Mangonada
When the summer sun screams across Mexico’s city streets and sandy beaches, mangonadas come to the rescue. Also called chamangos, they can be made with any combination of mango sorbet, chopped fresh mango or mango purée, and may or may not be spiked, but they’ll always contain the salty, spicy and tangy flavors of Tajín and chamoy. Tajín, a chile-lime salt, is a delicious addition to sweet and savory foods alike. Its sister condiment, chamoy, is traditionally made from fermented fruit, salt, sugar and chiles. Depending on your location, you can find Tajín, chamoy and tamarind straws — their sour, chewy coating adds an extra tickle of tartness — at supermarkets or Latin American grocers; all three are available online.

Migas Breakfast Tacos
Tortilla chips in tacos may seem like overkill, but they’re not. Set into scrambled eggs that are loaded with onions and poblanos, they soften and enrich the mix while keeping some crispiness. A slice of avocado on top — along with melted cheese — adds a nice creaminess to the mix. These tacos work well with red or green salsa, so use your favorite. While these would impress at a weekend brunch, they also come together quickly on weekday mornings, and can be wrapped in foil to be eaten out of hand.

Easy citrus marinated skirt steak recipe that I use to make delicious fajitas at home. The marinade makes these skirt steaks tender, juicy, and flavorful.

The Norcal recipe: A simple, refreshing take on a classic Margarita. This drink is a cult favorite in Paleo and Crossfit circles, but everyone will love it!
Watermelon Margarita Granita
This recipe was a happy accident. I had originally intended to make a sorbet. But, due to the unfortunate combination of high sugar and alcohol content, it refused to freeze in my ice cream machine. So I poured the whole thing in a pan and let it freeze, granita style. And, in the end, it's simply delicious!
Minted tomatillo salsa
This recipe is a simplification of a recipe published by Sue Torres in The New Greenmarket cookbook. When I ran across the recipe I was intrigued by putting mint in tomatillo salsa. Mint and tomatillo are a fresh and delicious combination. My method and ingredients are different that Sue Torres', but the flavor combination was inspired by her. I roast the tomatillos and keep it ultra simple, just tomatillos and mint. This salsa is delicious on chicken tacos.
Scrambled Egg Tacos With Avocado
I make these scrambled egg tacos late and often—this is my back-pocket 10-minute recipe after a very long day or a longer party. The avocado is delicious.
Acorn Squash Burritos
When making a burrito, the quality of the tortilla is important. We get ours at the tortilla factory a couple blocks away--it's a small family owned restaurant, but of course most people aren't that luck, and there are those nights when we don't plan ahead and have to use tortillas from the grocery store. The end result is also affected by the quality of the salsa; use your favorite, homemade if possible. This isn't so much a recipe as a fortunate combination that came about with leftovers (the squash and seeds were already roasted and the salsa made) and a need for lunch.
