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 city, is made by braising mild-flavored white fish (we used cod) in a savory sauce of chunky tomatoes, spices, and a bit of white wine for brightness. [ORDER NOW]( [Sopes with Tomatillo Chicken with Radishes and Queso Fresco]( Three popular street foods from one simple dough A popular street food, sopes are small, savory tarts with endlessly variable fillings. Traditionally, masa dough is flattened into small, thick disks that are cooked on an ungreased cast-iron pan called a comal. The edges are then pinched, 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 tricky. For a simpler recipe, we made a 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 puffed shells are stuffed with fillings) and panuchos (the puffed shells are stuffed with refried beans and then fried until golden brown and crispy). LEARN HOW: SOPES [Inside Spread: Learn How, Sopes]( [ORDER NOW]( [Ancho-Orange Pork Burritos]( Burritos with serious personality Burritos in American fast-food restaurants have a reputation for being overstuffed, overcheesed, and filled with bland ingredients. We took burritos to a whole other 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, fried, and then cooked again in a chile sauce. To 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. RATINGS OF KEY EQUIPMENT [Inside Spread: Ratings of Key Equipment]( [ORDER NOW]( [Tamales with Red Chile Chicken]( Tamales in less time Tamales are small, moist corn cakes that can be stuffed with a variety of fillings—usually shredded chicken, pork, or beef, or a combination of cheese and chiles. The filled corn cakes are wrapped in corn husks and steamed. Traditional tamales are a labor of love, from boiling and grinding corn for the dough to tying each tamale closed for steaming. Our recipe makes the process easier and faster, using readily available ingredients such as 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.
