Mexican Food Recipes

i have a bunch of pork loin chops bone in and would like to grill them and have rice (the kind with tomatoes & stuff in it), beans & cheese, salad,avacado slices & tortillas.might someone typically use pork loin chops bone in to grill for a plate like this? what seasonings should i use? thanks

Since you have pork, why dont' you chop it up into big chunks and make "chile verde"… just brown your pork in a large skillet with salt & pepper. Boil or broil 3 large fresh jalapenos & about 8 large tomatillos (they're the green tomatoe looking veggies with a husk on them), put them in a blender with a garlic clve, piece of onion, cilantro and S&P, add to your cooking pork and simmer for another 20 minutes.
Side dishes, rice & beans & some warm corn tortillas.
They're going to love it! good luck.

I’m probably going to be making talapia and I want something that’s light. I was thinking if anyone has a good Mexican recipe for it (not fish tacos please and no ceviche since I’m pregnant). It’s going to be served with a tomato, cilantro and onion salad. So, something that’s complimentary.

Thanks.

how about poached mexican talapia served cold or warm over your salad

Poaching: cooking aromatic liquid over medium heat ( not boiling)

broth for poaching

1 quart of water

1 lemon squeeze juice into pan you are going to poach in
1 cup white wine
1 onion chopped rough
1 carrot chopped rough
1 celery stock chopped rough
2 tomatoes chopped
3 tsp chili powder
chopped cilantro

bring to boil reduce heat so that the liquid just has a small slow boil,

add talapia

cook for 4-7 minutes
serving cold
remove pot from stove and place in fridge and cool ( you could do this the day before or early the day you are going to serve. dry
flake over salad.
Serving warm
gentle remove fish from hot liquid.
place on paper towel and pat

Remove fish from liquid and lightly flake over salad.

Its a burger with a slick slab of cheddar cheese on an english muffin bun. The burger has some type of balsamic onions and chipotle ketchup. Does anyone have the exact recipe?

I'd also like the recipe for the Mexican tomato salad that is featured with it if you have it. Thank you!!!
I cannot find the recipe online, Bon Appetit, Epicurious or anywhere. There are a million burger recipes on those sights, but not this one.

I really hope someone will post the recipe I have requested.

I have the magazine. You can find the recipe at:

I have a great recipe you might enjoy as well:

During last minute, split ciabatta rolls
down middle, toast on grill, about 1 minute.

Spread mayo on each side of the bun, put lettuce
on bottom bun and the fantastic burger on the lettuce.

The recipe is on the cover of the brand new Bon Appetit July 2008 bbq magazine. It's a cheddar burger on an English muffin bun with chipotle ketchup and some type of balsamic marinated onions on it. I would like to have a copy of the exact recipe for that burger and the Mexican tomato salad side dish.

I cannot find this recipe at Epicurious or Bon Apptit.com. If anyone has it, can they please post it for me?

PreparationPrepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Combine meat, onion, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in medium bowl; blend well. Divide meat mixture into 2 equal portions. Shape each into ball. Poke deep hole in each ball and fill each with half of cheese. Mold meat around cheese to enclose. Flatten each filled burger to 3/4-inch-thick patty.
Grill burgers to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium. Grill muffin halves until beginning to color, about 1 minute per side. Serve burgers in muffins.

In a bowl combine herbs and scallions and toss with remaining vinaigrette.

Mound herb mixture on top of tomato slices.

but all I ever end up making is tacos, taco salad, or enchiladas. Got any other good Mexican recipes I can add to my rotation?

i’ve read actual sour cream with sugar or yogurt. i really want to make it. it’s ridiculous how these salads are being sold for almost 7 dollars for a small tray so i think im better off making it myself. anyone have the recipe??

we make ours with whip cream

I ate a salad in Cancun which had a light, creamy corn dressing on the top. Quite delicious. Must be Mexican or Mayan.

http://robbiehaf.com/Recipes/Salads.html This site should help you.

I used to only like the family recipe potato salad….UNTIL I had Juan Pollo (So Cal chain only I believe.) everyone I know loves this stuff. It has black olives, shredded carrots, but it is not just mayo….not sure if it is sour cream, mexican creme or what. So good, I hope there is someone who know the recipe! Thanks

I've searched everywhere but can't find the recipe. I think you may have to call the store. By law, they have to supply the ingredients if you ask them.

Please send site for salads and such. I believe it may a mexican dish
