What you will need ~

Recipe originally shared by Hillbilly Recipes

24-30 Strawberries
Margarita Mix

1 box strawberry Jell-O
8 ounces tequila, preferably reposado or blanco
6 ounce Cointreau
Salt for garnish

How to make ~
Strawberry Prep

Cut the bottoms of the strawberry flat to get them to stand upright. When you do so, make sure that you do not cut off so much that there is a hole at the bottom.
Use a huller or apple corer to empty out the strawberry.
Once the strawberries have been emptied, use a towel to pat the outside of the strawberries dry.
Check each strawberry and make sure there is not a hole in the bottom before you start filling.

Margarita Mix

Boil one cup of hot water in a saucepan, then add in Jell-o powder and whisk until powder is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Set aside. Measure out 1/4 cup of cold water and set aside.
Combine tequila and Cointreau, in cocktail shaker filled with ice. Add liqueur mixture to cold water and stir to combine. Then add cold liqueur mixture to hot Jell-o mixture and stir to combine.
Pour final Jell-o mix into strawberries and chill overnight. Dip your finger in water or use a moistened brush to wet the edge of the strawberries, dip and rotate the strawberries in salt to rim. Garnish with a slice of lime to finish.

Taco Cupcakes

It's funny how just by changing the thing that you use to fill the "taco" with you change the name of the dish. If you were to add the filling to soft tortillas and bake you now have enchiladas, if you were to add it to flat crunchy tortillas it would be called a tostada. Making taco cupcakes just sounds like a ton of fun! You know what they say, "presentation is everything," and who doesn't love cupcakes? As with any recipe you can modify the ingredients to your liking but this will give you ideas to get started. 
*To make this a breakfast dish substitute the ground beef with a scrambled egg and bell pepper mix! 

What you will need~

• 1 1/2 lb lean ground beef
• 1 (15-oz.) can spicy chili beans
• 1 package taco seasoning mix
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (here in Cancun you will need a package of dry biscuit mix)
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 
• 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup chopped tomato
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup salsa

How to make ~

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Brown ground beef in large skillet over medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. Drain.
2. Add chili beans, taco seasoning mix and water, mix well. Reduce heat to medium, simmer 10 minutes or until ground beef mixture is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, spray outside bottom and sides of a cupcake/muffin pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Roll or pat each biscuit to form 4 1/2-inch round. Place rounds over outside of sprayed cups; press to fit over bottom and partway down sides of cups. Place cups, upside down, in ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
4. Bake at 375°F. for 14 to 16 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove pan from oven. Carefully remove biscuit cups from pan. Place biscuit cups, right side up, in same baking pan. Spoon beef mixture evenly into each cup.
5. Top with cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and salsa.

What you will need ~

• ground beef
• refried beans
• taco seasoning
• 1/2 can tomato sauce
• tortillas (soft or hard)
• shredded cheese

How to prepare ~

Brown your ground beef and drain completely - then add refried beans, taco seasoning and about half a can of tomato sauce. Mix together and scoop into taco shells, (stand them up in a casserole dish).

Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake at 375° for 10 minutes!

Please note, hard taco shells are not found here in Cancun in the form that you are used to. They actually come flat like pancakes called tostadas. If you would like to try making your own homemade tortillas you can check out the link to this recipe!

Smothered Burritos

Recipe by Diona Thompson

Ingredients ~

• 2 lbs stew meat (or cubed beef)
• 1 (20 oz) can mild red enchilada sauce
• 2 beef bouillon cubes
• ½ can refried beans
• 5-7 large flour tortillas (warmed)
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
• lettuce and tomato for optional topping

Directions ~

Step 1~ Add cubed beef, beef bouillon cubes, and enchilada sauce into a crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. Heat up refried beans in a microwave safe dish or in a small saucepan on the stove top.

Step 2 ~ Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Lay out a flour tortilla onto a flat surface. Place a thin layer of refried beans into the center of the tortilla, add about ½ cup of the meat mixture onto the burrito with a slotted spoon (make sure to drain most of the liquid). Fold the sides of the burrito in, then roll from the other sides until you have a package formed. Place the burrito seam side down into the casserole dish. Spoon some of the remaining enchilada sauce in the crock pot over the burrito and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat until all of the burritos are rolled and in the casserole dish.

Step 3 ~ Place into the oven and bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted. You can also place the burritos onto microwave safe plates, and microwave for about 30 seconds until the cheese has melted.

Side Notes ~ You can substitute the meat for shrimp or chicken.

