My husband loves, loves, LOVES the recipes I've gotten out of this cookbook! (Somehow a Scandinavian man has managed to develop quite a taste for spicy foods!) Our favorites are the Beef Chimichangas, Chicken Chimichangas, Frito Pie (yes, made with Fritos -- try it!), Corn Fritters (we add jalapenos), Asparagus with Avocado, and Spicy Shrimp Chowder. For appetizers, we like the Jalapeno Poppers and Texas Cavier especially. There are also some wonderful vegetarian offerings, in fact an entire chapter on Vegetarian Tex-Mex. Some of our faves include the Chile Rellenos Casserole, Quesadilles (our kids' favorite), and the Spinach Enchiladas. In fact, sometimes what I do is hold part of the recipe back for the kids before adding the jalapenos, spices, etc., so I've found that I can satisfy the whole family with these recipes. I especially liked the glossary in the back that explains Tex-Mex cooking terms . . . very informative.
This is another one of Linda's wonderful offerings to the world of food. I have become quite a junkie of her cookbooks!
