Fiesta Pasta Soup

Wed, 19 Mar 2003 20:08:33 -0500

A very simple Mexican soup dish with spices that can be adjusted to "heat it up" or tone it down. I've had this recipe and love it, I don't know who it is by but it was published in a local newspaper. -- posted by Risë

A Unique & Yummy Salsa!

Tue, 15 Apr 2003 20:01:25 -0400

I am a a stickler for using fresh ingredients so when my boyfriend from 5 years ago made this up for the first time I cringed! Pardon me for saying so, but if I hadn't have been living with him I never would have eaten it! Hahahaha!!!! The boyfriend is long gone but this is the only salsa I'll eat! If you aren't used to cilantro it may take a few minutes to grow on you - it did me. Give it a chance though. It is seriously yummy!! -- posted by Lottidawe

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

Summer Seafood Ceviche

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 14:07:56 -0400

My favorite low-cal dish. I fell in love with this on vacation in Puerto Vallarta at the LeKliff restaurant. They served it in the shell of a coconut. Cool, spicy, light, fresh and delish! Not to mention low-cal, high protein, low carb and low fat! Measurements aren't exact and cooking time is chilling time. This is not traditional as I don't live near an ocean so I precook my seafood.. but you can cook the seafood by soaking in the lime juice for an hour if you prefer. -- posted by Bethany Taylor

Nayarit Crab Stuffed Chiles

Fri, 26 May 2006 16:30:25 -0400

Nayarit is a state on the Pacific Coast of Mexico where seafood is abundant and the flavors are ample. These stuffed chilies are a popular local appetizer. The sweet mango and the spiciness of the poblano chiles pair really well in this recipe. This dish is served cold. If you like some heat these are wonderful, if you like them hotter add jalapenos.... I love the heat!!! -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Mmmmm....fresh corn, cooked, cooled and mixed with fresh vegetables with a red wine vinaigrette=simple pleasures! The fresh herbs add the flavor to make this a memorable meal. Adapted from Midwest Living magazine. Cook time is for the corn. This is good served with chips. -- posted by Sharon123

I looked up Cambray onion and the majority of descriptions claim it to be baby pearl onions. A few sources say that spring onion will be a suitable sub. -- posted by Annacia

Seven Layer Fresh Fiesta Dip - Healthy Option

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 17:45:49 -0400

This is a low fat version that I have been experimenting with the last few months. It is quite d'lish and we prefer it above the full fat versions. I like to serve it in smaller portion control bowls and give each person their own; that has been a real hit! People really seem to love the fact they have their own little dip for double dipping! -- posted by Humble Bee
