Summer Cilantro Salsa

Fri, 06 Jul 2001 16:25:42 -0400

Great summer time salsa, perfect balance between the zip of fresh cilantro, and the bite of hot peppers. Good for parties, and can be made with cheap, soft 'reduction rack' tomatoes! -- posted by Tiffany

This is a typical Venezuelan dish (I'm Venezuelan), and I like to make it a lot since now I live in Spain. Everyone who has tried it loves them, so I thought I'd share it with everyone at Recipezaar. -- posted by Daniel Aguilar

Chipotle's Guacamole

Fri, 09 Aug 2002 00:56:55 -0400

I love Chipotle Restaurant's Guacamole! After lots of searching, I finally found the recipe in The Dallas Morning News. It was submitted by Kent Chambless, chef at one of the Chipotle Restaurants. I haven't tried out the recipe yet, but I will as soon as I go to the store and buy an avocado!!! -- posted by Kim D.

Non-fat, Low cal fruit salad with a zing, great for after dinner or as a snack. -- posted by Tyler Clarke

Stewed Chayote

Wed, 07 May 2003 20:06:57 -0400

A pleasant, somewhat summery side dish from M.S. Milliken & S. Feniger. Especially good with flaky white fish or grilled chicken. I think that the salad and veggie seasoning adds a nice flavor, but omit it if you are avoiding MSG. The chayote is just fine without it. -- posted by Muffin Goddess

Mayan Hot Chocolate

White Cheese Dip (Queso)

Tue, 21 Jun 2005 22:35:26 -0400

Just like you get at the best Mexican grills! The asadero cheese is priced so low at Save-A-Lot, so that is where I purchase mine. -- posted by SmHerndon

Dulce De Leche Bread Pudding

Fri, 23 Sep 2005 13:14:17 -0400

This quick gooey bread pudding made with caramel-like dulce de leche from Latin America is so much more than the sum of its five parts. This recipe originates from Grace Parisi, the test kitchen wizard of Food and Wine. The author suggests throwimg in a handful of fresh or frozen raspberries or blueberries before baking for even more flavor. The Crème Anglaise can overcook and curdle. Grace prevents this by preparing a cold-water bath and setting it near the stove before she even cracks an egg. -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Beans and Corn for Burritos

Mon, 21 Nov 2005 21:10:34 -0500

great with brown rice, salsa, sour cream, and guacomole as a burrito filling or on nachos. I pefected this recipe while living in the south west and later in the keys, and have found it to be a low cost meal the everyone loves. It will keep up to a week in the fridge and can be frozen. Cooking the beans and corn together insures that the kids get the right balance of amino acids (bean+corn or rice=protein, bean without corn or rice=gas). -- posted by landwings

Mama's Cilantro Cream Sauce

Wed, 03 May 2006 14:46:56 -0400

This is the sauce from my Reggae Wraps recipe. After several people asked me to post it separately I gave in. This sauce is great on just about anything but shoe leather! WONDERFUL on ASIAN cuisine, INDIAN dishes, just about anything that is grilled or spicy! Try this on tacos, burritos, grilled meats, seafood or veggies. Hope you enjoy it. -- posted by mama's kitchen

Grilled Chipotle Mexican Black Bean Burgers

Tue, 06 Jun 2006 22:37:54 -0400

At our house we love healthy food! The only requirement is that it also has to have taste , as well as being healthy. Who wants to eat healthy, if it tastes like cardboard? If you love mexican food, you are going to like these burgers!! Perfectly seasoned and great for healthy grilling. This recipe was found in an issue of First magazine. Makes 4 burgers. -- posted by ajena's kitchen

Spicy Chipotlé-Lime Salsa

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 16:55:31 -0500

The sauce-like salsa has a surprising spiciness to it. At first it is more of a smoky taste, then the spice hits you. But the great thing is it does not leave your mouth burning. I combined salsa inspirations from 2 places I have lived. Ecuadorian "Aji", and Mexican Salsa. It won the big salsa competition at work. It was named "Shut You Up" Salsa, but also was nicknamed "Sneak Attack Salsa" and "Delayed Reaction Salsa" -- posted by Rob Doar

