¡Hola! ¡Hola! Today I’m sharing a recipe for tacos dorados de papa con chorizo with you, but before I do, I have some good news to share!
I’m working on my next cookbook!!
Around this time last year I was waiting for my first cookbook (Chicano Eats) to be published at the end of June, and it’s so crazy to me to think that a year later, I’m already in the middle of working on my next one. The book is titled Chicano Bakes, and this book will be taking you to the panadería. In the book, I will be featuring about 80 recipes for pan dulce, tamales, baked goods, desserts, and even antojitos (or savory dishes) like tortas, picaditas or tetelas, using some of the bread and corn masa recipes that I’m going to have in the book. I can’t wait to share more about this, but if there’s anything you’d like to see in the book, let me know in the comments!
Cook and sip along with Esteban as you cook your way through the Chicano Eats Cookbook! Classes will begin with a cocktail recipe and move into the main dish. Recipes will be provided along with a game plan incase you plan on cooking along with Esteban!
In this class you’ll be learning how to make adobada tacos, which feature pork marinated in an aromatic guajillo adobo then cooked on a griddle, along with frozen coconut lime margaritas!
Today we’re making Tacos Tuxpeños, one of the recipes the LA Times featured from my cookbook! They’re incredibly easy to make, and even easier if you own a slow cooker or a pressure cooker! I’m also including a quick video tutorial below that I’ll be sharing over on my Instagram stories!
This was no doubt one of my absolute favorite photos I shot for the book, and it was the very last photo I took that day when I was working on this recipe! I remember being frustrated because I had run out of ideas on how to style them, until I remember I had these foam platters. I decided to keep it simple and just get a beauty shot of my hand holding the platter, and went with an orange background and also paired the tacos with an orange Fanta to match the oil stained tortillas to keep the monochromatic theme going.
Tacos Tuxpeños, sometimes referred to as tacos de canasta (basket tacos) or tacos al vapor (steamed tacos), is a dish we had whenever mi mamá was feeling homesick . They reminded her of her childhood in Colima, enjoying these tacos during her lunch breaks at school con sus amigas . The taco Tuxpeño originated in the tiny pueblo of Tuxpan and became famous because the train from Colima would stop there and women would stand outside with baskets filled with tacos kept warm by their own steam, ready to feed hungry passengers . The taco consists of pork stewed in a guajillo-ancho broth reminiscent of Birria, until it shreds apart . I love the flavorful filling, but instead of warming these tacos in their own steam, I like to serve mine on a crispy fried tortilla so they hold up the juicy filling much better.
Cook and sip along with Esteban as you cook your way through the Chicano Eats Cookbook, in this class you’ll be learning how to make Tacos Al Pastor! This recipe will include pork, chicken, and TVP (soy meat) for a vegan friendly option. This class will feature a pineapple mango mezcalita.
