Irish Coffee Flan (Flan with Coffee and Bailey’s Irish Cream)

IRISH COFFEE FLAN (FLAN WITH COFFEE AND BAILEY'S IRISH CREAM)

Hola Hola!

I’m so excited to FINALLY share a recipe! I can’t believe it’s taken me four months into the new year to share something, pero bueno, we’re finally here. These past few weeks have been really crazy with everything that is going on around us right now, and I hope you are all staying healthy and safe. If you haven’t heard, my cookbook Chicano Eats: Recipes from my Mexican-American Kitchen is finally available for pre-order! If you’re interested, you can pre-order here.

I spent my 30th Birthday in quarantine last month and wanted something sweet for myself, so today we are going to be making the incredibly easy irish coffee flan I made to celebrate!

Buttery Pasta with Arugula and Mushrooms

This post is sponsored by OXO, thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you’ve been following me on Instagram for a while now, you know I love to garden! When I was looking into buying a house, I knew I wanted a place that had a yard big enough for me to have a couple of raised beds because I wanted to be able to source fruits and vegetables from my garden for the many different recipes I develop! Some of the things I’ve grown in the past year include tomatoes, gooseberries, passion fruit, boysenberries, cucumbers, zucchinis, greens and corn! The recipe for this buttery pasta is inspired by my garden. It comes together pretty quickly, and it doesn’t require a ton of ingredients.

Chicharrón en Salsa Verde (Pork Rinds in Salsa Verde)

CHICHARRON EN SALSA VERDE

Hola! Hola! Feliz Sábado!

I hope you’re all comfy and cozy this morning! Today we woke up in Fresno covered in a layer of ice, so I’ll be staying in today wrapped up in my cobijas with atole catching up on the Mandalorian.

Before I go, I do want to share with a quick recipe for chicharrón en salsa verde that I tightened up. I also wanted to thank all of you who made some of my recipes a part of your Holiday traditions and festivities. I enjoyed seeing all of the pictures and stories on Instagram of you all who made my pozole rojo, the buñuelos, ponche and marranitos. It truly means a lot to see my recipes come to life in your kitchens.

Chicharrón en salsa verde is a dish that consists of pork rinds stewed in a tangy salsa verde. I like to use both regular pork rinds as well as chicharron with meat on it in my recipe so they release more flavor as they stew, and it also gives the dish a little more substance. You can serve it over rice with beans, but I love having it as tacos too.

I’m keeping it very brief today with this quick recipe. Stay warm, have a great weekend, and have a great rest of the year!

Nos vemos pronto!
