Serrano Recipes

This is a wonderful, fully flavored broth!

I usually make the burritos, put them on oven proof plates, top with homemade sauce and cheese and bake at 350 until the cheese melts then serve with sour cream and guacamole.

Sopes are little fried masa cups filled with beans and garnishes.

This is a quick and easy salsa. Use it as a condiment for enchiladas and tacos or as a dip for tortilla chips.

The classic quesadilla of Mexico is updated here with Brie cheese and sweetened nuts, and served as an appetizer with a bright and tangy salsa of fresh mango and pineapple. This salsa is also wonderful served on grilled chicken or fish.

Heat level is mild-medium. 30 minutes prep time.

Pricking the chilies releases some of the oils but keeps this sake from getting too spicy. You're not looking for a searing drink, just a good kick.

Soft on the inside and crisp on the outside, these potatoes will go very well with your next pot roast or steak. You can also use them to add a subtle Indian touch at breakfast by serving them with buttery scrambled eggs.

You can purchase cooked chicken at the deli and skip step 2.

Notes: Recipe is from FIJI. Feel free to substitute lobster or crabmeat for the shrimp.
