Beachside coconut flan
But I do miss my piece of beachside coconut flan. The one I used to have in Acapulco, many Decembers ago, growing up. My favorite was from Pipo’s, a restaurant in “la Costera”, an old neighborhood along the beach. It has a creamy and smooth layer on top that blends into a bottom layer of softened and nicely chewy coconut. I have tried a couple versions and the best one is also the simplest one.
Berry Tequila Rosé Sangria
This refreshing summer drink is part sangria, part berry tequila mojito, part fabulous.
Birthday Cake with Meringue and Strawberry Jam
One of the cakes that left me with a permanent impression went something like this: A couple layers of fluffy and moist vanilla cake, a foamy and soft meringue filling paired with old fashioned strawberry jam and pecans, the same soft meringue layered all over the top, some more pecans and whatever decorations you fancied. That cake, by itself, made a party happen. It was a creation worthy of its own celebration.
Breakfast Sopes
These breakfast sopes are perfect for a busy weekday morning, but look fancy enough to enjoy with a cup of joe for a sit-down weekend breakfast.
Charcuterie Board
With this impressive charcuterie board, I promise you it will be the hit of the fiesta and it’s stress-free entertaining.
Easy Mexican Chocolate and Dulce de Leche Croissants
With store-bought puff pastry, you can make flaky, homemade Mexican chocolate croissants in less than 30 minutes.
Egg and Green Chile Croissant Panini
An amazing breakfast treat -- fixings piled high on a lightly toasted croissant!
Eggs a la Mexicana
There are countless egg dishes in Mexican cooking, one better than the other. But these are the ones I prepare the most at home. They are easy to make, super tasty and dress up a breakfast in a wink. What’s more, I always have oil, eggs, tomatoes, onion and either Jalapeño or Serrano chiles handy.
Fried Egg on Corn Tortilla with Salsa Casera
This is the way I “avocado toast”.
Frozen Beergaritas
A pitcher of frozen beergaritas is the perfect cocktail for entertaining. Mix up a batch in the blender with fresh lime juice, frozen limeade, Mexican beer, and tequila.
Fry Bread Tacos
Similar to homemade flour tortillas, but fry bread is fried, light, fluffy, and delicious. You can eat it on its own or smothered with beans, picadillo, lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes. Feel free to garnish with avocado, pico de gallo, and a dollop of sour cream.
Guava Empanadas
My friends over at Melissa’s Produce sent me guavas and cinnamon for our Friendsgiving Tamalada and since I had some leftover we decided to make empanadas filled with homemade guava preserves.
