Easy Guacamole: is this the best guacamole recipe in the world?

Some think so! You can check out what some of my Mexican friends are calling the best guacamole recipe in the world (their words!)

Personally, I like a little cilantro in my guacamole, but I still have to concede that this recipe is pretty delicious.  It's also super easy to make, so that's a plus when you're strapped for time like me!

Authentic Tacos al Pastor recipe

If you travel to Mexico and explore the cuisine, you'll notice just how big Mexican pork recipes are to the Chilangos. Whether they're hanging out a the local cantina and munching down some tacos for lunch, or back at home cooking up some pozole at home on the weekend, pork plays an integral role in authentic Mexican recipes.

One of my favorite recipes from Mexico is this authentic Tacos al Pastor recipe from the street vendors of Mexico city, that I've adapted so you can make them at home without a vertical rotisserie or any of the other fancy equipment they use.  Try it out when you have some time on the weekend and let me know what you think.  I think you'll love this one!

Salsa Taquera Recipe for Tacos

When you live in Mexico, you end up eating a lot of tacos.  Be it the street corner at the vendor, your friend's house, or your neighbor who's showing you some love by making you a plate of food along with the rest of the guests he's serving (happens quite often in Mexican culture!) ,what doesn't change is that these tacos are nearly always served with salsa taquera.

This salsa is perhaps the most common salsa served with tacos in this country, and it is legendary among Mexicans for quickly infusing your dish with a punch of delicious flavor.  I've tried a lot of spicy salsas in this country, but few can compare with the quality of a good salsa taquera recipe. Try it out and see how well your tongue interprets Mexican!
