Grilled Steak Tacos With Cherry Tomato-Avocado Salsa

In this supremely summery taco recipe, chile-rubbed grilled steak is topped with a spicy tomato-avocado salsa before being rolled into warm corn tortillas. Grilling the onions, garlic and jalapeño for the salsa adds a concentrated sweetness, while lime zest keeps everything sharp and bright. If you don’t have access to a grill, feel free to use your broiler.

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.

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.

Makes 6 small burritos or 2-3 large burritos which will serve 1 very hungry to 3 not so hungry

Tortilla Soup With Roasted Cauliflower 'Rice'

This is not exactly authentic, but I wanted to add a vegetable to my tortilla soup, to make it more of a dinner in a bowl, so I decided to shave cauliflower, toss the ricelike pieces with oil and chili powder, and roast it. I loved the addition of the spicy roasted cauliflower to each bowl of soup, along with the tortilla crisps that I toasted in the microwave rather than frying. You can make this soup even more substantial by adding eggs (see the variation that follows the recipe).
