  • Spanish rice

      Oh my - this was delicious; of course it was indulgent with one stick of butter! But it makes a ton. It does require more than a ten minute cook time after the initial boil, more like 15-20 minutes per usual rice instructions.

  • Easy rice pudding (Arroz con leche)

    • Shelmar on September 05, 2019

      Easy and good, not too sweet. Have never had it at her restaurant, not sure it is on the menu.

Publishers Text

Los Barrios Family Cookbook offers the best of Tex-Mex cooking and dozens of family recipes, many of which have been handed down through the generations. The dishes feature easy-to-obtain ingredients and directions that produce what the restaurant calls casero cooking--(or homestyle). Many of the recipes include informative notes about the origins of the fare, as well as special cooking tips and make-ahead instructions.


Recipes include: Acapulco-style Ceviche, Chilaquiles Verdes, Tacos de Chorizos con Papa y Queso (Chorizo, Potato, and Cheese Tacos), Asado de Puerco (Pork Tips in Red Chile Sauce), Chicken and Spinach Enchiladas, lots of different chalupas, and, of course, the ultimate margarita. Also included is an excellent section on what to stock in your pantry.
