This Pinot Noir makes an ideal companion to my Chicken Tinga taco recipe. Chicken Tinga is a Mexican dish from Puebla made from shredded chicken cooked in a smoky tomato sauce. Because of the rich spices used in this dish like cumin, tomatoes and chipotle peppers, you want to make sure you choose a wine that is medium bodied, dry, oaked with high acidity to balance out the flavors.
Let me be extremely honest, this was the most difficult wine pairing I've done. I tasted a large variety of wines including a German Riesling, a Tempranillo, a Cava, a Rioja, a Grüner Veltliner and even a Sauvignon Blanc till I found the right one.
New Zealand produces some of the best Sauvignon Blancs in the world. In this post I share the perfect halibut fish taco recipe for a mouthwatering explosion of citrus flavors.
Can you pair wine with tacos? Decoy Pinot Noir is one of my favorite wines to pair with food. From its enticing bouquet to its layers of lush, pure fruit, this wine captures the vibrant charm of great California Pinot Noir.
Carnitas, is a dish of Mexican cuisine that originated in the state of Michoacán. Carnitas are tender and juicy on the inside, while crisp and golden on the edges. This simple recipe will be a hit on your next taco night!
This week I decided to switch up my usual halibut fish taco recipe so that I could incorporate some extra veggies. And guess what? The boys and Alex loved them!
With a simple spice rub and a few delicious toppings, these chicken tacos are a tasty and an easy go-to weeknight meal.
This summer may be a bit different from past summers, okay a lot different... LOL. Summer during COVID-19 hasn't been the traditional summer vacations, backyard barbecues with friends, summer concerts or late night dinners in beautiful restaurants. Adjusting to our new "normal" as we continue to social distance, has been challenging for many us. As we begin to slowly reopen restaurants, gyms, parks, hiking trails and beaches we must still be cautious for everyone’s safety. Even though 2020 has been a bummer, with canceled graduations, events, conferences, sports and so on, it doesn't mean you can't have fun with your family.
Tacos for breakfast... why not? If you're looking to spice things up and try something different, this is it. This Mexican dish Huevos Divociados (divorced eggs) was created to please everyone in your household. The eggs are typically served over corn tortillas with both red and green salsa divided by refried beans. Yes, you heard right, both salsas. There won’t be anything left to fight over.
If you love Mole but hate how difficult it is to make from scratch, here's a simplified recipe for a sweet and spicy take on Mole Tacos. With the help of Doña Maria's store bought jar of Mole, you won't hesitate to make this delicious meal when pressed for time.
