Chiles rellenos

May 29, 2015 by Mary

Traditionally, the chile relleno is made with a poblano pepper stuffed with cheese or beef, battered with egg, fried, and served with a simple fresh tomato salsa. As poblano peppers can be a little hard to come by on this side of the world, I have a version I make with long green capsicums (rather…

Cheese quesadillas

April 26, 2015 by Mary

One of the mainstays of Mexico’s street-side stands, quesadillas are considered quintessential Mexican. Traditionally in Mexico quesadillas are made with corn tortillas, not wheat flour tortillas, and a melty white cheese. Quesadillas can also be made with flour tortillas, but for a basic quesadilla con queso, corn is best. The corn adds more flavour and…

Cheese and jalapeno tamales

April 8, 2015 by Mary

  Tamales (pronounced tamallees) originated in Mexico between 5000 and 8000 BC and are considered one of the most beloved traditional foods.

Enchiladas with rice and corn

There is a lot to love about their make and bake simplicity – fill a tortilla with your favourite filling, roll it up, cover with a spicy sauce and bake. No one knows exactly who was the first person…

Baked potato with fresh salsa

January 26, 2015 by Mary

Salsa, cheese and reduced-fat sour cream can make a perfect topping for baked potatoes! You can get quite complex toppings (think black beans, avocado, coriander) but here is a basic favourite I like to make for a quick and easy meal. INGREDIENTS 4 baking potatoes 1 cup chopped green onions 1 cup shredded California Monterey…

No one really knows who first came up with the Sal No one really knows who first came up with the Salsa name. It's tied to the Salsa musicians who would cheer dancers on with an exclamation of "Salsa!" to stir them up before playing a lively tune.

However, neither the dance nor the music can compare with the long life of the condiment. As early as 1571, the Spanish monk Alonso de Molino coined the name "salsa" for Aztec sauce preparations. The early beginnings of the yummy salsas we enjoy today.

Just how does Salsa music and dance relate to the delicious condiment? 

Regardless of which type of salsa you choose –  eating through a tub of salsa while blasting Celia Cruz right before hitting the dance floor — it seems that salsa brings the spice to life.

It's definitely cherished in our family!

The humble burrito is a great lesson in life. Too The humble burrito is a great lesson in life.

Too often, we try to make what we do exceptionally complex instead of trying to simplify it. We hide behind buzzwords, we present ourselves in such a way that hides the basic thoughts we’re trying to convey. 
 
The same thing happens with burritos. We add the unnecessary toppings and ingredients. In Mexico, the traditional burrito represents a way to make use of common and beloved ingredients - tortillas, beans, salsa, seasonings, meat (or no meat for vegetarian or vegan 😀).

The next time you’re in a complex situation, think of the humble Mexican burrito. Keep it simple but make each piece spectacular!
