About the book
If you think tacos are greasy, unhealthy fast food – think again. In her exciting new book, Laura Washburn will show you that tacos are so much more than minced beef and grated cheese in a crispy shell; they include fresh, tasty ingredients that are good for you. Tacos, burritos and quesadillas hail from Mexico and traditional recipes generally involve long- simmered meat or poultry, topped with crispy vegetables, wrapped or sealed in a soft flour or corn tortilla and served with a dollop of spicy salsa. It is street food par excellence and as the trend has grown, so have the options for fillings. This book offers a collection of recipes for taco, quesadilla and burrito fillings, with a good selection of contemporary twists to get you hooked on the taco-making and eating craze. Ideas for Tacos include Chipotle Chicken and Ancho Chilli- Roasted Butternut. More substantial Burritos include Chorizo, Bean and Pepper or Chicken Mole. Quesadillas are perfect for sharing – try a Ham and Egg Breakfast Quesadilla. Also included are ideas for Sides & Salsas as, often, a taco is only as good as the extra bits you add to it, such as Guacamole, Tomatillo Salsa and Baja Slaw.
My Thoughts
We love Mexican food. Anytime we can make some we do. But sometimes the problem is that we are always doing the same recipes. So when I saw this title I didn’t hesitate one minute and requested it to review. This book is small and sport a hardcover binding. The book contains four sections appropriately titled Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas, Sides + Salsa.
In it you will find recipes to help you create different types of tacos, burritos, quesadillas as well as salsa and side dishes for your Mexican meal. Each recipe comes with detailed instructions and list of ingredients as well as a mouth watering picture of the dish completed. Whether the recipe is for breakfast, lunch or supper time, you will have ideas to develop new flavours in your mouth and discover a new side of Mexican dishes.
The book is a perfect idea for the cook in your life as a stocking surprise or to encourage your family to expand their taste buds in 2013. I challenge you to try something new during the new year – why not new Mexican recipes with Tacos, Quesadillas, & Burritos?
Tacos, Quesadillas, & Burritos is available at your favourite bookstore, even amazon.ca and amazon.com.
