I used to visit my friend Teresa in Brownsville, TX. We would cross the border to this open air vendor/food stand to eat this. The cook did not or could not hide her ingredients, so we know what was put in this dish. You can serve this with rice, beans, or make it into wraps. The ingredients are very forgiving, so feel free to increase or decrease the amount stated.

Quick Easy and Delicious! I learned this recipe from many years of eating with the Mexican cooks at my restaurant. They like to sneak in breakfast before we open. I've grown to LOVE this breakfast. If you like spicy food, you will love this.

Avocado Corn Soup

Only four ingredients plus garnish and you have a savory soup that's perfect for a fall or winter supper or brunch starter. If you wish, use the canned Mexicorn®, with bits of red and green pepper. You can also use frozen corn kernels and cook them in the microwave according to packaged directions. If you wish, chop a quarter cup of any of the fresh herbs suggested, to stir in just before serving. Avocado adds wonderful flavor and richness to the creamy soup, and there are only 200 calories per satisfying serving.

Avocados are a wonderful companion to fish. Put the two together in a soft taco with some simply dressed shredded cabbage and you've created a feast. Use coleslaw from a bag to save even more time.

Beef Tamales

Submitted by: jenn 
These are just like the tamales my Abuelita used to make for special occasions. This recipe makes a lot, but if you're going to go to all the trouble of making tamales from scratch, you might as well have a party! You will need butchers' twine and a large pot with a steamer basket to make these. May be frozen up to 6 months in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags. To reheat, thaw in refrigerator and then steam or microwave until heated through.
