Spicy chorizo is tempered by potatoes to create a very satisfying enchilada combo.

Grilled octopus is surprisingly simple to make. The key is tenderizing the cephalopod before you grill it. This recipe provides two methods: sous vide and braising.
GREEK FRUIT DESSERT

Adopt this simple Greek approach to dessert. Slice some fruit, arrange it on a platter, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. You have a healthy, quick and delicious way to complete your meal.
BLOOD ORANGE MARGARITA

Why do I love blood orange margaritas? Blood oranges are gorgeous. I love their red, orange and pink color. Blood oranges are tarter than regular orange juice, so they work to keep the margarita not too sweet, but still refreshing. Make these vibrant cocktails between December and May when blood oranges are in season.
PASSION FRUIT TEQUILA MOJITO

There may be no better purpose for a passion fruit than a cocktail. This passion fruit mojito is fragrant and delicious and is best served on a remote island, with waterfalls, flamingos preening on the shore, dolphins frolicking in the shoreline and handsome island people playing ukuleles on the beach. If that is not possible, the drink stands on its own as a little mini-vacay. 
WATERMELON, FETA AND TOMATO KABOBS
4 votes, average: 3.75 out of 54 votes, average: 3.75 out of 54 votes, average: 3.75 out of 54 votes, average: 3.75 out of 54 votes, average: 3.75 out of 5 WITH 2 COMMENTS
These skewers are perfect no-cook, super-easy summer appetizers. I have not included ingredient amounts as the recipe can be created for just a couple people or increased for a large bash. Just remember one watermelon square, one cube feta, one cherry tomato, one basil leaf and one mint leaf per skewer. Time to prepare depends on how many skewers you are making.  
MEXICAN MULE COCKTAIL
1 vote, average: 5.00 out of 51 vote, average: 5.00 out of 51 vote, average: 5.00 out of 51 vote, average: 5.00 out of 51 vote, average: 5.00 out of 5 WITH NO COMMENTS
Mexican Mules are a variation of the always delicious Moscow Mule. Made with tequila, fresh lime juice, simple syrup and ginger beer, these cocktails are the perfect summer thirst-quencher. Take your Mexican Mules up a notch and add one of our Tequila Lime Boozy Pops as an edible garnish.
TEQUILA LIME BOOZY POPS

These frosty Margaritas on a stick provide a refreshing summer cooler eaten as is... or use them as a fancy garnish for Margaritas, Palomas or Mexican Mules.
SLOW-COOKED CARNITAS WITH MINTED TOMATILLO SALSA
4 votes, average: 3.25 out of 54 votes, average: 3.25 out of 54 votes, average: 3.25 out of 54 votes, average: 3.25 out of 54 votes, average: 3.25 out of 5 WITH NO COMMENTS
Easy, lip-smacking good, homemade, no lard, no Coca Cola, healthy carnitas are paired with a 3-ingredient minted tomatillo sauce.
CHORIZO AND RED PEPPER STRATA
2 votes, average: 4.00 out of 52 votes, average: 4.00 out of 52 votes, average: 4.00 out of 52 votes, average: 4.00 out of 52 votes, average: 4.00 out of 5 WITH ONE COMMENT
This spicy strata is a great way to feed brunch to a crowd. Layers of bread, sauteed vegetables, chorizo sausage and cheese are melded together with an egg, milk and cream custard. The strata is made a day in advance and then rests overnight in the fridge before baking.
