I just made homemade tortillas for the second time a few nights ago, curious...what are your favorite Mexican or Spanish dishes? Or your favorite recipes/tips and tricks? :)

Carne asada with rice, beans, and either plantains or yucca. Super delicious!

I love homemade chicken tamales cooked in my instant pot. They are fairly easy and taste delicious! You basically just need corn husks, masa harina (which is ground corn and comes in a packaging similar to flour), shortening, chicken, and green chile sauce. You can easily look up tamale recipes online and find the one you like that has the ingredients you are comfortable cooking with.

The bold and spicy flavors of Mexican cuisine are particularly appealing to me. I enjoy savoring dishes like chicken mole and shrimp tacos. The vibrancy and variety in Spanish tapas are also a culinary adventure I relish.

My favorite Spanish meal is called pińon. It’s almost like a lasagna, but instead of the noodles, it has sweet plantains that are fried.

I am not the biggest fan of Mexican food, but I am a big fan of Taco salads. It is on the expensive side, but it is worth it.

Quesabirria! I love everything about them. The flavors are just incredible, especially paired with consomé. My favorite ones have had some spiciness.

Crispy chile rellenos are my favorite. I prefer them with green chili (Coloradan or New Mexican style). Homemade green chili is the best, but Stokes makes a good substitute.

I love a lot of different Mexican dishes. A good Mexican restaurant is usually my first choice when dining out.
