What an awesome list! I bookmarked it too so it will be easy to find for Mexican night 🙂 !
I’m making taco meat in the crockpot right now with some ground beef I scored for 5lbs for $8.45 with your taco seasoning. Next week could be a very Mexican week with the meal plan.
Thanks

Great score!

I need some help w/ the refried beans. Mine tend to get very dry if they aren’t consummed immediately. Should more water be left in the pot when mashing them?
Jessica Fisher
You can add water if it gets dry, either cooking liquid, or just plain water. That helps, especially on reheat.

Thanks for all the mexican recipes!! I was wondering if you ever make your own flour tortillas. My family loves them, but when I look at the package ingredient list, I think, “I can’t buy these anymore!” They are filled with preservatives and bad fats! Every single brand of them. My attempts to make my own have not gone over too well with my family. I can find corn tortillas with only three ingredients and I saw you posted a recipe, but my family doesn’t like them as well. What are your thoughts on flour tortillas? Have you ever attempted to make them?
Jessica Fisher
I have tried and not been satisfied with the results. We much prefer corn tortillas homemade, though.
Trader Joe’s has an ingredient list that I like much better than others I’ve found.

Now I’m in the mood for Mexican! Good thing we have leftovers from last night’s tacos for lunch. We LOVE your Mexican rice! It’s a regular thing on our menu rotation. I am inspired to try the poblano chili enchiladas this week. I noticed the sales on the Mexican food ingredients when I ran to the store yesterday. I think I’ll bookmark this page so I have a handy reference of these recipes. Thanks!

You don’t know how hard it was to write this list. I was so hungry. We had tostadas when I was done. 🙂

Wow, this is an extensive collection of Mexican style dishes! I have tried several of your recipes and my husband loved every one. I am inspired to try a few new ones.
We have chicken fajitas about every 2 weeks. That is by far our favorite with all the fixins; guacamole, creamy salsa verde or black bean salsa. We also like taco pizza with a mix of refried beans and enchilada sauce as the base layer. We like a number of copycat recipes from an unmentionable fast food chain. 😉 NACHOS! ‘nough said lol!
Jessica Fisher
All sounds yummy!

You know as I sat in bed last night looking at pinterest recipes after an evening of being ‘challenged’ by my 14yo son LOL, I was hit with the complete assurance that I must make a mexican feast for Mother’s Day [I host our families]. I won’t say that came from the place of ‘I don’t make enough mexican food because 14yo son doesn’t care for it’ but whatever it is – that’s what I’m going to do – thanks for the immediate inspiration today!

This cracks me up. Retribution via meal planning. 🙂
