Game Day Nachos
Here is a heavily-loaded platter of shredded pork inflected with the flavors of cumin, coriander and lime, layered with tortilla chips and sliced radishes, flecks of scallion and leaves of cilantro, drifts of shredded cheddar and lime-scented sour cream, to be accompanied by hot sauce, napkins and beer. It is football-watching food, but doubles nicely as dinner for teens, young adults, anyone interested in the inhaling of the delicious. The pork is an all-day affair, requiring five to seven hours of roasting in a low oven so that the meat achieves a collapsing sweetness beneath a burnished crust. But the rest of the recipe is easy work indeed: bowls of the condiments may be combined on a platter with the shredded meat and diced skin in any manner you deem appetizing.
Spicy Lentil and Sweet Potato Stew With Chipotles
The sweetness of the sweet potatoes infuses this Mexican-inspired lentil dish along with the heat of the chipotles, which also have a certain sweetness as well because of the adobo sauce they’re they are packed in. The combination, with the savory lentils, is a winner.

Prietoni
There’s a negroni craze out there in cocktail land. This variation, with raicilla replacing gin, takes the classic in a new, slightly more earthy direction. If you prefer a slice of orange as the garnish instead of a twist of peel, go right ahead.
Matador Norteño
A splash of pineapple juice fine-tuned with some lemon brightens sotol, a spirit with yeasty character and chamomile flavor. Pineapple is a reliable ingredient for most Mexican spirits. The drink is easy to assemble and the recipe can be doubled or even increased to a pitcherful for a party. If you plan on including agave drinks in your repertory, it pays to have agave syrup on hand for the most felicitous sweetener.
