Hola Hola!

Did you know June is National Mango Month?!

To celebrate the occasion, we’re giving aguachile a tropical spin. We’re making a Mango Habanero Aguachile, and if you’ve never had an aguachile before, let me tell you about it! The name aguachile translates to chili water and it is very similar to ceviche, where citrus and shrimp are involved. Instead of letting the shrimp cook in the lime juice, most of the time the raw shrimp and/or scallops will be tossed in a spicy citrusy broth, then served on a bed of cucumber slices, avocado and red onion. This can seem a bit intimidating to folks who aren’t used to eating raw shrimp, so I like to just let the shrimp sit in a bowl filled with lime juice so it cooks thoroughly!

¡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!

Hola Hola!

How are you?! Today we’re making enfrijoladas and I know it’s only been a couple of days since Memorial Day, but I am so ready for a vacation! Getting to grill over the weekend was exactly what I needed. We’re already experiencing triple digit heat in the Central Valley, and I am aching for a trip to the beach!

Hola! Hola! Happy Wednesday!

Today we are making Chochoyotes con Chicken, my take on the comforting chicken and dumplings.

Before I get into the recipe, I wanted to share with you that I’m launching a Youtube Channel on April 1st! I’ve wanted to start a channel for the longest time but I kept telling myself that I ‘d get to it when I had the time–and I realized that it was never going to happen unless I just did it. So I’m doing it! I’ll be posting every Tuesday and Thursday (starting on April 1st), and I’m going to make sure to embed the videos on here so that you don’t have to travel to different sites to watch the content!
