Hey friends, welcome! Today, I want to share a recipe that’s a regular in my dinner rotation: Flank Steak Tacos. There’s just something special about them. The sizzle of the steak hitting a hot pan. The incredible smell of the marinade. The fun of piling on your favorite toppings. It’s a meal that feels like a party, even on a regular Tuesday night. I’ve been making these for years, and I’ve finally perfected a marinade that’s so good but also incredibly simple.

Let me tell you about a recipe that has saved dinner in my house more times than I can count. It’s one of those meals that just feels like a warm hug. You know the kind. It’s hearty, cheesy, a little bit sweet, and just so incredibly good. If you need a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for a busy weeknight or a lazy Sunday, you’ve found it.

Let’s be honest. All tacos are good tacos. But then there are fried tacos. The kind with that perfect, shattering crunch. The ones where the savory, cheesy filling is sealed inside a golden shell. They’re called tacos dorados—golden tacos—and for good reason. They are pure comfort food. Absolute bliss. While nobody knows exactly where they came from, they’re a huge deal in Mexican and Mexican-American homes. This isn’t your drive-thru hard shell taco. This is different. This is better. The tortilla and the filling get fried together, creating this perfect, sealed little package of flavor. The recipe I’m sharing today?…
Hey everyone, welcome to my kitchen! Today, we’re going to make one of my all-time favorite dishes, something that tastes like the heart and soul of Mexico: gorditas. I had my first real gordita from a street cart in Mexico City years ago, and my life was never the same. Seriously. The name literally means “little fat ones,” and I promise, it’s a term of endearment! They’re these wonderful little corn cakes—thick, soft, and puffy, with a perfectly crisp outside. You slice them open, and they have this perfect little pocket just waiting to be stuffed with all sorts of…
Hey there! Today, I want to share a recipe that’s incredibly close to my heart. It’s more than just a meal. It’s a warm hug in a bowl, a reason to gather, and a huge part of Caribbean culture. We’re making Sancocho. Specifically, my absolute favorite version of this rich beef and vegetable stew. If you’ve never tried it, just picture the best beef stew you can imagine. Now, load it up with a wild variety of tropical root vegetables, corn, and a broth so flavorful it warms your soul. Sancocho is a big deal all over Latin America, and…
Hello, friend! Let me tell you a little story. For years, my only experience with a “chalupa” was from a drive-thru window. It was fine, I guess. But then I had a real one. It was a total revelation. A proper homemade chalupa is something special. It’s this amazing fried bread that’s somehow pillowy-soft on the inside yet perfectly crisp and golden on the outside. It’s the perfect little boat to hold all your favorite toppings. Forget the sad, flat things you get in a paper bag. This is the real deal. So, what are we making today? Think of…

If you’re like me and you love the incredible flavor of traditional tamales but don’t have an entire day to spend making them, then this recipe is for you. Seriously.

It’s often called a “Tamale Pie,” and it takes all the best parts of tamales—the rich, savory filling and the fluffy corn topping—and turns them into a super simple, one-pan dinner. Real…
Hey friends! Welcome to my kitchen. Today, we’re going to bake one of my absolute favorite things in the world: homemade Conchas. If you’ve ever walked into a Mexican bakery, or panadería, you know exactly what I’m talking about. You’re hit with that amazing smell of fresh bread, and you see shelves filled with colorful, shell-patterned sweet rolls. Those are conchas, and they are basically the rockstars of Mexican pan dulce (sweet bread). I remember my first time trying one. It was this soft, fluffy bun with a crunchy, sweet cookie topping. It was more than just bread. It felt…
