  • If you are using fresh beets, do not peel them before cooking. Cook in a small amount of water until tender about 15-18 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the size and how fresh the beets are. After cooking, reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water. When beets are slightly cooled, remove the skin by gently peeling it using a paper towel. You will see that the skin comes off really easy.
  • For the first layer, arrange in a large plate 3 large romaine lettuce leaves. Thinly slice the other 3 leaves and reserve.
  • Arrange the sliced (or diced) beets, plantain, jicama, and apples. Top with orange wedges, finely sliced lettuce and roasted peanuts.
  • For the dressing mix the reserved 1/2 cup of the beet cooking water, orange juice with sugar to taste, mix an drizzle over salad. Serve immediately.

  • Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar and shake the pan to spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the surface with just enough water to give the sugar the consistency of wet sand. Heat the sugar until it bubbles and begins to turn a very pale caramel colour. Add the pistachios to the pan and stir to cover with the melted sugar. Spread the candied pistachios out and allow them cool (try to separate them as much as possible). Once the pistachios have set you can break them apart by hand or chop them coarsely.
  • Peel the jicama and cut it into small batons. Place the jicama pieces in a bowl and toss with the lime juice.
  • Peel the beets and cut off the tops of the beets. To obtain the thin ribbons seen in the photo, use a spiralizer to cut the beets. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a mandoline or very sharp knife to cut very thin slices. Set the finished beets aside (don't combine them with the jicama or they will dye them red).
  • To prepare the oranges, cut off the ends and slicing the peels off, trying to leave as much of the flesh intact as possible. Slice the oranges into thin rounds. Alternately, you can cut the oranges into supremes by slicing the segments out from the membranes surrounding them.

  • Red Pork Tamales. Tamales are a popular Mexican snack of meat-filled dough wrapped in corn husks. Its sweet and savory flavor profile makes it wonderfully addictive.
  • Concha. Next up, let’s head straight to bread. Conchas are Mexican sweet breads (pan dulce) with a distinct, white, seashell-looking topping. The bread is light and airy, but what makes it super iconic is the topping, which is a creamy mix of powdered sugar and shortening.
  • Pozole Rojo. If you’re looking for comfort, that’s nothing a bowl of pozole rojo can’t provide. It’s a Mexican stew brimming with pork, white corn soaked in wine (hominy), red chiles, and an incredibly rich broth.
  • Chicken Pozole Verde. Here’s another cozy Mexican stew that’ll make you feel loved and happy. This version of pozole uses shredded chicken instead of the usual pork and green chile instead of red.
  • Mexican Cinnamon Cookies. Cookies are the universal feel-good food. And no matter what kind they are, they never fail to put one in a good mood. These Mexican cinnamon cookies are no exception.
  • Easy Pork Pozole Rojo (Posole) Here’s another pozole rojo recipe that’ll make you full and happy. This one is a lot easier to prepare than the first, so cooking amateurs, feel free to give this one a try.
  • Mexican Wedding Cookies. Mexican wedding pecan cookies are so incredibly light and airy, they melt in your mouth. Also, how pretty are they, am I right?
  • Easy Flan. Can you believe that as smooth, silky, and spectacular as flan is, it only calls for 5 simple ingredients? At least, this one does! This flan recipe is ridiculously easy, anyone can pull it off.
  • Champurrado. Champurrado is a thick Mexican beverage made of chocolate, piloncillo (cane sugar), and cornflour. Think of it as the country’s version of hot chocolate.
  • Mexican Ponche. Ponche is another Mexican beverage often served at Christmas. Just like the champurrado, it’s also served warm. But it’s not chocolatey, at all.
