    Ingredients











    Directions

    Squeeze the juice of one lime half over the flesh of the avocados to prevent oxidation. Brush cut-side of avocado halves, remaining lime halves, and both sides of the red onion slices with olive oil. Lightly season with salt and pepper.

    Preheat grill over a medium-high flame. Oil grill.

    Grill onions until soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes per side. Grill avocados and limes, cut-side down, until grill marks appear with a light char, about 5 minutes. Times may vary by grill. Remove to platter to cool.

    When avocados are cool enough to handle, scoop flesh into a large bowl and mash to desired consistency (I like to leave my guacamole a little chunky). Chop grilled onions (you should have between ½ and ¾ cup).

    Stir chopped onions, garlic, cilantro, ground cumin, ½ tablespoon (1-½ teaspoons) extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper into the mashed avocados.

    Add 1-2 tablespoons grilled lime juice, to taste, and stir to combine. Cover and let stand at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.

    Serve, with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and an additional pinch of cilantro, if desired. Bake Sonora Tortillas until golden and crispy for dipping.

  • Huevos Divorciados

    Huevos Divorciados

    Ingredients







    Potatoes





    Salsa Verde






    Salsa Roja





    Directions

    Rinse and dice the potato into 1/4″ cubes. You can optionally press the diced potatoes into some paper towels to get rid of some of the moisture.

    In a mixing bowl combine the potatoes with 1 teaspoon chili powder, a pinch of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and 1-2 tablespoons oil. Cover with plastic and give it a shake until the potatoes are coated with the seasoning. Form a single layer of potatoes on a sheet pan and bake for 20-30 minutes at 400F.

    Once the potatoes are in the oven you can start roasting the tomatoes and tomatillos. Take the husks off the tomatillos and give everything a good rinse. I usually de-stem the tomatoes and tomatillos knowing that any juice leftover in the roasting pan will go into the blender. Roast the tomatoes and tomatillos in the oven for 20-30 minutes. The tomatillos will typically need less time so you can take them out when they turn army green in color.

    For the Salsa Verde, add the roasted tomatillos to a blender along with 1/2 onion, 1 peeled garlic clove, 10-12 sprigs cilantro (using the upper stems is fine), and 1/2 of the jalapeno pepper. (Be sure to give the cilantro and jalapeno a good rinse.) Pulse blend and taste for heat level. If you want more heat add the other half of the jalapeno. Salt to taste.

    For the Salsa Roja, add the roasted tomatoes to a blender along with 1/2 onion, 1 peeled garlic clove, and 1/2 of the jalapeno. Pulse blend and taste for heat level. If you want more heat add the other half of the jalapeno. Salt to taste.

    Bake chorizo for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.

    For the eggs, heat up a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Gently crack the eggs into the pan. For sunny side up, cook until the whites are set, partially covering the pan if you want. For over easy, flip and cook the second side briefly.

    Add a layer of potatoes and diced chorizo to a plate. Add the eggs and cover them in the freshly made Salsas, half green and half red. Serve immediately and optionally garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

  • Mexican Rainbow Salad

    Ingredients












    Directions

    Fill a large serving bowl with your chopped romaine lettuce.

    Top with all remaining ingredients except cheese and dressing. I love the look of “rainbow” rows of veggies – it makes such a beautiful and appealing presentation! this step can be done a few hours in advance of serving if salad is stored in the refrigerator.

    Add cheese, dressing, and toss together until evenly coated.

    Cut and bake Sonora Tortillas to top salad or place on side for scooping salad.
