Easy, healthy recipes with a southwestern flare
This is my favorite breakfast! A red chile paste, cheese and fried egg cooked between corn or flour tortillas. This makes a quick and easy breakfast for any day of the week.
A spicy hot sauce to add to soups, stews, sandwiches or whatever your stomach desires. I love several dashes on top of fried eggs.
A very hearty and healthy vegetarian meal that will please even the biggest carnivore. This can be a complex dish because it has several components, each of which can be made from scratch or bought.
This recipe and process is similar to making regular corn tortillas. The main difference is that some of the water has been substituted with red chile sauce. For an exciting treat use hot chile and then serve these with a drizzle of honey. So good!
Chicken braised in a chicken mole sauce made from many ingredients that include New Mexico red chiles, spices and herbs, nuts and a bit of chocolate.
Red Chile Cheese Tamales are a mix of spicy red chiles, onion, garlic, and cheese which yields a savory, sweet and spicy flavor, and makes a truly killer tamale.
This Yellow Squash with Red Peppers is one of the easiest sides you’ll ever make. This dish is just yellow squash sauteed in garlic oil with some onion and red peppers.
This Tomato Red Chile Jam has been my favorite sweet and savory jam for several years now. It’s a small batch jam with no pectin. It’s just tomatoes, New Mexico red chile, lemon and sugar.
The sweet corn of summer – YUM! This grilled corn is prepared with a drizzle of olive oil and a generous dusting of my red chile spice blend. The spices roast along with the corn yielding a spicy and smoky flavor.
