Mexican Food

Slightly Healthier Pork Carnitas

Filed Under: Mexican Food

Carnitas de Puerco directly translates to “little pork meats.” It is, in fact, a Mexican version of pulled pork. What makes it shine, though, is the soft and juicy meat crisped up on the edges. The challenge for a lot of people is that carnitas are traditionally fried in their own fat. Basically it’s deep-fried, […]

Cebolla Roja Encurtidos – Pickled Red Onions

Filed Under: Mexican Food, Sides, Salads, and Condiments

Pickled red onions (cebolla roja encurtidos) are a traditional condiment for tacos in Southern Mexico. They add an excellent acidic kick to tacos that include fatty meats like barbacoa, carnitas, and especially cochinita pibil. While white vinegar isn’t the traditional acid used in pickled red onions (sour oranges are), it works just fine and makes […]

Roasted Tomato and Jalapeno Salsa

Filed Under: Mexican Food, Sides, Salads, and Condiments

This recipe is for our workhorse salsa. A rustic, roasted tomato and jalapeno salsa. At any given time, I have at least one jar of it sitting in my refrigerator. We use it for everything from our morning eggs, to chips and dip, to carnitas tacos on the weekend. There are a couple of things […]

Ceviche de Camaron – Shrimp Ceviche

Filed Under: Mexican Food

Ceviche de camaron (shrimp ceviche) is a perfect refreshing appetizer for a hot day. It also pairs perfectly with a light beer like Carta Blanca. Why Parboil the Shrimp for Ceviche de Camaron? I live in West Texas. There is no such thing as fresh shrimp out here. The vast majority of the shrimp available […]

Receta de Pambazos – Pambazo Sandwich Recipe

Filed Under: Mexican Food

Mexican Food is very popular in the United States, but Mexican sandwiches haven’t really caught on for some reason. This lack of attention to the Mexican sandwich is a travesty since they are absolutely excellent. In an attempt to do our small part in rectifying this situation, we’re going to show you how to make […]

Birria Tacos with Consomme

Filed Under: Featured, Mexican Food

One of my missions in life is to discover the perfect taco. I find it a worthy mission, and if I ever find that perfect taco, I think that my life would have been lived well. I believe birria tacos (sometimes called “quesabirria”) deserve a spot among the all-time best and have gotten me much […]

Salsa Ranchera

Filed Under: Mexican Food, Sides, Salads, and Condiments

For most people, salsa ranchera is more of a spicy tomato sauce than a salsa, although the ingredients are the same. It’s generally made as a topping for huevos rancheros, but it goes great with any protein forward dish. Salsa ranchera is a fried salsa, which means that after blending the ingredients, you’ll pour them […]

Welcome to Tex-Mex Recipe Workbook.

The recipes you’ll find here are inspired by what I grew up eating in far West Texas. Not quite Tex-Mex, Southern, New Mexican, or Mexican, but that big, mostly empty area between them all.
