About the Author: Malcolm Bedell
My first memories of cooking start in Maine at six years old, when I wore a yellow rainslicker to avoid getting spattered by the bacon I was frying in a skillet. My interest in both Mexican cooking and recreating classic New England dishes from scratch developed while living in Mexico, on a steady diet of pork and habanero peppers. You can see more of my writing and photography online on Serious Eats, the Huffington Post, BlogHer, and Foodista, as well as in print for Downeast, Indulge, and Cigar Snob magazines.

We don’t really celebrate the Cinco de Mayo in Mexico, but it’s a nice recipe roundup
Nope…it’s definitely an American holiday.
Though I have to say that all of those tacos make me want to throw a taquiza together. Ingredient hunting shall begin!
