Mexican recipes

Chillies, corn and slow-built layers of smoke and acid. 177 Mexican recipes, from the everyday to the ambitious.

Tacos, enchiladas, moles, salsas, soups and drinks. Many recipes start with toasting dried chillies or charring tomatoes and onions, and those few minutes are where most of the flavour comes from. Watch the pan closely: a chilli that scorches turns bitter.

The 177 recipes cover all ten of the site’s categories, among them 82 dinners, 22 appetisers and small plates, 14 quick meals, 13 lunches, 12 breakfasts and 12 desserts. Of these, 76 are ready in 30 minutes or less, start to finish; the quickest are Classic Margarita (5 min), Michelada (5 min) and Paloma (5 min). For 47, the method times a wait such as rising, chilling or marinating, and the time at the top of the recipe includes it. By difficulty: 135 easy, 34 medium and 8 hard.

As written, 77 are vegetarian, 28 vegan, 89 gluten-free and 80 dairy-free. Another 6 meet a diet label only with a swap the recipe names, and the recipe says which.
