In this show Marcela makes three Mexican bunch dishes that everyone will love, all of them a snap for any home cook: traditional "cowboy beans" made with chorizo and bacon; crepes with cheese and corn and topped with creamy poblano sauce; and cheese fritters dipped in Mexican hot chocolate.
Taking delicious Mexican dishes on the go has never been easier with Marcela's menu of Mexican-Style Slaw a simple salad of shredded jicama, beets, cucumber and rings of red arbol chiles, Warm Picnic Burritos filled with shredded dry beef (machaca) and Quick-n-Easy Coconut Bark using condensed milk and coconut baked to perfection.
There's no reason to spend a lot of money to eat great food: Marcela will make four delicious Mexican specialties that are also budget-conscious: traditional meatball soup in rich tomato broth; Mexico City-style tacos with pasta and queso fresco; chicken with a smoky peanut-chipotle sauce; and Mexican chocolate bread pudding, made with leftover bread.
It's time to show mom a little extra love with Marcela's mami's day brunch party. To start, healthy mexican-style granola, followed by Marcela's mom's surefire recipe for mouth-watering chicken enchiladas. Then hash browns get a spicy addition with the flavor of Mexican chorizo and finally, a sweet dessert for sweet moms, pecan and caramel candies!
It's time to barbeque - Mexican-style! As Marcela shares ideas for spicing up everything from rib-eye with buttery roasted garlic and ancho chiles to grilled tostadas paired with mexican cheese and pickled jalapeños, onions, and carrots! Throw on some grilled zucchini and bean salad and tequila drenched b-b-q peaches and you've got a mexi-grill to remember!
Getting together for the 'big game' is an American tradition, but it's also the perfect time to serve up some hearty Mexican food. Marcela scores a touchdown with her friends as she has them over and serves up some Sweet and Spicy Short Rib Tacos, bubbly baked Manchego cheese with chorizo, Turkey Picadillo Sliders (a meaty Mexican sloppy Joe), and Spicy Clamato and Beer cocktails.
