Pollo Asada Torta

WE'VE MOVED. Visit us at www.carneandpapas.com
Tortas are Mexican sandwiches. You can make your own rolls, but here I've used a store bought Portuguese Bun. You can add sliced tomatoes if you want. A refried bean spread would go nice with this as well.


Pollo Asada Tacos

These chicken tacos are amazing. I use home made corn tortillas here. You can certainly use store bought. Don't feel like you need to use every ingredient here. These would taste great with guacamole vs. the avocado sauce. You can use a different salsa and you don't need the queso fresco. The tacos would taste fine, but these tacos taste great.


Jed's Corn Salsa

My neighbor Jed Schwartz is an amazing farmer among other things. In late summer he always brings us a bag of sweet corn that he's pulled from the stalk within the hour. It's like candy. This is his recipe for corn salsa.


Pan Toasted Arbol Chile and Tomatillo Salsa

WE'VE MOVED. Visit us at www.carneandpapas.com
This is a Rick Bayless recipe. It's a spicy twist on tomatillo salsa. The arbol chiles pack a little punch. Careful when you're making this. There's a bit of a sting in the air when you're frying the chiles. The salsa works great on tacos. It's awesome on chicken.


Avocado Sauce

This sauce is great on everything. It's basically a simple gaucamole that's blended. Water is added to make it smoother. Add a little more water than this recipe describes and you can add it to a kitchen squirt bottle. That makes it really easy to add to tacos.

Pollo Asada

Pollo Asada is grilled marinated chicken. I use a similar marinade for my carne asada. I add a bit of orange and lime juice here. I learned this recipe from the chef at a restaurant in Bonita, California when I waited tables there as a kid. It's perfect by itself or in tacos, burritos, or tortas.
