Oaxacan-style moles are represented with Chicken Mole Poblano and Pan-Roasted Cod with Amarillo Sauce. Yucatán-Style Barbecued Pork (traditionally made by cooking a whole suckling pig in a roasting pit) is transformed into a dish you can make at home using pork shoulder and a combined grill-oven smoking method. Fish Veracruz, which originated in that seaside town, is made by braising mild-flavored white fish (we used cod) in a savory sauce of chunky (canned) tomatoes, spices, and a bit of white wine for brightness. [Save 40% now]( [Sopes with Tomatillo Chicken with Radishes and Queso Fresco]( Three popular street foods from one simple dough Sopes are small, savory tarts with endlessly variable fillings that are a popular street food. Traditionally, masa-based dough is flattened into small thick disks that are cooked on an ungreased cast-iron pan called a comal. The edges are then pinched up, and the sopes are shallow-fried. Two problems emerged as we began developing a foolproof recipe: Many home cooks don’t have access to fresh masa, and handling hot dough was a nonstarter. For a simpler, less painful recipe, we made a simple dough using readily available masa harina (corn flour), and shaped the dough into sopes before cooking. Frying the raw shells in oil produced greasy results, so we parcooked the shells in a dry skillet before frying, which created crispy outsides and tender insides. We offer recipes for four simple, flavorful fillings. The same dough is used to make two other popular street foods: Gorditas (the shells are puffed and stuffed with fillings) and Panuchos (the shells are puffed and stuffed with refried beans, then fried until golden-brown and crispy).

We took burritos to a whole new level by creating a filling based on a classic Mexican pork preparation called chilorio. In traditional chilorio, the pork is slowly simmered until it is fall-apart tender, pulled into bite-size pieces and fried, and then cooked again in a chile sauce. To simplify and streamline, we cooked boneless pork butt slowly and gently in the oven in a base of orange juice, vinegar, chiles, garlic, bay leaves, oregano, and cumin. While the pork cooled, we defatted and pureed the braising liquid to create a deeply flavorful sauce for the shredded pork. This pork deserves to be the star of the show, so a simple herbed rice was all we needed to complete our burritos—no cheese, beans, or guacamole necessary.

The filled corn cakes are wrapped in corn husks and steamed. Traditional tamales are a labor of love; from boiling and grinding masa for the dough to tying each tamale closed for steaming. Our recipe makes the process easier and faster, using readily available ingredients like frozen corn and grits, and a rolling and steaming technique that eliminates the need for tying. We offer two fillings: meltingly tender and spicy Chipotle Beef, and a subtly sweet and spicy Red Chile Chicken.
