Los Barrios Family Cookbook

Los Barrios Family Cookbook offers the best of Tex-Mex cooking and dozens of family recipes, many of which have been handed down through the generations. The dishes feature easy-to-obtain ingredients and directions that produce what the restaurant calls casero cooking--(or homestyle). Many of the recipes include informative notes about the origins of the fare, as well as special cooking tips and make-ahead instructions. Recipes include: Acapulco-style Ceviche, Chilaquiles Verdes, Tacos de Chorizos con Papa y Queso (Chorizo, Potato, and Cheese Tacos), Asado de Puerco (Pork Tips in Red Chile Sauce), Chicken and Spinach Enchiladas, lots of different chalupas, and, of course, the ultimate margarita. Also included is an excellent section on what to stock in your pantry.
