Most Mexican chicken breast recipes fail before the seasoning ever matters, because the breast itself is cooked wrong. Breast meat has almost no fat, which means it swings from juicy to chalky in about two minutes of extra heat. Fix the cooking and every recipe on this list gets dramatically better. So before the list,…
Mexican breakfast recipes solve a problem most breakfast traditions ignore: how to make eggs, beans and yesterday’s tortillas taste like a reason to get out of bed. Almost everything below is built from six ingredients you already stock if you cook from this site at all: eggs, corn tortillas, beans, salsa, cheese and chiles. One…
Mexican black bean recipes divide into two schools: the ones where beans support the plate, and the ones where beans are the plate. Both start from the same place, a well-made pot, and the pot is where most cooks have been lied to. You do not need to soak overnight, you should salt from the…
Mexican beef recipes split cleanly along one line: the cut of beef decides the method, and the method decides your evening. Ground beef and thin steaks are twenty minute food. Chuck and short rib are three hour food, and pretending otherwise is how birria ends up tough. Match the cut to the clock you actually…
Mexican appetizer recipes get judged by a harsher standard than dinner: they have to taste good an hour after you made them, at room temperature, while you are busy doing something else. A dish that peaks for five minutes has no business at a party. So this list is sorted by the thing that actually…
Mexican soup recipes split into two groups: weeknight soups that are done in half an hour, and weekend soups that simmer for two hours and feed you for three days. Both are on this list, sorted by time. One rule applies to almost all of them, and skipping it is why homemade versions taste flatter…
Mexican ground beef recipes are the cheapest way to feed a family from this cuisine, and one pound stretches to six servings once beans, rice or potato get involved. Two things separate good ground beef from grey ground beef, and neither takes extra time. In this recipe Brown It Hard, Then Leave Some Fat 20…
Mexican dessert recipes lean on four things: cinnamon, condensed milk, corn and chocolate that is closer to bitter than sweet. Most of them are cheaper to make than American desserts because there is no butter-heavy pastry involved. Three of the classics have a specific failure point that ruins them, so those are called out directly….
Mexican chicken recipes are where most people should start, because chicken is cheap, it cooks fast, and one batch of shredded chicken turns into four different dinners without you cooking again. There is one technique that matters more than any recipe on this list, so we will get it out of the way first. In…
Mexican casserole recipes exist because rolling enchiladas for six people is a job and layering them is not. Same ingredients, same flavour, a third of the work. There is one baking method that applies to nearly every casserole here and fixes the two problems people complain about. In this recipe Covered First, Then Uncovered The…
