Mexican food—by which most of us mean Tex-Mex—is a favorite from Los Angeles to New York and everywhere in between. And the heart of great Tex-Mex cooking comes from home kitchens along the Rio Grande. In THE ENCHILADA QUEEN COOKBOOK, Sylvia Casares gives you the best of the best, including tricks and simple techniques to turn any dish from appetizing to amazing. You’ll learn how to make her Holy Trinity spice paste; why you should use certain key shortcuts, such as chicken bouillon, in some dishes; and how to do her tortilla-changing Texas Two-Step marinating technique. And after you’ve picked your favorites from her 14 key sauces, you’ll make unbelievable food for a family or a crowd, including:
Cheese Enchiladas with Chili Gravy
Spinach Enchiladas with Salsa Verde
Shrimp Enchiladas with Salsa Veracruzano
Stewed Chicken Breast Enchiladas with Salsa Mole
And the Enchilada Queen is an expert in more than just enchiladas. Here you’ll find appetizers, sides, breakfasts and desserts, such as:
Guacamole and Picamole
Kitchen Nachos
Gulf Coast Fish Tacos
Frontera Beef Fajitas
La Fonda Tortilla Soup
Arroz con Pollo
Huevos Rancheros
Refried Beans
Tamales with a variety of fillings
Sopapillas, Polvorones and Bunuelos
The Perfect Margarita’s here too, and so much more. In The Enchilada Queen Cookbook, you’ll get kitchen wisdom from a lifetime of learning recipes from madres and abuelas who make food specific to their border towns on the Rio Grande. You’ll also get a resource for hundreds of family dinners—and a party between covers!
