Pro Tips & Cooking Tricks

1

Toast dried chilies and spices before using - 30 seconds in dry pan transforms flavor, adds depth and complexity

2

Fresh lime juice elevates everything - squeeze over tacos, in salsas, on grilled meats for bright acidity

3

Charred vegetables add authentic flavor - blackened peppers, tomatoes, and onions bring smoky street-food taste

4

Make fresh pico de gallo and guacamole - takes 10 minutes, infinitely better than jarred versions

5

Do not skip cilantro alternatives if it tastes soapy - parsley, culantro, or extra lime provide freshness without that gene-based soap taste

6

Warm tortillas properly - dry skillet, 30 seconds per side, keep warm wrapped in towel for soft, pliable texture
