About the Author
Introduction
“Comiendo Sabroso”, let’s eat something deliciously tasty! This recipe book is the follow-up to my first recipe book, “Corazón Contento”, and it includes forty recipes of authentic Mexican food that you can easily prepare in the comfort of your home. These recipes will bring Mexico to your table, no matter how big or small your kitchen is.
I have decided to include a different range of tacos in my books because ‘taco’ is a way of eating rather than a dish that comes from Mexico, unlike how many people worldwide know it. Thanks to television and how North Americans promote their version of tacos, a taco has long been popularly considered as just a crispy shell filled with seasoned minced meat with salad and cheese sauce. However, a taco in Mexico is a way to eat any meat or stew that has been typically cooked for the day. Tortillas are served warm and wrapped in a cloth. All you need to do is roll up a tortilla on its own or fill it with the meat or stew of the day. Now that’s a taco!
Therefore, to me, tacos are generously filled with anything my mom has cooked for the day, i.e. any meat, vegetable, legume, salad, herbs or seafood. Similarly, I am sharing three different kinds of enchiladas in this book. Like a taco, it is a way to prepare a dish. Enchilada is not a single recipe; there are a wide variety of enchiladas catered for families in Mexico. I have included some recipes that you can easily prepare at home.
My main intention in this book is to share what cooking knowledge I have inherited from my mom and what I have learned in the time I spent actively cooking Mexican cuisine in Bangkok, Thailand and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As a token of appreciation to these countries who have received and accepted me in their communities with my definition of authentic Mexican cuisine, I feel that I should present back what I’ve learned to this part of the country I know.
I was lucky to have visited other countries in the Asian region, such as Japan, China, Singapore and Myanmar. I am deeply honoured to have been invited by the locals. Locals who are now my friends! To cook what I know and enjoy my cuisine.
Despite what many may think of the relationship between Mexico and the USA, I have learned that most of my food supporters are Americans. So, I sincerely thank them for their applause and encouragement that keeps me going in what I do.
Over the years, I have noted down many recipes; I call them my hidden notes. I am working on putting all these notes together in a series of recipe books. Meanwhile, I hope you’ll enjoy cooking and eating these recipes I’ve shared here and the ones in my previous book, “Corazon Contento”.
Thanks

Chapter I
Sauces
Green Sauce
Salsa Verde Cruda
Ingredients
1. 4 pieces of green Anaheim chillies
2. ¼ of a white onion
3. 1 clove of fresh garlic
4. 1 to 2 pieces of fresh green bird’s eye chilli
5. 50 g of fresh cilantro leaves
6. 3 fresh limes, juiced
7. 1 tablespoon white vinegar
8. ½ teaspoon of salt

 
Method
1. Roughly chop the chillies, onion and garlic, then break them down with a mortar and pestle.
2. Chop the cilantro stalks into small pieces and add them to the mix in the mortar.
3. Mix and break the ingredients to your desired texture.
4. Add the salt and lime juice and mix them well.
5. Check the seasoning and adjust to taste.
6. Add the white vinegar and mix them.
7. Serve chilled.
Tips:
I like my sauces quite chunky. However, the sauce can be as rough or smooth as you prefer, and you can also use the most convenient electric food processor or a blender to make this deliciously spicy, sour, and savoury sauce.
Pickled Habanero and Red Onion
Salsa de Habanero con Cebolla Morada
Ingredients
1. 100 g of fresh habanero chillies
2. 100 g of red onion
3. 50 ml of fresh lime juice
4. 20 ml of white vinegar
5. 20 g of salt
6. 5 g of brown sugar (optional)

 
Method
1. Slice the habanero chilli and the red onion in fine julienne cut.
2. Mix well in a bowl with lime juice, vinegar and salt.
3. Use the brown sugar to balance the acidity if you like it less sour.
4. Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving.
Tips:
This salsa is typically served with cochinita pibil ; however, it will go great with tacos, burritos, or meat with rice. If you don’t have access to fresh habanero chilli in your locality, you can try the spiciest chilli available in your local market. The result will be decently similar but most likely less spicy.
Drunken Sauce
Salsa Borracha
“ Borracha ” means drunk, as we use a bit of alcoholic drink in the sauce. It can be tequila, rum, whiskey, gin, a favourite beer, or mezcal. You can even use pulque, Soto, sake, Shoju; you name it. As the sauce cooks, the alcohol will evaporate, leaving the flavour and fragrance of the drink in the sauce.
If you are the one that loves the extreme heat caused by chilli and without the need for a fancy hot pepper, here is your answer. This sauce is for the braves that dare to challenge Moctezuma the Aztec Emperor. It is also the favourite of taco lovers.
Ingredients
1. 500 g of dry chillies
2. 200 g of red bird’s eye chilli
3. 100 g of red anaheim chilli
4. 90 ml of white tequila
5. 1 white onion peeled and sliced
6. 4 garlic cloves peeled, chopped
7. 1 bunch of fresh, finely chopped cilantro leaf
8. 3 fresh limes, juiced
9. 1 teaspoon of salt
10. ½ teaspoon of black pepper
11. 4 tablespoons of white vinegar
12. ½ cup of cooking oil
