Serrano Chile Salsa Verde recipe - lacocinadeleslie.com

This vibrant and spicy salsa verde--made with fresh tomatillos, serrano chiles, onion, garlic, and cilantro--was one of the first salsas I learned to make as a newlywed. And it is one of my favorite salsas that I always have in my fridge. Seriously, if you were to take a peek inside my fridge you would see that I have at least 5 different brands of bottled hot sauce, as well as an assortment of homemade salsas including my Salsa Macha (oil-based salsa made with chile de árbol and garlic), Chile de Molcajete (roasted tomatillo & árbol chile salsa), Mild Salsa Verde, Mild Tomato Salsa, and this Spicy Serrano Chile Salsa Verde. (Just to name a few.)

This hard-to-resist salsa can be served with just about anything. I love to serve it over quesadillas, tacos, and tostadas. You can stir it into soups or your favorite guisados like Nopales en Salsa Verde. Use it to make Salsa Verde Chilaquiles or Enchiladas. Or serve this deliciousness on it's own with a basket of homemade totopos (tortilla chips) and/or pork rinds. The possibilities are endless! Once you try this traditional Mexican salsa verde, you'll find yourself wanting to put it on absolutely everything.

These spicy serrano chiles sauteed with onion, garlic, lime juice, and jugo Maggi are perfect for spicing up your next taquiza (taco party) or cookout with family and friends.

Chiles Toreados - lacocinadeleslie.com

Chiles toreados is a spicy and delicious garnish for tacos, fajitas, and/or grilled meats made with fresh serrano chiles. Every evening, our friendly neighborhood taquero (who also happens to be my hubby's uncle) fires up his plancha (griddle) and immediately begins to saute sliced onions and serrano chiles in a little manteca (lard). The tantalizing aroma permeates throughout the neighborhood, letting everyone know that the taquería (taco stand) is open for business.

Sauteed Serrano Chiles Toreados - lacocinadeleslie.com

Traditionally chiles toreados are made with serrano chiles, but you can also make them with chiles güeros or jalapeños. And if you are unable to find Jugo Maggi Seasoning Sauce, soy sauce is a perfectly acceptable substitute.


Yield: 6 to 8 servings

A Michelada is a flavorful Mexican cocktail made with beer, Clamato (tomato juice with clam juice), and various seasoning like salt, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce and your favorite bottled hot sauce.



Michelada Mexicana - lacocinadeleslie.com

To paraphrase the most interesting man in the world... I don't always drink beer, but when I do it's in an ice-cold, spicy Classic Mexican Michelada. Micheladas are a popular beer cocktail often referred to as the Mexican Bloody Mary. (Although I prefer my Bloody Marías with tequila.) The classic Michelada is made with light or dark Mexican beer, Clamato, and a variety of seasonings and spices.

Crispy taquitos filled with sauteed flor de jamaica (hibiscus flower) and queso fresco topped with lettuce and pickled red onions are a delicious meatless option perfect for Lent.


Hibiscus Flower Taquitos - lacocinadeleslie.com

J is for Jamaica, as in flor de jamaica, which is Spanish for hibiscus flower. Dried hibiscus flowers are used to make one of Mexico's most popular aguas frescas: Agua de Jamaica. Many people make the mistake of tossing out the rehydrated flowers once the agua fresca is made, which is a huge mistake. Rehydrated flor de jamaica is totally edible and can be used as a filling for tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, and empanadas.

Traditional Mexican Picadillo made with ground beef and vegetables in a ancho and guajillo chile broth.


Ground Beef Picadillo - lacocinadeleslie.com

Continuing on with the A to Z Recipe Challenge, G is for ground beef. When I think of ground beef, the first thing that pops into my head is Pappy's Picadillo. Pappy's ground beef picadillo was part of our regular weekly dinner rotation when I was growing up, although he'd switch up the ingredients every now and then.

How to Make Mexican Discada - lacocinadeleslie.com

Continuing with my A to Z Recipe Challenge, today's recipe is brought to you by the letter D and this Discada Norteña. Discadas are a meat lover's dream made with a little bit of everything from bacon to spicy Mexican chorizo to steak, pork chops, ham, and hot dogs. There are also a few veggies like onion, bell pepper, serrano chiles, tomato, and garlic added to the mix. And to finish it all off we add Mexican beer and Clamato, with a splash of Worcestershire sauce and Jugo Maggi (a seasoning sauce also used to make Micheladas).

Cebollas Encurtidas is a popular garnish for tacos and tortas (sandwiches) made with sweet red onion, tart lime juice, and spicy serrano chiles.


Cebollas Encurtidas con Limón - lacocinadeleslie.com

C is for cebollas encurtidas. Certain dishes require a particular garnish or topping. Such is the case with Cebollas Encurtidas (pickled onions). I can't imagine eating Tacos de Carnitas or a Torta Ahogada or Cochinita Pibil without a generous helping of pickled red onions on top. Recipes for Cebollas Encurtidas can vary from family to family. Our family's recipe is pretty simple as it only requires four ingredients, including salt. If you're not big on spicy food, feel free to omit the serrano chiles. Of if you prefer something spicier, substitute a fresh habanero pepper for the serrano chiles.
