Conchas

Recently moved and got fed up with the local bakeries' conchas. Made chocolate and matcha conchas. So delicious and definitely not dry 馃い馃構

Mexican Ketchup?

Years ago I had a friends auntie who used to make what she called 'Mexican ketchup'

I swear it was a just can of tomato sauce, some dried peppers (but what kind?), garlic, oregano, and salt.

Does this sound like a thing? I'm asking cause it came to mind as a condiment to put on some tamales I scored at a road side stand.

ETA
Thanks friends. I ended up using an open jar of salsa I had in the fridge a friend had brought over to use that up.

Does your family openly share family recipes or carefully guard them from others?

I鈥檝e heard others describe awkward interactions with strangers when requesting recipes. Even some family members seem unwilling to share their secrets on that special dish. I remember even my own mother waited a few years before sharing recipes with my wife, as if she needed to be certain the marriage would stick before handing anything over! How do you and your family see it? You gonna tell me how tu abuelita made her mole?

Can anyone help me translate this ingredient for pozole?

My neighbor is from Mexico and I try my best to communicate with her in my high-school learned Spanish. I asked her what type of meat does she use to make her pozole because it is so tender. If I remember correctly, she said "ri帽on" and was pointing to the side of her body. Maybe she meant "guarnici贸n"?

I'm assuming she used pork belly but i have no idea.

What does everyone else use? Bonus points if you can share a recipe.

Substitute for pan de fiesta?

I moved from Texas to Florida and find it impossible to find pan de fiesta to make capitotada.

The Latin grocery stores here don't carry it because there's not much demand, and none of the bakeries seem to have it either.

My partner's mother insists on using it, and I want to make a capirotada that will knock her socks off this year.

Is there a reasonable substitute?

Menudo: The Heart and Soul of Mexican Holiday Celebrations

Hey fellow Redditors,

As we dive into the holiday season, I wanted to share a piece of Mexican culture that brings warmth and joy to many families during this time: Menudo. This traditional Mexican soup is more than just a meal; it鈥檚 a symbol of love, family, and tradition.

Menudo is a hearty soup made with tripe (the lining of a cow's stomach), hominy, and a variety of spices. It鈥檚 often served at special occasions and holiday gatherings, where it serves as a comforting reminder of home and heritage.

In my latest article on Medium, I explore the history and significance of Menudo in Mexican culture, and how it brings people together during the holidays. Whether you鈥檙e a foodie, a history buff, or just someone who loves learning about different cultures, I hope you鈥檒l find this piece interesting.

Discussion Points:

  • Have you ever tried Menudo? What was your experience?
  • What are some traditional dishes that hold special meaning in your culture?
  • How do you celebrate the holidays with food and family?

I don't have a Mexican grocery store anywhere near me, so when I got the chance, I loaded up. In the heat of the moment, I bought a bunch of piloncillo with no plans for it whatsoever. Any ideas on how to use it?

Elguero Ceviche

During the cruise, we had an oppurtunity to visit Ensenada. We had this ceviche by the road side. It is fresh. The sweetness and sourness balances out each other. A definite positive experience.

Carnitas tacos [Estilo Keto]

Made me some homestyle carnitas tacos. Man, some Carnitas con pina, salsa, y guacamole will always hit the spot for me. Since I鈥檓 on a diet, I had to swap out the regular tortilla for a keto one, because I鈥檓 on a diet pero it still came out great! The pineapple complimented the carnitas soo well, I thought only Al Pastor was for that, lol.

Como puedo hacer platillos mexicanos con productos americanos?

Hola:) como lo dije en el titulo, estoy intentando hacer platillos que comia en casa pero con productos de estados unidos. Actualmente soy foranea en una universidad en Texas y estoy batallando un poco en encontrar buenos productos para cocinar. No soy chef profesional pero he aprendido muchos platillos por mi familia y se los ingredientes que debe de llevar cada cosa. El problema viene cuando voy a la tienda y siempre tengo que encontrar algo que "se parezca a" el producto que estoy buscando. Otras veces si encuentro el producto pero esta hecho en estados unidos y no sabe igual. Las frutas y verduras a las que tengo acceso porque no tengo carro estan horribles. Quiero comer lo mas rico posible:( Ya me dan asco las hamburguesas, parece que el menu que tengo a mi alcance si no hago algo en mi departamento son comidas fritas, grasosas, con chorro de sodio o chorro de azucar
