Mexican food...

Marker · May 6, 2022

Not sure how I missed this thread before! Just made a batch of Pico de Gallo to use tonight in the Guacamole and marinated shrimp for appetizers. Main course will be pork ribs in Ancho orange sauce with Mexican rice and zucchini salad.

My wife learned her Margarita recipe back in college from a bartender friend and it is very similar to yours except the sweetener is just about half a part of orange juice. Despite it's superior flavor, one problem with Cointreau compared to Triple Sec is the much higher proof, but that just sends you to Margaritaville a little faster!

I might have already posted this, but is my son's simple margarita rocks recipe, and trust me, it will be the best margarita on the rocks you ever had. For parts you can use a shot glass, or any bigger glass, so very easy to scale..

What about sugar, sweetner? Most margarita mixes ("sweet & sour") combines lime/sweetener, this stuff is terrible btw.

No mixers. Tequila, Contreau and Lime juice. Oh, and salt.

I think I already said I both love and hate this thread.

FWIW, I believe Mexican limes are more akin to Key limes and sweeter than our hard green grocery store limes. A splash of orange juice helps to recreate that citrus flavor and not a mixer.

@Tex -- Does the master chef have a barbacoa recipe he'd be willing to share?

Thanks, @Tex. That's some serious cooking. I'll try it sometime when my neighbors are back to help eat it.

I knew he had some videos, but I didn't know had an actual recipe in one. I didn't even see the recipe untill I posted it on here. He must have read the give-me-the-recipe-bitch thread. :roflmao:

One of my good customers planted what she thought were jalapeños but turned out to be habaneros which are way too hot for her taste so she gave them to me. I plan on making a batch of turkey chili where I'll use a few but I'm not sure what to do with the rest of them so I'm looking for suggestions.

Fermented chili pepper hot sauce. I just made a batch with some hot peppers I grew in my garden this season. Sugar Rush Peach peppers ( a little hotter than Jalapeno) , Orange Spice Jalapeno, and some habaneros, and shishitos. I put in some sweet bell peppers for balance. Super easy. Here's the recipe:

A few years back I had a red habenero chili pepper plant. The plant was beautiful and those suckers were hot! I used them to make a special salsa I found in one of Diane Kennedy's Mexican cookbooks. Since I could not use them all that quickly, I froze them and would pull a few out when needed. They lasted me a few years until my freezer failed and I lost the rest. Since these are green I'm not sure it would work as well.

They might turn red/orange. if @Ogg wants that he should get then out of the plastic bag and put them in a paper bag or a cardboard box that has a lid, and put in the bag/box some ripe peppers with them. They should ripen within a week or so.
