This Mexican cookbook is packed with delicious easy to make Mexican meal ideas. Each recipe is accompanied by a picture so you can see what the finished recipe will look like. Measurements are in both imperial and metric so the book is user friendly, no matter where you live in the world!When many people think of Mexican food, they think of fast food and nachos smothered in cheese for example. However, true Mexican food is quite different. We will get a harmonious balance between quick and easy Mexican recipes while still maintaining tasty, health conscious ingredients.
Foods like burritos, nachos, salsa and chimichangas, have opened our minds and hearts to experience authentic Mexican cuisine. There is a mixture of colors and flavors from the quick and easy to the more complex dishes. This book will explore traditional Mexican recipes, but at the same time offer recipe ideas that are easy for people to achieve in their own home without a pantry full of specific Mexican ingredients.
Whether it’s a crockpot meal like Slow Cooker Chili Beef, quick to prepare Mexican Tostadas for lunch, or the interesting chocolate twist in a Chicken Mole, there is something for everyone’s palette. Salsas are very popular and also very flexible what ingredients you put in them...great as a classic Mexican snack, or as a side meal accompaniment.

Sample Recipe from Cook Like a Rock Star: Peperonata with Goat Cheese 
Serves: 6 to 8
Time: about 30 minutes
Mise en place:
Extra virgin olive oil
2 onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 red and 1 yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, pith removed, and cut into 1/2-inch diamonds
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon pimenton (smoked paprika)
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 8-to 10-ounce log of goat cheese, at room temp
Chopped fresh chives, for garnish (optional)
1 baguette, cut into 1/2-inch slices, toasted or grilled
1. Coat a large sauté pan with olive oil, add the onions and red pepper, season with salt, and bring to medium heat. Cook the onions until soft and aromatic, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure they don’t brown.
2. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes; it should start to smell really good!
3. Add the peppers and 1/4 cup water; season with salt. Continue cooking until the peppers have softened and the water has evaporated, another 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Add the tomato paste, pimenton, and sherry vinegar and stir to combine; taste for salt (it will probably need more). Cook until the mixture comes together and looks tightened up and slightly thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
5. I like to squish the goat cheese into a serving bowl and nestle the peperonata in the center rather than spooning it over an entire log--it’s more rustic-looking this way. Garnish with chives if you like and serve with baguette slices.
