Huarache with Steak, Asparagus, and Egg
WE'VE MOVED. Visit us at www.carneandpapas.com
This is a variation of a recipe I originally saw in Saveur magazine. I made it for my son and his friend the other night. They said, "I don't know what this is, but I love it." You pan fry a thick masa tortilla till crispy and cover with cheese, salsa and whatever else. I add steak, tomatillo salsa, jack cheese, eggs and broiled asparagus. Yummy.

Maine Lobster Enchiladas
WE'VE MOVED. Visit us at www.carneandpapas.com
We have lobsters on a regular basis throughout the Summer. It's actually fairly affordable when they're in season. Most people don't do anything more than just boil, crack them open at the dinner table, dip the meat in butter, and eat. There's really not any real reason to do more than that. Maine lobster is amazing on its own. But, every once in a while it's nice to spice things up. These enchiladas are a spicy treat.

Roasted Poblano Peppers Stuffed with Chorizo, Potato, and Mushrooms
WE'VE MOVED. Visit us at www.carneandpapas.com
We do a variety of stuffed poblano peppers. Chorizo usually finds it's way into every version we do. There is a great variety of chorizo out there. We like the ground mexican kind. There's a few different brands we go with. This one works. This recipe is similar to a chile relleno, but we don't coat in egg and fry. This is a bit easier. There is no substitute for the traditional fried chile relleno, but if there was, this might be it.

Carne Asada Tacos (Tijuana Street Style)
WE'VE MOVED. Visit us at www.carneandpapas.com
The carne asada (steak) tacos you get on the street in Tijuana, Rosarito, or Ensenada are pretty simple. Generally it's grilled steak, a hot salsa, creamy avocado, and chopped white onion and cilantro on a home made corn tortilla. It might be simple, but it's a special combination of flavors. I've tried to recreate it as much as possible. This is pretty close. Like most great street food, it's also about the experience of the location. That's tough to replace here in New Hampshire. But a bite of these tacos does take me there for a second or two.

Grilled Carne Asada
WE'VE MOVED. Visit us at www.carneandpapas.com
There's many ways to do carne asada. I do it a couple ways; grilled or in a cast iron pan. This is my grilled recipe. I use flank steak here, but you can use any steak you like. Sirloin tips work wonderful.
