I’ve been passionate about Mexican food my entire adult life, long before we could easily find the ingredients needed to make even the simplest dishes. Thankfully, it’s now much easier to get everything you need to cook authentic Mexican meals at home. I’ve rounded up a few of my favourite recipes to share.
Oven-baked pulled pork, carnitas tacos
I love oven-baked tacos. The process is more hands-off than making them in a pan. Ideal for feeding a crowd.
Esquites (Mexican corn salad)
This is the salad version of the famous Mexican corn street food snack. Everyone loves this.
Quesadillas with corn & red pepper relish
I love to make this salasa in summer and preserve it in jars for later use. I share all details on how to do the canning properly in the post.
Pomegranate Guacamole
Pomegranate arils add a delicious texture to gaucamole as they burst in your mouth. I have been meaning to update these pics as its an older post.
Mexican inspired ceviche
This is another recipe that badly needs new photography, but ceviche is my favourite appetiser and a delicious starter to any Mexican feast.
Salad nachos with home-preserved zesty salsa
I love the combination of hot and cold textures in salad nachos. It makes my favourite Mexican snack a little healthier too.
Salmon tacos with spiced coffee rub
Coffee may seem like a strange ingredient for salmon, but the BBQ spice rub works.
Pork carnitas tacos (pulled pork version)
I love all the citrus that goes into this dish, and it’s mostly hands-off. An excellent option to feed a crowd.
Mexican short-rib tacos
This is another slow-braised taco filling that is hands-off, mainly, and affordable. Let time do the heavy lifting in this recipe. You can use a slow cooker, pressure cooker or cook in the oven.
Tequila lime & honey chicken
An overnight marinade locks in the flavour of this delicious dish.
Chipotle chicken enchiladas
Everyone loves baked enchiladas. It’s the ‘lasagne’ of Mexican cuisine.
My perfect huevos rancheros with chipotle
I could eat this all the time and love it as a quick supper when I am craving Mexican flavours.
Easy Air Fryer chicken fajitas
You can make the filling in an oven or an Air Fryer, and this is such an easy and delicious weeknight supper that’s quite healthy too.
Viral high-protein beef taco bowls with sweet potato
These healthy taco bowls are on regular rotation in my house and are perfect for meal prep and my healthier eating regimen.
Beer-battered fish tacos with spicy slaw
The perfect Paloma cocktail
A Paloma is my favourite cocktail. I also love a frozen paloma.
How to make a basil mojito
The best tres leches cake
This classic South American cake is one of my all-time favourites. Traditionally, I have used 3 types of milk to soak, but now I add six kinds, including caramel. It’s so delicious, I also made a coffee version in a single layer using dalgona cream on top.

An easy Mexican menu to feed a crowd
If I were looking to create a low-fuss, make-ahead Mexican menu where everyone could DIY their food, this is what I would make. Perfect for a casual celebration or gathering.
To Sart – Ceviche and corn chips, and a possible Mexican corn esquites salad as a second vegetarian option. A third dip/starter could be pomegranate guacamole.
To drink – I would serve palomas, of course.
Main – I would make the Pulled pork carnitas tacos as per above.
Dessert – tres leches cake made in a single layer and served in squares, alternatively hte coffee tres leches with dalgona cream.
