cinco de mayo

Breakfast Burrito

canola oil

red onion, diced (1 cup)

red bell pepper,

drained, rinsed canned black beans, preferably low-sodium

chili flakes

Salt and black pepper

eggs egg

(about 1 1/2 ounce) shredded pepper Jack cheese

Nonstick cooking spray

(10 inch) whole wheat tortillas (burrito size)

reduced fat-free sour cream

salsa

tomato, (4 ounces) seeded and diced

avocado (4 ounces), cubed

Hot sauce

Chorizo Quesadillas

(12-inch) flour tortillas

Monterey pepper Jack or smoked Cheddar

chorizo

scallions, chopped

plum tomatoes,

jalapeno,

white onion, finely chopped

salt

Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle pan to high heat. Blister a flour tortilla for 20 seconds, flip. Cover half the tortilla surface with shredded cheese, bits of chorizo or andouille, and chopped scallions. Fold the tortilla in half and cook a minute longer, 30 seconds on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula. Cut quesadillas into 4 wedges and top with salsa. 

For salsa, combine ingredients in a small bowl and spoon over wedges of quesadilla, as you snack.

I really enjoyed the recipe. However, I wished that I know the difference between soft and hard chorizo. This recipe calls for hard chorizo. If you have soft chorizo. Cook the chorizo in a frying pan before including it into the recipe. Also the salsa is so simple and amazing that I’m leaving it in my favorite salsa recipes.

I have made chorizo quesadillas for years. We are from Mexico, and have decided that Americans overload their recipes with too many ingredients they do not need. It makes the food lose it's authentic flavor, and is no longer any good. This recipe calls for things that do not go into a chorizo quesadilla. It complicates the recipe, and makes it less enjoyable. This does not compare to the real deal!

so easy and kids loved it too quick dinner idea even good for lunch

These were a hit at my house. My husband isn't a big fan of chorizo, but he liked them. He also liked them when I substituted the chorizo for chicken.

the sausage was a little odd inside a cheese quesadilla, but it was ok.

I altered your wonderful recipe by adding some refried beans and baking the both of the filled tortillas at 375 for 15 minutes.  I think I may have baked them for too long (ten minutes probably works better) but the results were just as good.  Your recipe is great and will be used again for sure.

I absolutely LOVE chorizo, but it totally overpowered everything.  Much, much too strong.

My family loved these-even my picky 3 year old! I served with fresh guacamole. This is such a great QUICK meal with wonderful flavors.

This was the hit of my Super Bowl party. It takes no time to make and it can be adapted for your guests tastes and in my case, allergies. My guests loved them, and so did I.

This Loaded Taco Bake Is Layered With Cheesy Goodness

Filled with sausage, eggs, cheese and fresh avocado salsa, these bodega-style breakfast burritos are delish any time of day!

Breakfast Burritos 

small shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)

jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced

lime lime

cumin

cilantro

eggs

smoked paprika

sausage

(6 oz) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

(10-in) burrito-size flour tortillas

Vegetable oil

Make the Avocado-Tomato Salsa: Place all of the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the smoked paprika and salt. Set aside.

Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage from the pan to a plate, leaving the drippings in the  pan. Reduce the heat to low. Add the eggs and scramble until just cooked through. Transfer the eggs to a plate. Clean the pan (you'll use it again).

Assemble the burritos: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the avocado-salsa onto each tortilla (you'll have a little leftover salsa; that's for the cook!), followed by a quarter of the sausage, a quarter of the eggs, and 1/3 cup cheese. Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll, tucking in the edges as you go. 

Lightly coat the pan with oil and set over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the burritos, seam side down. Cook, covered, until the bottom of the burritos are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the burritos over and continue cooking, covered, until golden, a few minutes more. Serve warm.

Make Ahead: The burritos may be assembled a few hours ahead of time, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerated, before cooking. 

To reheat leftover burritos, wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for about 15 minutes. (They won't be as crisp as they are fresh out of the pan, but they reheat well.)

Diana Kennedy, the doyenne of Mexican cooking, has documented that country's technique for simmering one-pot meals from short-grain rice. Her recipe is a basic spice dish, endlessly amenable to different ingredients and moods.

Mexican Rice

rice

onion

vegetable oil

chicken broth,

salt, plus more to taste

carrot,

peas zucchini, optional

chicken giblets, optional

Soak rice in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water and drain well. Place tomatoes, onion and garlic in a blender. Puree until smooth. Set aside.

