Recipe details

Recipe details

These 3 popular Mexican recipes serve 4 people. Additional spices and sauces or other add ons are available for larger families.

Vegetarian Enchiladas

Vegetarian Enchiladas

Enchilada comes from the word "enchilar", meaning to season with chili. It's a traditional Mexican corn tortilla dish from the Mayan times (1000 BCE – 1697 CE) - corn tortillas are rolled around a meat and vegetable filling, then topped with a chili sauce.

Fajitas

Fajitas

Fajitas (pronounced fe-hi-tes) is a classic Tex-Mex fusion dish. Traditionally, strips of grilled meat and vegetables are wrapped in soft tortillas and served with sour cream. In our version, we sauté the meat and vegetables in a skillet instead of grilling them. We add some spice mix to the sour cream to create a spiced crema to complement the fajitas. It is a well-balanced and fun dish for family to share - get your hands messy and dig in!

Carnitas Tacos

Carnitas Tacos

Carnitas, translated to "little meats," herald from the Mexican state of Michoacán. Boneless pork shoulder is braised in the oven, or slow cooked ahead of time until meltingly soft and tender, with sweet, citrusy oranges and a traditional spice mix. The meat is then shredded and spread on warm corn tortillas and topped with a sweet pineapple salsa, the perfect, light contrast to the flavorful and rich pork. Corn is roasted in the oven alongside the carnitas, rolled in butter and topped with savory Cotija cheese, a pinch of cayenne, and chopped cilantro.
