MEXICAN BUILD-UP



Mexican Build-Up image

We have enjoyed this dish from the Denver Post since the '70's. It's a filling, versatile type of a taco salad and/ or burrito filling.The rice makes the sauce wonderfully thick. My kids really love it! I like to serve both corn chips, tortillas, little bowls of chopped lettuce, avocado, green onions, sliced black olives, shredded cheddar cheese, etc. and let each person BUILD-UP their own plate. (If you have some already cooked frozen ground beef (OAMC) this can be assembled quickly). Warning: this is so good you will overeat every time you make this meal (if you're anything like me!)

  • Grilled Mexican Street Corn (Eloté) Mexican street corn – also known as eloté – is one of my all-time favorite summer side dishes or snacks. There are variations on how it’s served, but the street food version features a whole ear of corn cooked on a grill.
  • Bionicos (Mexican Fruit Bowls) If you love fruit parfait, you have to try bionicos. Made with fruit, a creamy yogurt sauce, and your favorite toppings, they’re the best way to start your day.
  • Agua Fresca de Tamarindo (Made With Tamarind Pods) Tamarindo is one of the most beloved flavors of Agua Fresca, a wildly popular drink of fruits, cereals, or seeds with water and sugar.
  • Mexican Churros. Authentic churros are a fantastic street food that’s super fun to make at home. Light and airy, they’re best served with plenty of cinnamon sugar, making them crispy, sweet, and warm.
  • Gorditas. Gorditas are little corn cakes made with masa harina, water, and salt. So they’re a lot like tortillas, only they’re served a bit differently.
