Green Chile and Zucchini Quiche
Green Chile and Zucchini Quiche This quiche gets its heat from canned chiles. But if you have a little more time, you should lose the canned chiles and make the recipe instead with roasted fresh poblanos, which are even more delicious. I like the contrasting crunch of Triscuits, but just…
Mexican Style Chicken Salad
Photo by Jessica Leibowitz This is my favorite kind of salad because it has so many elements and, from the creamy avocado to the crispy homemade tortilla chips, they all have different textures.

Zabaglione

Matzo Brei with Creamed Spinach and Crispy Onions
