adding lime juice, ginger, pineapple, or jalapenos, depending on your personal taste. If you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them! Thanks! -- posted by Calla Lily

Tex-mex Rice

Fri, 21 May 2004 20:00:29 -0400

This is a version of rice that you find at a Tex-Mex restaurant. It is way easier than it looks and after you have made it once or twice - you can do it by heart. My kids love it and I love that I can sneak a few veggies in! Can be made vegan with veggie broth. -- posted by Cindy Rowden

Copycat Baja Fresh Salsa

Mon, 17 Jan 2005 20:01:22 -0500

Posted by request, this came from TSR. I haven't actually tried it myself, nor have I ever been to a Baja Fresh restaurant, but I've gotten pretty good results with many other TSR recipes. Note: prep and cook time are estimated, and the key points are the firm, chilled tomatoes and stem-side-down start to blackening them. -- posted by Muffin Goddess

Mango Guacamole

Tue, 08 Mar 2005 20:00:08 -0500

This is a fabulous option to a classic! I love mangoes and decided to substitute them for tomatoes after seeing how often mangoes are used in Latin American cooking. This is a very forgiving recipe in that almost all ingredients are to taste. For a hotter result, do not seed the chilies. I have done my best to give you the way my family likes it best. This is the result! -- posted by MacChef

Baja California Tofu Scramble

Tue, 19 Apr 2005 10:44:50 -0400

I've been trying to come up with a tofu breakfast that I really like. This uses the mexi-cali herbs and spices we often cooked with in LA. The veggies I used were the ones I had on hand, but diced sweet potato, carrots, nopales (if you have that on hand I envy you!), or a tablespoon or two of corn kernels or black beans would probably also be tasty. I tend to eyeball herbs and spices, so the measurements here are best guestimates-- add more or less to your own taste. -- posted by catwolf

Mexican Coleslaw (Sans Mayo)

Wed, 08 Jun 2005 10:57:48 -0400

"Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good."-Alice May Brock of Alices' Restaurant fame. Albiet no garlic in this recipe, but this is a refreshing alternative to mayonnaise-based coleslaw in a taco or on the side. To Make Ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Toss again to refresh just before serving. (Eating Well, June/July 2003) -- posted by Enduring Gastronomy

Mon, 29 May 2006 20:38:07 -0400

I love sweet and spicy combinations and this fruit salad is one of those great pairings. Salad should chill for about 2 hours before serving so plan ahead. -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

San Felipe Fish Tacos

Mon, 06 Nov 2006 18:30:12 -0500

Our favorite fish tacos! The white sauce adds a delightful element to the tacos. Recipe was published in our local newspaper as the fish taco recipe from Rubios Baja Grill, San Diego, CA. When we lived there Rubios was our favorite place for a quick bite to eat. -- posted by Koriander

Baja Fried Fish Tacos With Spicy Cabbage Slaw

Tue, 13 May 2008 18:37:53 -0400

I love these fish tacos. You can find them in many California areas. You can either order the fish grilled or fried and because I love deep fried food, it's always fried fish for me when ordering or making them. Besides the spicy cabbage slaw I also like to top the whole thing with mounds of salsa and taco sauce. Goes great with Pacifico! -- posted by Rinshinomori

Tue, 13 May 2008 18:54:32 -0400

There are so many recipes for Guacamole... I searched and didn't see any like my own. Using serrano peppers, white onion and garlic powder makes my recipe a tad different with a Huge taste! -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)

White Corn & Avocado Salsa

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 00:12:55 -0500

This is another delicious recipe served by my wife's mom while we were visiting this past Christmas. She served this with a spicy shrimp cake appetizer, but this salsa would be good served plain with tortilla chips or as a topping for chicken or fish tacos. I'm sure the list goes on - enjoy! -- posted by jpknight22

Mexican Tuna Dip

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:07:43 -0400

I just came back from a fabulous trip to Los Cabos and ate at this restaurant that served this delicious dip that they called "Tuna Dip." They just told me it had canned tuna in it and wouldn't tell me anything else. So I came home and experimented and the result is almost exactly the same! -- posted by Grace Lynn
