You can't go wrong with corn, chicken, cheddar cheese, and chiles wrapped up in a warm tortilla. This simple supper is a great recipe to cook up in a pinch and everyone is bound to enjoy it. I had chicken tenders on hand, so I used those and the recipe was even easier and quicker to cook. Employ fresh corn since it's in season and adds great flavor. You can serve this in a tortilla (like I did) Read more

The next time you get a craving for gooey chorizo-filled queso dip, there's only one thing to do. Make this amazing cheese dip! Sure, it has nothing to do with Summer cooking or seasonal eating, but that's OK. Sometimes it's nice to break the rules and just enjoy a dip because it tastes really good. A combination of queso fresco, white cheddar, mozzarella, and goat cheese, this queso is Read more

In Texas, much like the cattle that dot the Lone Star State, Tex-Mex dishes like enchiladas, queso, and chimichangas dominate. As a native Houstonian, I've devoured more than my fair share of Tex-Mex fare. Nonetheless, I have a deep, dark confession to make: I've never understood the real difference between beef tacos (like tacos al carbon) and fajitas. After all, they're both hot Mexican plates Read more

When I get tired of my open-faced fried egg sandwich, I like to make a different meatless meal that features the incredible, edible egg. It's a simple tortilla topped with cheese, avocado, and the fried egg. It's got a Tex-Mex spin thanks to the addition of pepper Jack cheese and spicy chipotle salsa. This recipe serves one but can easily be altered to feed your loved ones. It's fast, fresh, and Read more

All this margarita talk has got me craving Mexican food! While I love a delicious bowl of guacamole and an addictive queso, my all-time favorite Mexican dish is tacos. Salmon tacos, beef tacos, chicken tacos — I don't discriminate against certain proteins. Hard tacos, soft tacos: what's not to love about this versatile dish that can be filled and topped with an endless array of ingredients? On Read more

Nachos are one of my favorite foods, so when I realized the Super Bowl was around the corner, I had to whip up a batch. The thing that makes these nachos — which are not baked, but assembled — absolutely to die for is the spicy queso sauce. I used Cabot's hot habanero cheddar, and I highly recommend seeking out this cheese to make these nachos. Combined with a quick béchamel, it results in Read more

I've been getting into candy making lately in preparation for the holidays and trying out new ideas like this Frito brittle. A little unusual but just as delicious as the original, Frito brittle is my new favorite! Here is my basic (peanut) Read more

When I had some friends over to try Bobby Flay's award-winning burger, there was only one thing I thought to pair the burgers with: fries. Not just any fries, but seasonal sweet potato fries. The burger is called the Santa Fe, so I was hoping for Tex-Mex inspired fries. Luckily, I found this recipe for baked sweet potato fries with a creamy and cooling avocado dip. The pairing of slightly spicy Read more

It's time for my absolute favorite party of the year: my birthday party! It's coming up on Thursday, Sept. 16, and although 29 is not a milestone, that doesn't mean I'm not doing something special. Yes, it will be more low-key than the elaborate five-course dinner I hosted last year. In fact, it will be an intimate affair in Spain! I'm treating myself to some rest and relaxation at a friend's Read more
