Not pictured: Salsa de chile de arbol and frijoles de la olla.

I was legit impressed, he's got the legit tortilla towel and everything.

They always give it to make at any fast food Mexican restaurant I go to and it's delicious!

Pic for attention. Sorry if this is a dumb question- but is there a way to get good corn husks for tamales? I have only bought 2 brands, one (Badia) is much better than the other, but over twice the price per ounce. The other brand (giant floor display full around christmas) I couldnt really use half of them because they were tiny slivers or super woody in texture. I dont make them often, so Badia it is for now. Im just wondering if theres a tried and true brand, is there something specific to look for with each pack? Or is this just one of those things you work with what you get?

My Tia tought me this simple recipe before she passed last year. I'm proud to carry on her legacy. Recipe below.

2 parts Beef Tripe (honeycomb or other)

2 parts Beef Feet. (I prefer a shank cut, but some like the Hooves and such)

1 part Beef Tendon

Gently Boil Tendon and Feet with a bunch of green onions, (cebollitas) and whole garlic cloves for 30 minutes.

Add Tripe

Cook till almost tender (about 2 hours)

Add canned Hominy. (the timing for this step varies depending on the pre-"doneness" of canned product used)

Add salt, and Knorr Chicken Bouillon to taste.

Remove green onions from pot

Serve with, Cilantro, Cebolla, limes, Radish, Mexican Oregano, and crushed pepper, (Chiltepin preferably) and the best Corn Tortillas you can find.

Made a bunch of burritos. Feels like I'm missing something. Tried a little bit of whataburger picante sauce and it was just okay. Only other salsa I have rn is a med-hot greenish salsa. But it's all roasted and I don't think that deeper flavor will pair well. I also think straight arbol might be too much.

Idk what do yall do?

Here is the recipe to my orange salsa, I was in the middle of recording when I noticed I didn't hit record. 🤦🏼‍♀️ but here is the rest of the clip, basically you fry everything make sure you add enough oil. Do not add water.

Tallarines verdes acompañado de carne en salsa de champiñones y unos ricos panes con cilantro y ajo 😋

Every summer growing up my family and I would visit my grandparents and extended family in Chicago, who emigrated from Michoacán. My abuelita ( RIP ) made a lot of amazing things, but my favorite was her sopa de letres. So tonight, I decided to call my mom and ask her to walk me through how to make it, and let me tell ya, it’s EXACTLY as I remember it🖤

Gorditas de maiz rellenas de pollo a la mexicana y pollo en verde, primero en comal luego embarradas con manteca de puerco para que queden cruji

This is probably smallest batch of tamales ever made in history! I know it is for me because I usually make like 749;7362893 at a time!

I love living in a Mexican neighborhood so much. I can throw a rock and hit about a dozen taquerias from my apartment, and every single one of them is fantastic.

But nothing beats getting your grocery shopping done and being able to buy a ready to eat dinner on your way out the door without even leaving the building yet.
