Okay, there are probably many good Mexican food recipes, but my favorite is one that, while traditional, is probably not recognized as a Mexican recipe. However, I found it in a traditional book of Mexican recipes, and it has always been a favorite for company. It's called Chicken in Orange Sauce, and it is WAY easy to make.

10-12 chicken tenders or four half-breasts of boneless chicken cut up into chunks

Salt and pepper to taste

Ground cinnamon to taste

Ground cloves to taste

Olive oil for saut

Enchiladas are yummy. You can find canned enchilada sauce in grocery stores. I soften the tortillas by dipping them in enchilada sauce that I have heated up in a pan. Then put shredded chicken or beef, or just cheese if you want and roll them up. Put them in a baking pan, then pour any left over enchilada sauce on top, top with cheese and bake for about 20 minutes. Refried beans are good too. Mexican rice is easy to make and adds a lot of flavor to any meal.

You can also make taquitos, by softening the tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds, rolling some shredded meat inside, then frying until crisp. Be sure to secure with a toothpick before frying, then remove it afterwards. Serve with sour cream and guacamole.

Also, ceviche, chile verde, chorizo and eggs, steak ranchera. I love mexican food and make it several times a week. Check out this website, he has some nice recipes for mexican food. Open Original Shared Link

Thanks, I added the website to my favorites. I already see one I'm making next week.

I don't know if you can get these locally, but our local grocery stores carry XOCCHiTL corn chips. They're hot and spicy, super thin & gluten-free. They're in a brown bag with a little cellophane window in the front. You hit on a favorite topic of mine because I couldn't tolerate corn for quite awhile, and I'm really happy to add corn and dairy back into our diet.

Anyway, we had a great meal tonight and it was simple. I tossed a layer of the corn chips (they're super thin) on a plate, crumbled cheese on top (I used Mexican queso or crumbling cheese, some smoked chicked (because I had it, but left-over rotisserie would have worked, or any other left over protein. I made guacamole with an avacado, some lime juice and a chopped plum tomato. The queso cheese isn't that tasty, so I was going to shred some sharp cheddar, but that would have involved opening a new package of cheese. So I just dumped some feta cheese on there and nuked it briefly.

Toss 1/3 of a can (preheated) black or other beans on after microwaving. Serve with salsa and guacamole.

Loved it, filled us up, used up leftovers, would have been better if I had carmelized some oneion and sauted some pepper, but for a quick put together meal it was great, and satisfied the desire for a Mexican meal. (Actually, my desire was for a quick meal without hassle, so it worked in reverse.) :D

All sorts of yummy stuff from enchiladas (with non-tomato sauces) to sopes to chicken mole to stuffed poblanos to corn tortillas to tamales to poblano soup.

One of the very top Mexican chefs in the US (Chicago) has great authentic recipes on his website. They are what I use most. You have likely heard of him - his name is Rick Bayless.

You are welcome! Bayless is revered and world renowned when it comes to Mexican.

I tried several cheeses while in Croatia and Italy a month ago and was fine. However, here I am limited but at least I can have aged cheeses and sheep cheese. Still cannot drink milk or eat ice cream but I have excellent alternatives! :D

      Energy drink can has stains - potential gluten?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      It wasnt really eye catching, but they were small stains which looked like dried out liquid. I dont know if it was normal or shouldve been just completely clean. But if someone didnt pay attention, it wouldnt be noticeable.

      If there were stains or particles on a drink can in an area that would either contact the drink or my lips, I would wash that can whether or not I had celiac disease.

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      You are on the money, but I should also add that Italian, French and other countries research shows exactly what I have said. Our FDA is behind the ball when it comes to this research and I am hopeful that Kennedy can straighten this out soon, albeit he is giving the food companies too long to just remove food dyes from our foods when in fact they have to remove all that in order to sell for example, in the UK as they aren't allowed such things. The food companies and the cola companies have also changed their formulas to have just sugar in them instead of corn gluten aka high fructose corn syrup and corn starch in them. Misinformation here in America is a very dangerous thing. I also have been grain free for a long time now and at no time can I even have the smallest amount of corn gluten -I recently got glutened from a supplement that claimed to be grain free yet upon further research I found that it had erythritol (corn sugar) in it and that is what got me sick for 7 days straight. I am not hopeful to ever be able to add back into my diet any of the grain glutens, but perhaps those who were only gluten intolerant might be able to, but for me being celiac, I have no hope in that. Thank you for the article, I will add it to my collection of research as I am collecting everything I can find on this subject and posting it on X as well as other places.  I also don't use psuedo grains i.e. quinoa as that also reacts negatively with my gut, so I am 100% a cassava/tapioca/arrow root girl and that is my go to bread replacement. There are some new items made with chicpea/green peas that are sold as rice alternatives, i bought one to try but haven't yet. So food companies are getting creative, but like you said, I am fresh whole foods and don't buy many processed foods, I make my own cheese, ketchup, pickles, jams, etc.

      There were small spots (stains) on the drinking area at the top of the energy drinks can from the store that looked as the same color as milk — maybe oat milk (Hafermilch) or a wheat-based drink (Weizendrink), but I’m not sure what it was. There were also some particles that looked like either flour or dust, but not many. Could it have been a gluten-containing drink spilled onto the can or just regular small stains which I shouldn‘t worry about? Do you watch out for stuff like that or am I overthinking? Would it cause damage to a celiac?

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      This is such an important discussion! While corn gluten (zein) is structurally different from wheat gluten, emerging research suggests some celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals may still react to it, whether due to cross-reactivity, inflammation, or other factors. For those with non-responsive celiac disease or ongoing symptoms, eliminating corn—especially processed derivatives like corn syrup—might be worth exploring under medical guidance. That said, corn’s broader health impact (GMOs, digestibility, nutritional profile) is a separate but valid concern. Like you mentioned, ‘gluten-free’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘healthy,’ and whole, unprocessed foods are often the safest bet. For those sensitive to corn, alternatives like quinoa, rice, or nutrient-dense starches (e.g., sweet potatoes) can help fill the gap. Always fascinating (and frustrating) how individualized this journey is—thanks for highlighting these nuances! Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
