Chipotle Flank Steak Tacos with Salsa Verde

by Malcolm Bedell May 6, 2013

If you measure a recipe only in terms of how great the reward is for how little effort, that would make this one of the best taco recipes on our site. It’s proof that you don’t need a billion ingredients or a whole day’s worth of cooking time in order to make some authentic, taqueria-style [...]

Fiesta Chicken Salad

by Jillian Bedell April 30, 2013

Finally. Finally, Finally, Finally. You know how much I like living in Maine. How grateful I am for seasons, especially fall and winter. And what mixed feelings I have about spring; it kind of freaks me out. But, seriously. Thank God. Because FINALLY it is sunny. And warm. Well, warmish. In the low sixties. It’s [...]

How to Make Flour Tortillas

by Jillian Bedell April 10, 2013

Every pueblo in Mexico, no matter how small, has at least one tortilleria. Chelem, the village where we lived, was reduced to a seaside shantytown when it wasn’t tourist season: sandy, hot, windy, strange, barren, and colorful. Our tortilla shop was on the square, a green concrete room with a dirt floor, and ancient ladies [...]

Crispy Rolled Shrimp Tacos with Tomato Broth

by Malcolm Bedell March 26, 2013

Before we continue, let’s get something straight. A soft tortilla folded around some filling is called a “taco,” agreed? And if you roll it up instead of folding it, and then fry it? It’s a taquito. Or does that mean “little taco?” And if so, does that make a plate of small folded tacos, really [...]

Chiles Rellenos con Picadillo (Poblano Chiles Stuffed with Spiced Beef)

by Malcolm Bedell March 8, 2013

When I think of chiles relleno (literally “stuffed chile”), my imagination settles immediately on the image of buckets of molten cheese covering a massive terra cotta plate, still hot from the oven. Because really, isn’t that what most chile relleno is? It’s a thinly-veiled excuse to eat an entire plate full of molten monterey jack [...]

Frijol con Puerco (Pork and Black Bean Stew)

by Malcolm Bedell February 18, 2013

When Jillian and I first moved to Mexico to renovate our small house on the other side of the Gulf of Mexico, we were confronted with an unforeseen problem. The small fishing village that was to become our newly adopted home did not offer internet access. This wasn’t much of a problem for most of [...]

Shredded Turkey Pozole Rojo

by Malcolm Bedell November 27, 2012

Here’s what I always assumed about pozole, the Mexican soup that predates even the arrival of the Spanish in that country: I knew that it was usually made with pork. I knew that it was studded with pozole, corn kernels that have had their hulls removed using lime (the mineral, not the fruit), which absorb [...]

Shredded Turkey Chilaquiles Rojos

by Malcolm Bedell November 23, 2012

When we decided to chuck everything and move to Mexico to buy a house, it wasn’t with a tremendous amount of planning. We arrived with just two suitcases and a two night reservation at the Hyatt in Merida; ample time, our 26 year old minds figured, to learn a new city and find a place [...]

Sunfire Mexican Grill

by Jillian Bedell October 30, 2012

The Sunfire Mexican Grill is a warm, sunny dining room occupying a doublewide storefront in Rockland, bustling at noon on a weekday. It feels like a slightly eclectic abuela’s kitchen with homey touches, tasteful Mexican-themed artwork, and light wood accents. We’re lucky that Rockland has a lot of these really sweet little lunch spots. From [...]

El El Frijoles

by Jillian Bedell September 17, 2012

We drove about 50 miles East this weekend, to have lunch in a barn. On a desolate-feeling peninsula empty of apparent industry or populace, where the treetops are already glowing in oranges and shades of red, and great swaths of field are studded with rock as if the ancient giants are emerging from the mantle, [...]
