meatless monday | enfrijoladas
consider these the perfect meal for when you’re craving enchiladas, but possess neither the time, nor the patience to actually make them.spinach, mushrooms & onions are not necessarily the first ingredients that come to mind when thinking of mexican food, but they’re so good wrapped up in corn tortillas. sprinkle in a little cheese, top [...]
mexican pizza

tequila lime chicken

meatless monday | black bean & rice enchiladas with chili gravy
i love cooking with sour cream as much, if not more, than i love topping things with it. it adds a wonderfully subtle creaminess & tang that can’t be beat. it’s what makes salsa verde sour cream enchiladas, white bean chicken chili & these enchiladas so delicious. well, that & the chili gravy. in this dish, [...]

pico de gallo
the perfect use for all of your summer tomatoes, it lets all the fresh flavors shine.love it wrapped in a burrito, heaped on a quesadilla, on top of scrambled eggs, or simply scooped up with a good, salty tortilla chip. mmmmm. from the pioneer woman cooks (makes as little, or as much as you’d like!)

tgif cocktail: millerlada
{hi! welcome to our new place!} this tasty beverage is brought to you by the triple degree temperatures prematurely showing themselves here in june. a savory, refreshing alternative to the typical summer umbrella drink, this is pretty much a michelada, if you’re familiar, but based on miller lite, as opposed to a mexican beer. as [...]
