I am so excited to share with you that I am finally creating content for YouTube, and my first video went live today! Watch today’s recipe below.

To celebrate we’re making a recipe from my first cookbook, Chicano Eats: Recipes from my Mexican American Kitchen, for a cocktail that I like to call La Cuba.

Jump to Recipe

Hola! It’s been a while since I’ve last shared a recipe, and boy what a time it has been since!

The super bowl is happening this weekend, so I’m sharing a couple of easy recipes to throw together if you’re hosting, but before I do, I want to catch you up on what I’ve been up to since!

The response to my new cookbook, Chicano Bakes has been amazing! I had the opportunity to go on different podcasts to promote the book, got to promote it on tv, and also had multiple pieces written about the book!! This thrillist piece was my favorite.

Did I mention the New York Times named Chicano Bakes as one of the best cookbooks of 2022, and Epicurious named Chicano Bakes one of the best baking books of 2022? I truly could not be more happy!

If you haven’t had the opportunity to pick up a copy, you can purchase it on Amazon, or visit my book shop here!

Onto the dip! The recipe for this bean dip is very straightforward and it only requires three ingredients; refried beans, enchilada sauce, and Colby Jack cheese. Toss them together, warm in the microwave, and serve! It’s that easy!!

Will you be tuning into the Superbowl this year? I’ll be back tomorrow with another quick and refreshing recipe for the 2023 Super Bowl! Nos vemos pronto!
