Mexican cuisine has become a staple of American restaurant culture-and this book brings it home. With 100 step-by-step main recipes and more than 250 variations, and 350 full-color photographs, Knack Mexican Cooking shows readers how to recreate the incredible spices and aromas of their favorite Mexican restaurant in their own kitchens. Using fiery chilies, tomatoes, peppers, avocados, beans, and corn, they will master everything from staples like Mexican rice, beans, tortillas, and vegetables; tortas and tacos; moles and menudos; salsas and ceviches; to a slew of specialties from south of the border.
