Cinco de Mayo

Sweet, smoky, and spicy all at once thanks to charred tomatoes and onions and chipotle in adobo. The quintessential salsa for dunking, dipping, and dabbling.

This Mexican spaghetti, or sopa seca de fideo, is mindblowingly seductive and authentic as heck. Translated literally, it means "dry soup with noodles," and it's soooo much better than it sounds.

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.

More tart than sweet is what you'll find this perfectly puckery little limeade to be. And that's exactly the way it was always intended to be.

Seriously the best seven layer dip we've ever had. Swear. And it comes together in minutes with using the oven. Summer supper, anyone?

This Mexican staple is easy as can be to make—and even easier to strew on practically anything you can think to eat.

Translation? A spectacularly satisfying and soupy stewy dish made with green chiles and chicken that takes just an hour (!) yet tastes authentic as heck.

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.

Just like the tart, creamy, slightly soupy condiment you find in Mexico City’s incredible taquerias. Pass the tacos, por favor.

A little pile of tasty meat cushioned by a warm tortilla and electrified by a little salsa. Life is good.

Blue as the blue lagoon, this conversation-starting cocktail tastes as stunning as it looks. Blue margarita magic.

Despite this recipe having a cheater-like approach with a surprisingly short ingredient list and no waiting all day for it to be done, it tastes remarkably like the real deal. Swear.

Soft. Supple. Ever so slightly smoky. And frugal thanks to grandma's trick of saving the fat from breakfast bacon. One taste and you'll understand our obsession.

Easy. Effing awesome. That's what we think of this Mexican classic, whether for everyday or entertaining.

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

Almost as good as cramming tacos from a street cart in your piehole late at night with pork juice dripping from your elbow.

Got chile sauce? Corn tortillas? Cheese? Sour Cream? Limes? Fantastic. Then you've got the makings for some of the easiest enchiladas ever.

An insanely satiating comfort food fix that's as quick and easy as it is inexpensive. Refried beans and cheese atop toast with pico de gallo. Wish we'd known about this a loooong time ago.
