I hope you enjoy the flavors of some of the Mexican recipes offered here. Some are hot and spicy, others mild and smoky.

Some things to remember with Mexican food are with this cuisine, they roast tomatoes and garlic in a dry pan vs. our usual oven baked method.

Be sure to soak the peppers before using as the recipes say. Usually you do not want to use the soaking liquid in a dish because it is bitter. Taste it first and see before adding it to a dish.

Dried peppers are available today in most grocery stores, usually in the produce section.
