These beef and bean burritos are everything you’ve ever loved about Mexican food in one tortilla. A seasoned ground beef mixture, refried beans, tons of cheese, and a creamy, spicy poblano cream sauce are wrapped up in flour tortillas and fried until golden and crispy.

I love making all kinds of Mexican food, from classics like this homemade flour tortilla recipe stuffed with just about anything I can think of and tacos dorados to creative, Mexican-inspired dishes like Mexican tamale pie and stuffed jalapeno poppers. I’m a big fan of Mexican flavors, and after living in Texas for a few years, I’m also a fan of going big.

These beef and bean burritos are all about big. I didn’t just stop with a zesty beef mixture and refried beans. I went all out with two kinds of cheeses and a roasted poblano cream sauce for even more flavor. Then, I finished it all by frying the burritos until golden and crispy. The result is a burrito that’s a full meal in your hand, with classic flavors done a bit differently.

These brisket stuffed jalapenos combine all the sensibilities of jalapeno poppers with BBQ brisket to create an appetizer that’s full of backyard barbecue flavor. Halved jalapenos are stuffed with a kicked-up popper filling featuring brisket and BBQ sauce, wrapped in bacon, then they’re baked until tender for a zesty, meaty, cheesy treat you’ll love.

Two things always make me think of summer: jalapeno poppers and brisket. When I host a backyard party, I always make sure I have spicy appetizers like my stuffed jalapeno poppers on hand, and I also frequently serve my signature beef brisket recipe.

I’ve combined both of these loves into one amazing appetizer with these brisket stuffed jalapenos. I take the classic cream cheese filling for jalapeno poppers and add leftover diced brisket and BBQ sauce to create a creamy, beefy, zesty filling. Then, I stuff halved jalapenos with the mixture and bake them until they’re soft and tender. They’re the ultimate appetizer for summer or throughout the year.

As any of you long-time readers out there know, I also love getting creative with recipes. I love using leftovers to create new dishes, especially when those leftovers are as versatile as something like Dutch oven pulled pork.

For this smoked pulled pork queso dip, I combined my love of spicy queso, the versatility of pulled pork, and the fun of getting creative in the kitchen to create a rich, cheesy dip that’s full of meaty flavor and a pop of heat thanks to diced pickled jalapenos.

These grilled chicken burrito bowls are chock-full of classic burrito flavor, but without the tortilla. These bowls are filled with tender, juicy marinated chicken strips, Ranch-style beans, pico de gallo, avocados, and a creamy, zesty dressing. If you’re not hungry yet, you will be!

As you’ve probably noticed, I love me some Mexican food, and burritos are high on the list. I just love the combination of flavors and textures. Traditional flavors like these hatch chicken burritos are great, but I also love getting creative with the flavors, like I did with these fried rib eye breakfast burritos.

Speaking of getting creative, my newest addition is a burrito in a bowl. I took the idea of my southwest chicken bowl and combined it with the flavors of a chicken burrito to create these grilled chicken burrito bowls.

These bowls are great for people who are watching their carb intake or for those who don’t love it when their filling falls out of the back of their burritos. LOL. They’re also so easy to make, which is a HUGE bonus!

These brisket nachos are meaty, cheesy, and perfect for any party. Crispy tortilla chips are topped with tender BBQ brisket, ranch beans, corn, and melty Monterey Jack cheese to create a flavorful plate no one can resist.

I’ve always loved beef for main meals, but since moving to Texas several years ago, brisket has become one of my go-to options, especially since it’s so easy to prepare and versatile.

Besides its delicious flavor, what I love about this cut of beef is that it’s so versatile. It’s a great main course on the first day, and later, the leftovers are great in other recipes like smoked brisket queso or homemade egg rolls with leftover brisket.

For this recipe, I transformed leftover brisket into beefy, cheesy, Mexican-inspired brisket nachos. They’re fully loaded, full of flavor, and perfect for any party or event.

This chunky avocado salsa combines the smooth, creamy flavor and texture of avocado with the savory, bright, and spicy flavors of a simple homemade salsa to bring you the ultimate dip.

This chunky avocado salsa combines the best of those worlds into one amazing dip. I took the idea of my creamy avocado salsa and changed it up by making it chunky.

This version features chunks of avocado blended into a simple salsa that utilizes just a few ingredients. It’s so easy to make and it’s absolutely full of flavor. It’s great for any occasion!

These smoked stuffed poblano peppers are going to be a hit at your next party. Poblano peppers are stuffed with a seasoned BBQ brisket and cream cheese mixture and wrapped in bacon. Then, they’re slathered with more BBQ sauce and smoked until the peppers are soft, and the filling is toasty. It’s so good and so easy!

I love spicy food, but I know not everyone likes the same amount of heat that I do. That’s why I love cooking with poblano peppers. Recipes made with poblanos, like this chile relleno casserole, have that same vegetal, Mexican flavor, but with less heat than a jalapeno.

And speaking of everyone being able to enjoy, I’ve got a great recipe for you that’s loaded with delicious flavor but not too much heat. These smoked stuffed poblano peppers are a variation of my bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers that use poblano peppers in place of jalapenos to tone down the heat just a bit.

With just a few simple ingredients and in just a few minutes, you’ll have a rich, creamy, spicy sauce full of smoky, spicy roasted poblano and jalapeno flavor that pairs well with just about anything.

There’s nothing more versatile than sauces if you ask me. I view them as the accessories of main courses, accentuating and complementing everything from breakfasts to desserts. I love making all kinds of sauces, from savory vegan cheese sauce for myself and my dairy-free friends to sweet cranberry sauce for chicken, turkey, and beef dishes and raspberry topping for pancakes, waffles, and ice cream. Sauces are perfect for all kinds of uses, and that’s where my newest addition comes in.

Burritos are a classic Mexican dish, and I’ve loved them since I first had them as a kid. I don’t want to age myself, so I’ll just say I’ve been in love with them for a long time. I love classic burritos, but as a cook, I also love getting creative with them. Over the years, I’ve added variations like my fried rib eye breakfast burritos, chipotle ranch grilled chicken burritos, and even a fried Italian sausage scramble with a fun twist of Italian sausage in place of ground beef. The secret is that frying the tortilla makes any burrito the best ever!

Now I’ve added another variation that I’m excited to share with all of you. My fried chicken burritos are meaty, spicy, creamy, and pan-fried until they’re golden and crispy. Oh, and did I mention they’re so easy to make? Even roasting the peppers is simple.

My chicken poblano enchilada casserole takes flavors of zest, spicy chicken enchiladas, and turns them into a casserole with the sensibilities of a lasagna. Layers of tender, seasoned grilled chicken, spinach, cheese, poblano cream sauce, and corn tortillas are baked until bubbly, golden, and oh, so delicious.

I lived in California for years, and I now call Texas home. So, I know my Mexican food. I love eating it, and I love making it. One of my favorite Mexican dishes is enchiladas. I love the traditional variety, but I also like getting creative with the flavors and textures of this classic dish. I enjoy variations like beef and rice enchilada casserole, green chile pork enchiladas, and hatch green chile chicken enchiladas. They’re absolutely loaded with flavor and breathe new life into an old classic.

My newest addition, this chicken poblano enchilada casserole, takes all the flavors of regular enchiladas and gives them a little bit of a lasagna-inspired makeover, with layers of corn tortillas in place of noodles and an enchilada cream sauce in place of traditional sauce.
