Mexican Recipes

Mexico has one of the richest, most diverse, and let's face it, tastiest of all world cuisines. With roots dating to the great civilizations of the Maya, Zapotecs, Aztecs and more, Mexico is home to some of the most treasured foods in the United States, from corn, beans and squash to tomatoes and peppers.

This is a wide selection of Mexican recipes I have developed from a combination of travel, study (in English and Spanish), conversations with an array of Mexican cooks, and more.

From classic turkey mole to fundamentals like how to make corn tortillas and how to make your own nixtamal, to standards like pozole rojo and picadillo, you will likely not only find what you're looking for in this list, but also things you never knew existed, like this recipe for fish meatballs from Baja.