Heat oil in a medium-large, heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Add rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until rice turns a light golden color, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree. Cook for 8 minutes, frequently scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.

Stir in broth, salt and vegetables and giblets, if using. Cook, uncovered, until all the broth has been absorbed and air holes appear on the surface of the rice, about 20 minutes. Turn heat to very low. Cover the pot with a towel. Continue cooking for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve.

Turkey Tacos

turkey meat (light meat)

poblano pepper,

zucchini,

medium Vidalia onion, finely chopped

chili powder

paprika

salt and black pepper

plum tomato, chopped

chicken stock

taco shells

iceberg lettuce

Cheddar

avocado

plum tomatoes

radishes

Sour cream

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook, while stirring and breaking up the meat with the back of a wooden spoon, until browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in the peppers, zucchini and onions, and saute until the veggies have started to soften, about 5 minutes more. Sprinkle the meat with the chili powder, cumin and paprika and give a good seasoning of salt and pepper; cook until fragrant. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes have broken down and are soft, about 2 minutes more. Add the chicken broth and simmer lightly until the sauce is thickened and all the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.

Add 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil to a small bowl and season with a pinch of salt. Lightly brush both sides of the tortilla shells with the olive oil. Carefully place each tortilla shell over two bars of the oven rack. Bake until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the shells with tongs after they are baked.

Serve the warm taco shells filled with the turkey veggie filling and topped with lettuce, cheese, avocado, tomatoes, radishes and sour cream.

I love this recipe! I have been making it like this since I saw the 1st show. It can be modified to you liking. I love spicy but since I was also making it for kids I toned it down a notch. I also shred the zucchini since kids like to pick out green things. Once I know they like it I tell them what is in it and you would be surprised at what they will eat next! Thanks for the great recipes Jamie!

Added a few other spices (coriander, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano) and used a half can of diced tomatoes. My husband and daughter loved it!

This recipe is great!  I did not have poblano peppers on hand, so I diced up green, orange, red bell peppers and also 1 jalapeno.  The flavors were fantastic!  I also loved the idea of toasting the tortillas in the oven...a healthy alternative to frying :) Thank you Jamie, I really like your show!

I simplified the recipe to season the turkey meat only (didn't include the vegetables in the actual meat recipe) and substituted cumin for ground coriander seeds, but the turkey meat turned out very flavorful, especially considering how quick it was to make it.

We loved the Tacos, I did add some chile flakes and a teaspoon of cayenne pepper because we like our tacos spicy.  I did not have zucchini so I used crook neck.  Not slime at all.  Will make this taco recipe from now on.

this was delicious.  and, even more the next day as a healthy "hash", underneath an over-easy egg : )  will make this again.

this was surpising so good n healthy. my husband thought that only beef would make a good tacos well he was amazed by these tacos. i add one red potatoe n salsa instead of sour cream

The vegetables in this salsa recipe are roasted, intensifying the flavor of the tomatoes, mellowing the onions and garlic, and adding a touch of smokiness.

Restaurant-Style Salsa Recipe

tomatoes,

yellow onions,

serrano chili peppers, stemmed (use less

cilantro leaves

lime juice,

Preheat the broiler and set an oven rack about 5 inches beneath the heating element. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. 

Place the tomatoes, onions, garlic, whole serrano chile peppers and vegetable oil directly on the prepared baking sheet and toss with your hands. Broil until softened and charred, 10-15 minutes. 

Transfer the vegetables and juices to a food processor fitted with the metal blade. (Note: This is a spicy salsa recipe. If you are concerned about the level of heat, add only one Serrano pepper at this point. You can always blend the others in to taste.) Add the salt and cumin and pulse until just slightly chunky. (If you left out some of the chili peppers, now's the time to taste and add more.) Add the cilantro and fresh lime juice, and pulse until the cilantro is chopped. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and more lime juice if necessary. Be sure to add enough salt and lime to bring out all the flavors. Transfer to a bowl and serve warm, at room temperature, or slightly chilled. 

<strong>Make-Ahead Instructions:</strong> The salsa can be made two days ahead of time; store in a covered container in the refrigerator. 

<strong>Note:</strong> This recipe is not meant for canning.

