Good Mexican recipes that don’t take a large amount of ingredients and skill?
My girlfriend and I are finding ourselves in a rut with what we eat every week, seems like were on the same 6-7 meals because they’re easy and dont take a lot of time to devote to them.
We like Mexican food so I thought I’d ask you guys for recipes that have the following criteria: A) Must not take ingredients that I cant run out to my local grocery and grab up. Example: Ground apricots seeds of the northern most mountain in Tibet. B) Doesnt have a lot of prep work that will take us hours to complete and even longer to actually cook and clean up after.
So any help is majorly appreciated. If you have a great recipe, then lay it on me.
I found this simple recipe below that taste great but I also wanted to let you in on something. It is so true that Mexican food is based around its salsas. There are so many of them, and really you can never go wrong once you get the hang of making a good salsa. Then just add to your meats, veggies, and even fruits. I have lived in Mexico for 4 years now and my kitchen at all times includes tomatoes, chili, onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, tortillas, beans, and what ever meat or veggie I want for the week. With those simple ingredients you can make any authentic Mexican dish that you desire, its all in the preparation and of course the salsa.
