Published: Sep 8, 2011 · Updated: Aug 12, 2018 by Mely Martínez

JUMP TO RECIPE

This week’s post  has a collection of  typical taco fillings recipes, which my dear friend Pily is sharing with you. She, as well as many families in México, do, celebrates our Independence from Spain with a traditional party with friends and family. Pily’s love for our Mexican food prompted her to start a new blog: “La Cocina Mexicana de Pily”. I am sure you will enjoy these recipes as well as her Blog “ La Cocina de Pily”.

For this Independence Day, September 16th, we will have a TAQUIZA, mmmmm!!!!

It is well known that Tacos are a Mexican staple and that it is very easy to prepare different types of fillings to make tacos. These dishes are usually served typical buffet-style, a basket full of hand-made warm tortillas, some fresh made hot salsas, and everyone fixes themselves a taco with the filling of their choice.

This is a very easy way for you to make a Mexican Fiesta at home with your family and friends. The dishes can be prepared ahead of time and just warm up minutes before serving.
I want to dedicate this post to all the Expats living in México, facing a new culture and new food that they want to cook but do not know how to do it… and also to all the Mexicans living abroad (our beloved Paisanos) all over the world, who remember with nostalgia their country and its cuisine….. with much love! Here’s a bit of our country: And, well to everyone that comes to visit this kitchen. Gracias!
Enjoy it!

Poblano Peppers Strips with Cream/Rajas con Crema

Instructions:

Add the cream and stir to combine. Season with the chicken bullion to your liking. A lot of people also add corn kernels, but I prefer it this way. It’s optional if you would like to add the corn. (Please check the ingredients list below)

    Thank you so much for sharing this! I was in Mexico a few months back and fell in love with the people and culture. I can't wait to bring some Mexican cooking (that I miss so much) back into my house!

    Mely, I love all of your recipes, they are fabulous. Do you have a recipe for Carne en su Jugo? I need to know if the caldo consists of caldo de frijol and consome de pollo?

    Thank You

      Hello Ricarda,

      Carne en su jugo it's first marinated with lime juice, soy sauce and chicken broth. Then you fry bacon and onion. Cook the finely cut steak in the bacon fat rendered. It is served with beans and its broth, 'Frijoles de la Olla", chopped onion and cilantro.

      Enjoy!

      Hello Julie,

      The Chicken bullion in Mexico is used as a seasoning and it all depends of the cooks taste. Just add a pinch at a time and taste to your liking.

      Happy cooking!

    This is the first thing that I will make for my family once we move into our new house. I've already put up my
    house for sale and I'm making plans to make my family happy as soon as our feet get in the house.