Caribbean Fish Tacos

For the tacos ~

Recipe by Nisa Burns

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb tilapia fillets or another lean white fish 
5 corn or flour tortillas
2 limes
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced

5 tbsp Mango Lime Salsa

• How to prepare the tacos ~
  
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the fish in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. It should be flaky and milky white when done. Overcooking will cause it to be dry and tough. Divide the fish into five servings.
  • Place one serving of fish on each tortilla. Squeeze the limes over the fish, add the avocado slices, and top with the shredded cabbage and Mango Lime Salsa.

For the salsa ~

• 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced small (about 1½ cups)
• ½ medium red onion, finely chopped
• 1 jalapeno, finely chopped (include ribs and seeds for a hotter taste)
• 3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
• ½ avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced small 
•   (about 1½ cups) peeled, cored, and diced small
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper

How to prepare the salsa ~
Combine all of the ingredients except the salt and pepper in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Native "Elixirs" of Mexico

On the peninsula of Mexico, like most places, you will find the popular elixir of tequila and its cousin mezcal. Both spirits are distilled from the agave plant, but the difference is that tequila has to come from the blue agave plant grown in the central state of Jalisco and is protected with a Designation of Origin (DO) by the Consejo Regulador del Tequila (the Tequila Regulate Council). Specifically the mezcal is made from the heart, called the piña, of the maguey plant which is in the same family as the agave plant. It is thought that the maguey plant was one of the most sacred plants of pre-Hispanic Mexico. The creation myth of mezcal states that a lightning bolt struck the plant, opening and cooking it, therefor releasing the the plant's juices. Because it was created by an "act of the gods," the liquid is called the “elixir of the gods."

Cerveza (beer) is also widely available and although you can find all national brands such as Corona and Dos Equis, two local beers stand out: the lager Montejo and the dark León Negra because of their bold flavors. The practice of a beer served with a wedge of lime in the mouth of the bottle is not as common in Mexico as it is in foreign bars and you will find that establishments that serve lime with your beer would most likely offer it on a small plate. 

Balché is a Maya spirit that was offered to the gods during special ceremonies. It is fermented inside the hollow trunk of the balché tree with water and honey. In Valladolid (colonial town near Chichen Itza), during indigenous weddings, the bride is sprayed with balché as a sign of abundance. (You can follow the link to read the legend of the balché drink.)
Balché is not commercially available, but another Maya spirit, Xtabentún is easy to find in the region. Xtabentún is an anise-flavored liqueur that when authentic is made by fermenting honey produced by honey bees that their nectar came from the nectar of the xtabetún flower. Rum is also added to the mixture of honey and anise to enhance the flavor even more. It is possible that xtabentún may have its origin in balché, but due to the strong flavor that didn't appeal to the Spanish conquistadores, they introduced anise and took away the tree bark and corn. It is usually served straight, cold, or with ice and honey. It can also be served with coffee, creating a drink called "Mayan coffee" or with one shot of tequila and an equal part xtabentún then adding half a lime makes a "Maya margarita." Wikipedia.

Beef Tostadas

What you will need ~

Photo and Recipe by Jenny U.
In the Kitchen with Jenny

• 1-1/2 pounds boneless beef round steak
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon chili powder (or a combination of cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper)
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 12 packaged tostada or hard taco shells
• Refried beans
• Cooked Onions and Peppers (see note below)
• Shredded iceberg lettuce
• Shredded Mexican-blend cheese or Chihuahua Cheese
• Salsa
• Guacamole
• Sour Cream

How to Make ~ 

Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. Place 3 tablespoons of the lime juice, the garlic, jalapeño, onion, chili powder, cumin and cayenne in a slow cooker. Place meat on top and cook on HIGH for 6 hours or LOW for 8 hours.

Remove beef to a cutting board and when cool enough to handle, shred with fingers or using two forks. Place shredded beef in a large bowl. Strain remaining liquid in slow cooker over a bowl or measuring cup, discarding solids. Add strained liquid and remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice to beef in bowl and stir to combine. Cover; keep warm.

For onions and peppers, cook in a little bit of oil with the same seasoning as your beef. I let them caramelize a little then add water a little bit at a time until they are soft. That is the way we prefer them. If you like them crunchy then don't cook them as long. We like to add red pepper, not only for color but for a little added sweetness.

Warm tostada shells in the oven. 200 degrees for about 5 minutes. Spread beans, then layer the rest of the toppings on top.

Grilled Avocados

Photo and Recipe by Morsels & Musings

Ingredients ~ 

• 1 avocado
• 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce, Tabasco or Louisiana
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• ¼ cup parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper

How to Make ~

1. Slice the avocado in half and remove the seed. Prick all over with a fork, or cut criss-cross patterns with a knife. This allows the sauce to penetrate the flesh.

2. Pour the sauce over each half, then top with lime juice and salt and pepper.


3. In the cavity where the seed was, put a fourth of the cheese on each avocado half. Place under the hot grill for 2 minutes.
