Tex Mex

This grown-up mac-and-cheese gets some gusto with its mild heat from chiles and its smattering of—are you sitting?!—crushed tortilla chips in place of bread crumbs.

"I may never use store-bought sauce again." That's what folks are saying about this super simple Tex-Mex standby with a simple salsa verde that's made from scratch. And so worth it.

Taco casserole. Were there ever two words more beautiful side by side?

Pull out your slow cooker and sate yourself with this tender, sweetly spiced, subtly smoky shredded pork. And with nary any effort.

Quick, easy, healthy, crowd pleasing, freezer-friendly morning grub that you can grab and go.

Made in a single pan with so much ease you'll be wanting to make them every night. We dare so you'll hear no complaints.

So lovely you're not even going to notice that they're vegetarian. But your guests will appreciate that fact. And you'll appreciate the taste.

Steak marinated in beer and spices, grilled to juicy magnificence, and piled atop lightly charred tortillas. Beats plain old ground beef tacos, eh?

If you’re not already familiar with the sorta-but-not-too-fiery sauce known as adobo, trust us, you’re going to want to slather it on everything. Even tofu.

Behold warm tortillas piled high with sweet pulled pork, spicy chipotle coleslaw, and tangy barbecue sauce. We bet you can’t stop at one.

Rubbed with spices and grilled rather than battered and fried, these fish tacos are so easy, so healthy, and so something we want to make again and again and again.

Better than any packaged taco kit you'll ever find in any store anywhere. Try them and see for yourself.

This breathtaking bowl of authentic Mexican-inspired magnificence is simple to make yet complex in taste with incredible depth of flavor and a noticeable but not overwhelming ancho heat.

Whoever created this classic American casserole knew a thing or two. Layers of chicken, roasted peppers, and tortillas smothered in cheese. Gobsmackingly delicious.

This easy slow cooker beef chili requires less than half an hour of effort and you'll come home to a meal that tastes like you've been cooking all day.

Okay, so this fish taco isn't exaaaaaactly like what we've experienced in Baja. But it's close. Close enough. Maybe even better.

Call it what you will, this cocktail is equal parts Mexican Bloody Mary, riff on a michelada, and a simple but satisfying tomato beer.

You've had grilled fish tacos. But have you had tipsy fish tacos suffused with tequila? That's what we thought.

You're not going to believe how ridiculously quick and easy it is to toss together this flashy hot pink pickle.

Shredded beef and gooey cheese and a pretty mild sauce. Just 20 minutes in the oven, then compliments all around. Thanks, Homesick Texan.
