Just another recipe that proves Mexicans do it better. Take a traditional everyday sandwich, replace your white bread with a toasted Mexican Bolillo. If that isn't delicious enough (and in most cases, it is!) Spread the top with refried beans, fill with something unquestionably delicious like chorizo, and top it all with your favorite salsa. Chorizo-egg combo is something traditionally offered as a breakfast item but anyone who's had chorizo knows it's made for rebels who can goggle it up whenever, wherever!
Extend the life of your mole or chipotle sauce by using it as the flavor base in this loaded rice dish! Sweet or spicy? Pick your poison, you can't go wrong. Just remember to use the right kind of rice for the right kind of dish: white for chipotle, spanish yellow rice for mole.
My mom lives off tuna salad. A big bowl of this and some saltines are a regular for her. One exception: She hates peas. Me? I love them. So few recipes call for peas so this one is one easy whip-up for when i'm craving that, and need a break from the regular chicken/meat rotation. Just a quick substitute: swap Potato for the healthier, much lower calorie Mexican Chayote Squash and use Walden Farms no calorie Mayo. No saltines means no barrier between your tongue and the crazy delicious win that is this lunch bowl.
The secret of the Chipotle burrito bowl? The tomatillo sauce. Other than that, the secret is no secret at all. The ingredients are spelled out for you: brown rice? brown rice. Black beans? Black beans. This means you can easily replicate this lunch at home on your own, and pocket those $10 which lets face it, can be much better utilized on supplies and ingredients which could become 3 or 4 or 5 lunch meals. Invest in your future and your present and whip up your favorite combo. Mine is below. Once you've mastered your Chipotle favorite you can turn to other options. One regular favorite of mine is the Taco Burrito Bowl-using Taco meat and Goya sazon. Stay tuned for a recipes like Chicken Tinga bowls. Easy to make and even easier to devour.
Ran out of huaraches one day so I improvised. Whip up some Chorizo-spiced potatoes and use it as a topping for these tasty huarache-style arepas. Load it with your choice of tomato, lettuce, onion, cilantro, and your favorite salsa. You'll never have to leave your own kitchen to get restaurant-quality mexican food!
All it takes is a few minutes to prep your toppings to make these totally customizable, super low-calorie, and utterly delicious tostadas. Great for picky eaters and last-minute friend-hosting!
Always looking for a good reason to use lima beans and garbanzos-try this Mexican dish featuring tender calabacitas and poblano peppers (don't worry, it's not spicy.)
You will need two hands and a wide mouth to devour this treat. Inspired by Argentina's beloved Choripan, a Chorizo sandwich paired with Chimichurri, this low-calorie substitute can be addictive. You'll want to make Chimichurri again and again-as if it wasn't hard enough to choose between red and green salsa for your daily meals.
One of the greatest parts of eating a chorizo-stuffed poblano pepper is getting to drink the chorizo-flavored broth leftover once the poblano is done. Skip the poblano and enjoy this inspired recipe-a rich stew filled with veggies, sausage, and beans, like a beautiful, low-calorie chili you never knew you needed.
