Cook's Illustrated Mexican Favorites

Fans of the bold, fresh flavors of Mexican cooking will love this collection of foolproof recipes developed and perfected by the test cooks and editors at America's Test Kitchen.

Mexican restaurant menu staples get the test kitchen treatment as do less familiar, but authentic Mexican dishes. As always, we test every recipe 10, 20, sometimes 50 times to get it just right, so they cook up perfectly for you every time.

Cook's Illustrated Mexican Favorites includes over 40 foolproof recipes for appetizers, main dishes, sides, and desserts including Quick and Easy Quesadillas, Cheesy Nachos, Huevos Rancheros, Steak Fajitas, Black Bean Soup, Chicken Mole, Fresh and Grilled Tomato Salsa, Chunky Guacamole, Flan, Queso Fundido, Chicken Chilaquiles, Mexican Shredded Pork, Carnitas, Chili Verde, Flan, Tres Leches Cake, Mexican Wedding Cookies, and many more. Make your own homemade corn and flour tortillas (they're easy and the flavor is incredible!), and our version of Mexico's best-known cocktail, the Margarita (we include fresh pineapple and fresh strawberry variations, too).

A "Chilis 101" section tells you all you need to know about choosing between and cooking with over a dozen different chili peppers. Ratings of additional related ingredients, cookware, and tools are included to help you shop smart, and save time and money. And each issue we publish is 100% ADVERTISING FREE, so you get unbiased and objective information on every page.
