Chipotle Night at Home

The girls have been into Chipotle lately and I thought it would be cool to have our own Chipotle Night at home.

Mexican Rice in the Rice Cooker

I was experimenting with tomato bouillon and made Mexican-style rice in the rice cooker for my bean, cheese, and rice burritos. The perfectly cooked Mexican rice was super easy to make.

I’m in love with the juiciness of the tomatoes, crispness of the white onions, herbaceousness of the cilantro... Continue Reading →

This is my Chorizo Breakfast Burrito with all the ingredients I love in it. The only thing missing was diced jalapeños and maybe... Continue Reading →

Birria de Res

I decided to make a pot with brisket trimmings from the brisket trimmings from my Overnight Smoked Brisket a few months ago that have been hanging out in my freezer. Instead of cooking it in the oven, I opted to let it smoke... Continue Reading →
