Conchas are Mexican sweetened bread rolls with a crunchy topping. Always a crowd favorite! I got this recipe from my friend's mom, who owns a Mexican bakery. They made these one day for my family, and they loved them — even my brother, who is so picky. Now they ask for them all the time. Although these are a bit time-consuming, they're well worth it in the end!

Hot or cold outside, this sopa de lima recipe (Mexican lime soup) is light and refreshing. I first enjoyed this dish while sitting by the ocean in Mexico. It goes great with a margarita or beer and a side of chips and salsa. Use whatever chiles you want (hot or mild), depending on the amount of heat you enjoy. Serve it in bowls with crushed tortilla chips or strips on top.

My mom is from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and this is how she has been making rice all her life. One day I finally stopped and measured the amounts she used while cooking. In my view this is the perfect Mexican rice. It's not too greasy or dry, nice color, and great flavor. The Serrano pepper will add flavor but no heat to this recipe since it is used whole and not chopped. If you would like spicy Mexican rice, de-seed and chop the Serrano before adding it to the mix.
