A four-bite version of the classic Mexican sandwich. We used flap meat, a thin steak that marinates and grills quickly.

Recipe: Chile and Lime Steak Tortas

A nod to nacho cheese dip, but with fresh chiles and a bold chipotle flavor.

Recipe: Smoky Five-Pepper Cheese Dip

Who needs the deep fryer when you can bake a flaky crust?

Recipe: Poblano and nopales chimichangas

A twist on the classic tequila sunrise, with bright purple, subtly floral, and plum-flavored prickly pear syrup in place of grenadine.

Recipe: Tequila Sunset

These jams are sure to keep the party going (along with those tequila sunsets, of course).
