If you don’t already have a go-to guacamole recipe, let me introduce you to mine. This guacamole recipe is easy to make. You can whip it up in 10 minutes or less! It calls for simple, fresh ingredients. Think ripe avocados, onion, cilantro, and lime. It’s DELICIOUS. This homemade guacamole is creamy, zesty, and bright. I developed the recipe after years of living in Austin, Texas. The city has incredible Tex Mex and Mexican food, and I’ve eaten a TON of great guac at local restaurants there. Eventually, it inspired me to learn how to make guacamole at home. With […]

If I learned one thing from living in Austin, it’s that homemade salsa is infinitely better than any kind in a jar. I loved sampling salsas at restaurants and taco trucks. Each one was different—some were made with roasted ingredients, others got a smoky, spicy kick from dried chiles, and still others were nice and fresh. This variety inspired me to start experimenting with making homemade salsa. I might pull out dried chiles in the winter, when good tomatoes are hard to find, or roast tomatillos if I see them at the farmers market. But on hot summer days, this […]

It’s a super easy, super delicious way to give a simple meal a little extra pop. I’m sharing my pickled cabbage recipe at the bottom of this post. Along the way, you’ll find tips for making it and a few tasty variations. […]

Have you ever tried a breakfast quesadilla? I recently started making them, and I’m totally obsessed. They consist of soft scrambled eggs, flavorful veggies, and melty cheddar cheese, all wrapped up in a crisp, golden brown tortilla. They’re a filling, high-protein breakfast that still feels fresh! This breakfast quesadilla recipe is quicker than making breakfast burritos. And unlike breakfast tacos, it’s great for meal prep. So if you’re a fan of Mexican or Southwest-inspired breakfasts, it’s a nice addition to the rotation—delicious, easy, AND easy to make ahead. I hope you love it as much as I do!
