We’re sharing a collection of some of our favorite Mexican recipes in honor of the holiday. Enjoy your tacos and margaritas today, and bookmark these delicious ideas for any day you want a fresh taste of Mexico on your table.
Salsa Roja
Native to Chihuahua in Northern Mexico, this salsa roja is the base for many Mexican cuisine staple dishes, including enchiladas, chilaquiles, chile colorado, and pozole.
Guajillo chiles are the foundation and are seasoned with garden herbs like Mexican Oregano, Thyme, Bay Leaf, and Garlic. If you've never played with whole chiles, this sauce is a great staple to learn.
Chile con Queso y Papas
This authentic Mexican dish, unfortunately almost impossible to find in restaurants, combines our Adobo with roasted Hatch green chiles, Poblano chiles, diced tomatoes, and Yukon gold potatoes in a saucy, cheesy delight. Get the recipe.
Arroz con Leche
Mexican Chocolate Rice Pudding, known as "Arroz con Leche," is a quick and comforting dessert that ingeniously utilizes leftover plain white rice. It effortlessly comes together in minutes, thanks to our Mayan Cocoa.
