Chilerosa-For The Love of Mexican Food

Started a pineapple vinegar on Monday and it will be ready in six months. The kitchen teaches that waiting is ok.

Mentally savoring the spicy chile pasilla shrimp soup I'm making with these.

Woke up yesterday craving #Yucatecan onions. Went to the kitchen and pickled some for the week. Eat with everything: 3 sliced red onions, 1 minced chile habanero, the juice of 2 sour oranges. Place everything in a glass jar and shake to mix.

Tamal de fresa from the most creative tamale stand in #Queens. Arelí makes her #tamales natural and with such passion and creativity. Kuddos to this one.

Just discovered the most extensive hot #chocolate menu at Crave Expresso Bar in #TriBeCa. ¡Qué viva el chocolate!

Did I mention how much I love #pepian? That creamy pumpkin seed #salsa from southern #Mexico? Had it for #dinner #tonight with sautéed arugula and boiled eggs. #Delicious and #nutritious

Lunch for hubby @moyopics, half-eaten because he couldn't wait: #chipotle mung dal, wild rice with sweet #chiles, Monterrey jack #quesadillas and mini romaine avocado #salad.

#Experiments from my #mexicankitchen: tortillas in poblano-butternut squash sauce and slightly sautéed romaine lettuce with pickled red onion and #avocado.

Red #pipian ready to eat! This is one of the easiest moles to make and fun when prepared with friends. We served it with tilapia, green rice and red onions pickled with sour orange. #Yum