Pineapple Salsa

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 20:56:39 -0400

I just threw this together one night to go with sauteed chicken. Tonight I made it again for a "Company Pork Roast" (#23939). What a perfect compliment to white meat! Delicious!! -- posted by Natalia 3

Dulce De Leche Ice Cream

Tue, 12 Jun 2007 17:46:47 -0400

Get out your ice cream machines for this one!! 2 cans of sweetened, condensed milk (not evaporated milk) are caramelized, and half of the mixture is stirred into a custard base. When the custard is almost frozen, the rest of the caramel is dropped in ribbons into the ice cream as it continues to churn in the ice-cream maker. -- posted by ~Rita~

The Best Salsa, Period

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 16:50:04 -0400

I've been making this salsa for probably 6 years. You can make it as hot as you want or as mild. Everyone always comments on how good it is. -- posted by Coco_K

Mexican Taco Casserole

Wed, 19 Sep 2007 21:02:38 -0400

This recipe my sister and me came up with since we love casseroles and were eager to try something new. Instead of pasta or rice it uses Mexican taco crisps. It has a great texture (soft at the bottom and crisp at the top) and is so delicious. -- posted by Lalaloula

Tomato and Avocado Stacks

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 22:27:42 -0400

Recipe comes from CookingLight, I am putting it here to use later when our earth box is going nuts. The recipe specifies heirloom tomatoes and I am sure that would be the absolute best! -- posted by WiGal

Whole Foods Garden Fresh Salsa

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:09:11 -0400

I had this salsa the other day and it was some of the best I have ever had. I can't wait to make this myself. It's best to use rubber gloves when handling hot peppers. -- posted by esmerelda smoot

Fresh Guacamole

Fri, 05 Dec 2008 17:04:42 -0500

This recipe is a variation on the "authentic guacamole" recipe on avocado.org and it is entirely made from all fresh ingredients. Plus, avocados are great for regulating blood sugar and are good for cholesterol! Gotta have good excuses for eating guacamole! -- posted by Larkin

Pumpkin Pecan Empanaditas (Mini Empanadas)

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 21:31:27 -0500

These are really pretty, little, bite-size pastries/cookies. This is a traditional dessert in Spanish-speaking countries (such as Mexico) but also can be served as a sweet appetizer. You can also use jam or dulce de leche as the filling. Don't skip the glaze as it holds the empanaditas together. This recipe is from "Diana's Desserts". Filling needs at least 45 minutes to cool (less in the freezer). -- posted by blucoat

New World Spaghetti Squash

Wed, 20 May 2009 02:24:01 -0400

I concocted this on getting acquainted with the taste and texture of a roasted spaghetti squash (also known as a calabash squash). It's an alternative to the idea of treating the squash as a substitute for spaghetti noodles. The roasted squash really has slaw-like texture--soft yet crunchy. Spaghetti squash is an ancient New World food source in Central and South America, so I decided to try making something that combined an ancient native trio of ingredients: corn, beans, and squash. On sampling the roasted squash by itself, my first thought was "black beans," and my second was "spicy." Here's what I did, based on what I had in my kitchen this evening. I'm sure others can improve on it! -- posted by Epyllion

Sunny Day Jicama-Orange Salad

Wed, 20 May 2009 13:55:03 -0400

Posted for ZWT5 from care2.com site. Interesting that it has allspice in it. Notice that you chill the dressing but not necessarily the assembled salad. And it might not taste quite the same without silty, white glowing sand stuck between your toes and the near promise of a turquoise swim, but you can always imagine. -- posted by WiGal

Quinoa - Risotto Style 1

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:07:28 -0400

This is my own recipe. I like it, as it's a fast way to eat well and feel great... Quinoa, poblano peppers and parmesan ! Don't use kraft powder. Buy some real parmesan or, even better, Belgioioso 'American Grana' if you're in the USA -- by far one of the best "parmesan" style cheeses you can find in the states. The fact that they admit it's American, gets you over a psychological barrier, and it's just a great product. You'll become addicted...eat it with fruit : figs, mango, guava... -- posted by Asd;MRS-NYC
