Breakfast Tacos con Chicharron

by Malcolm Bedell February 20, 2012

I‘ve had a nearly insatiable craving for habanero peppers lately. I’ve been mixing up quick-pickled habanero to ladle onto leftover pot roast nachos. I’ve been spiking my canned Chunky soup with overly-aggressive shakes of Cholula. I’ve been adding green El Yucateco in dangerous quantities to jarred salsa, and then running around the house carrying on [...]

Crispy Fried Shrimp Tacos with Ancho Chile Tartar Sauce

by Malcolm Bedell February 7, 2012

This recipe is a bit of a bastardization of a food that I already associate more with California than I do with Mexico. Instead of using a flaky fried fish, as you would in a Baja-style fish taco, I substituted in golden fried shrimp, battered in a dark beer batter that puffs up super light [...]

Chile Verde (Green Chili with Pork)

by Malcolm Bedell January 18, 2012

Have you heard about how newborn babies can throw your routine into a bit of an upheaval? I’m pretty sure it’s a thing. For our first week home, I wanted to whip up a dish that we could eat all week, without burning a lot of thought or energy on preparation. A giant plastic container [...]

Shredded Turkey Sopecitos (Sopecitos de Pavo Yucateco)

by Malcolm Bedell November 28, 2011

Invented in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, but now found throughout Mexico, sopes are similar to corn tortillas, but somewhat thicker, with a hand-shaped lip around the outer edge. They are fried in oil until their shape holds, getting marvelously crispy on the outside, while staying hot and fluffy on the inside. My first experience [...]

El Camino Restaurant

by Malcolm Bedell November 18, 2011

Our first attempt at going to El Camino was a bit of a bust. Walking through the heavy door directly into the middle of a bustling bar scene on a Saturday night was not at all what we expected from this restaurant, tucked away on a side street in Brunswick. The restaurant is divided into [...]

Pipian Verde (Shredded Chicken with Green Mole)

by Malcolm Bedell November 1, 2011

When we first moved to Mexico, we had no plan, after our first two nights staying in a hotel in Merida. We’d be able to find a more permanent place to live, we thought, and two days seemed like plenty of time to square that away. We moved to an apartment in a long-term residential [...]

Chile Relleno

by Jillian Bedell October 5, 2011

Deep Fried Cheese. Are there three better words in the English language? It’s so tidy, yet so infinite. Five years ago I moved to Mexico not really interested in Mexican food. All I had really known was the New England version of TexMex as served at Margaritas and Su Casa on the Post Road in [...]

Granny’s Burritos

by Malcolm Bedell September 28, 2011

I’m probably one of the few people in the area that doesn’t have a Granny’s Burrito-related anecdote. The fact is, I never ate at one of the original Granny’s locations, which first set up shop in 1995. Granny’s would hop around town several times, including locations in the Old Port, downtown, and flung out towards [...]

Frijoles Charros

by Malcolm Bedell September 20, 2011

On the Prolognacion de Montejo, a street streaking through a busy commercial district in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, you’ll find a restaurant called “Los Taquitos de PM.” I lived nearby for several years before trying it, because it never seemed like it was in business, with no windows, and doorways covered by big, heavy pull-down metal [...]

Taco Escobarr

by Malcolm Bedell September 16, 2011

On the way to the restaurant, I realized that I was harboring a few preconceived notions about Taco Escobarr, the new, slick taco place on Congress Street in Portland, recently opened by NOSH Kitchen Bar owners Matt Moran, Jason Loring, and Tom Barr. I realized, too, that these preconceptions weren’t altogether positive. Since the newest [...]
