Really great flavor for this vegetarian dish (I always love the flavor of chipotle in adobo), but it was a half fail because of our tortilla issue -- see tips below. The next time we make this, I'll add a photo to this post.

Ingredients: corn tortillas, cauliflower, yellow onion, chipotle peppers in adobo, red enchilada sauce, pepper jack cheese, cheddar cheese, dried oregano, extra-virgin olive oil, Kosher salt

Honey Lime Avocado Crema Ingredients: avocado, cilantro, honey, garlic, lime juice, Kosher or flaky salt

Ingredients for Serving: salsa, shredded lettuce, pickled onions

Tips:

• The corn tortillas wouldn't fold over very well and turned out a bit chewy; use crispy taco shells instead next time
• Cut the cauliflower into small pieces

This was an unexpectedly great dish. It's an Asian-Mexican fusion vegetarian bowl. (Note: Blog contributor the grandcruman did not enjoy this dish as much as me -- he thought it was just ok.)

Ingredients: firm or extra-firm tofu, double-concentrated tomato paste, hot sauce, ground coriander, ancho chile powder or smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground fennel seeds, garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, Kosher salt

Bowl main ingredients/toppings: cooked white rice, shredded red cabbage, sliced avocado, crumbled queso fresco, cilantro, lime wedges

Tips:

• Make sure to add enough salt (we used Maldon sea salt to taste at the table)
• Used lettuce instead of cabbage
• For the photo, I forgot to add the queso fresco

Tips:

• Used 1/4 cup vodka and 1/4 cup broth

I was actually looking for a Cuban Sandwich recipe but came across this. Muy delicioso! It didn't taste like a Cuban, per se -- see the tips/suggestions below.

Ingredients: long grain rice, dry broken spaghetti or angel hair pasta, chicken breasts, swiss or mozzarella cheese, pepperoncini or dill pickles, black beans, cilantro, lime juice and zest, red bell pepper, yellow onion, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, extra-virgin olive oil, Kosher salt, black pepper

Tips:

• Turn on the oven when the chicken goes in the skillet.
• Mix in the black beans about 4 min before the rice is done.
• Add ham to the dish!!!
• Add more dill pickles on top when serving.