Mexican Chicken Soup

Good olive oil

onions (2 onions)

celery (2 stalks)

carrots (4 carrots)

garlic, chopped

chicken stock,

jalapeno

coriander seed

cilantro leaves, optional

(6-inch) white corn tortillas

For serving: sliced avocado, sour cream, grated Cheddar cheese, and tortilla chips

Place the chicken breasts skin side up on a sheet pan. Rub with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until done. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones, and shred the meat. Cover and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the onions, celery, and carrots and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onions start to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes with their puree, jalapenos, cumin, coriander, 1 tablespoon salt (depending on the saltiness of the chicken stock), 1 teaspoon pepper, and the cilantro, if using. Cut the tortillas in 1/2, then cut them crosswise into 1/2-inch strips and add to the soup. Bring the soup to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Add the shredded chicken and season to taste. Serve the soup hot topped with sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, grated Cheddar cheese, and broken tortilla chips.

This is a simple, and very delicious recipe for tortilla soup. My husband and son love it. Being that my husband is Mexican, it is difficult to please his spoiled taste buds from his Mother’s cooking. This soup nails it on the head! I usually just pan fry the breasts.  Such a great recipe that is requested again and again. You can make it as spicy as you wish by adding or deleting the jalepeños. Last fo around I used one large Jalepeño with seeds and it was perfect! The tortillas will absorb some of the heat from the pepper so it ends with a perfect heat in the back of your throat and not overbearing. Love this recipe 

I have made this for group gatherings. Received rave reviews about how great it was every time!
I like that you can add a much or as little spice as you want, because no matter what, it still tastes great!
The avocado is the perfect topper!

Ina Garten is a cooking genius, but I have to disagree regarding the chicken. I've found that browning pieces of chicken (thighs are good) in the bottom of my cast iron soup pot imparts a richer flavor. I simply put in some olive oil, brown the pieces of chicken -- skin and all -- then add the rest of the ingredients. Before serving I take out the chicken and let it cool enough to remove the bones. I always leave the skin on the chicken. Guests can removed the browned skin when eating, but it's usually nothing but caramelized nuggets of chicking goodness by then. The bones and skin impart more flavor and a much more satisfactory chicken taste. 

I have made this twice now and I have changed some ingredients and the way I do the tortillas.<div>I make my tortilla by scratch and add it in dough balls while the soup cooks. It's so delicious! Everyone who eats it falls in LOVE.</div>

-Made the soup and roasted the chicken the night before serving. Heated the soup and assembled it about an hour before serving. It is a beautiful, delicious, refined flavor that’s worth the time to make. 

This is an excellent Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe! My husband thought it was restaurant quality and so did I. I made a few tweaked here and there. In the beginning I browned the chicken breast on both sides for about 5 minutes, in the pot I was going to make the soup in. I then transferred the chicken to a dish and finished cooking it in the oven. I also used regular diced tomatoes in their juices. Lastly, I added black beans, corn, and a corn puree, 2 cups frozen corn and 2 cups chicken stock. It was so yummy!!!

Just like all other reviews, this recipe hits the mark on so many levels.  Score this one as 11 on a 10 point scale!!!

Without a doubt my favorite soup.  I don’t use the tortilla shells, but keep everything else the same.  Freezes very well, so make extra.  

This is my favorite soup recipe.  The best flavors and you can add different ingredients if you like to mix things up but I follow the recipe as is. Perfect once again Ina.   

This is my second time making this soup and it is comfort in a bowl with a kick! Tailor the jalapeño and cilantro to suit yourself. The tortillas make it authentico!

"You can drink a mojito without really thinking about it, and that's a pretty good recommendation for a summer cocktail," William Hamilton wrote in a 2002 article about the cocktail and its increase in popularity in the United States. The mojito originated in Cuba as a farmers' drink in the late 19th century as Cuba's rum industry modernized, making the mojito as common as beer. Only the rich drank it with ice and soda. This version is straightforward and simply perfect for a hot day. Muddle a handful of fresh mint leaves and some lime juice in the bottom of a glass. Then add rum, sugar, ice and a bit of club soda. Shake and serve.

Mojito

mint leaves, torn

lime juice

white rum

sugar

club soda

Muddle (crush with a pestle) the mint with the lime juice in the bottom of a tall cocktail glass.

Add the rum, sugar, crushed ice and soda. Cover and shake, and uncover, serving with a lime wedge.

Tequila, lime, a touch of orange: the Margarita is a perfect mixture, with or without salt.
