Brown Sugar – This is the star of the show in this recipe! I use this for a rub and a glaze so that there’s double the deliciousness!

It is the holiday season which is always my favorite time of year when it comes to food. This brown sugar glaze is a perfect sauce to pour on ultimately anything.

This is my go-to ham glaze recipe. I love how the molasses in the light brown sugar really brings the flavor to life in this glaze. And although I typically serve this on a baked ham, I also like to drizzle it over desserts such as cakes, cookies, or even side dishes like my Balsamic Brussel Sprouts.

This Sofritas recipe is a spicy tofu dish that is packed with flavor and a delicious base for any Latin American dish.

Sofritas is a Latin American dish that is packed with a lot of flavor and heat. If you do not like spicy food, not to worry, with this recipe you can adjust the spice to your liking.

Recently Chipotle added sofritas to their menu as a protein option which is great for a vegan diet and when you’re on the go, but I personally prefer making it at home from scratch on top of White Rice with a side of my Mexican Pinto Bean Soup.

Why We Love This Recipe

  • The flavors in this dish are one of a kind. It is not something that you can get anywhere so I love how original this dish is.
  • Tofu is a super food, really high in protein and really low in calories which makes it the perfect meat substitute in this recipe and in my 15 Minute Kung Pao Tofu.

Recipe Ingredients

Ingredients for sofritas.

Tofu: I simply LOVE tofu. It has great texture and melds with any flavor and is a great source of protein.

Poblano peppers are a staple in Latin American cooking. I love the mild and earthy flavor they give off. They’re the perfect addition to this recipe and they’re also great on top of my Asadero Cheese and Steak Tacos.

*See recipe card below for full list of ingredients.

How To Make Sofritas

Step #1: Lightly oil the poblano pepper in olive oil and place on a sheet pan in your oven to broil for 5 minutes then flip and broil again on the other side.

Step #2: After the poblano has been removed from the oven and cooled, remove the stem and seeds and roughly chop into pieces to better fit into the blender.

Step #3: Next, heat a Tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the onions and a pinch of salt and cook until onions are caramelized, 3-5 minutes.

Step #4: Next add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Step #5: Then add in the tomato paste, cumin, oregano, chipotle chili powder, and a teaspoon of salt and black pepper. Add in the tomatoes and cook everything together until the tomatoes have softened, about 5 minutes.

Step #6: While the tomato mixture is cooking, cut the tofu into 4 cubes and using a tea towel or paper towels, squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can. From there crumble the tofu into pea sized pieces.

Step #7: Next, move the tomato mixture into the blender or food processor and add in the cooked poblano pepper and blend until roughly smooth and set aside.

Step #8: Heat another Tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu in one layer to the pan and let cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring. Then flip and continue cooking for about 10 minutes until the tofu has mostly browned.

Step #9: Then pour in the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes while stirring. As it starts to thicken, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 3-5 minutes until the tofu has soaked in the sauce flavor.

FAQs

Are sofritas vegan?

Yes! With the primary ingredient being tofu this recipe is Vegan.

How do I store leftover sofritas?

You can store this recipe in an airtight container in your fridge for 3-4 days. If you are wanting to freeze your sofritas you can do so in an airtight container in your freezer for up to 2 months.

How do I reheat sofritas?

To reheat your leftovers you can do so either on the stove top over medium high heat or in your microwave until everything has warmed through. If you are reheating on the stovetop you may want to add in a splash or two of water if needed.

What should I serve with sofritas?

My favorite way to eat sofritas is in a burrito bowl similar to chipotle. I love having it over cilantro lime rice, black beans, and corn or corn salsa. Then I always top it with fajita veggies, Homemade Salsa, guacamole, and tortilla chips on the side.

Expert Tips

If you want to adjust the spice level you can do so by the amount of chipotle peppers you want to use. Less peppers = Less spice and More Peppers = More Spice.

This Coconut Curry Salmon recipe is a delightful fusion of flavors, combining the natural richness of salmon with the aromatic and creamy elements of coconut and curry.

Salmon is one of those super foods that tastes good and is good for you. If you love salmon then you must also try my Asian Salmon, Mango Habanero Salmon, and Roast Salmon Provencal.

Coconut curry sauce being poured over rice and salmon.

One thing I love about salmon is that you can really make it taste like any flavor simply by the ingredients you use. Salmon has this light fish flavor and so if you add in strong flavors such as coconut and curry that’s what you end up tasting.

When the salmon is cooked in the coconut curry sauce, it absorbs the flavors of the sauce, resulting in a harmonious combination. The richness of the salmon complements the creaminess of the coconut milk, while the spices add depth and complexity to the overall taste.

How to make Coconut Curry Salmon

Assemble your ingredients. For exact amounts see the recipe card below.

Ingredients for salmon coconut curry.

Preheat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with foil.

In a small bowl combine the oil, light brown sugar curry powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to make a rub for the salmon. Note: if you think the rub is too thick you can add another ½-1 teaspoon of oil.

Next, place your salmon skin side down on your prepared baking sheet and coat it in the rub.

Bake for 8-12 minutes until the salmon can be flaked off with a fork and it reaches your preferred level of doneness, but at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

While the salmon filets are baking, prepare the coconut curry sauce.

In a medium skillet over medium to medium-high heat, add in the garlic and freshly grated ginger and sauté for 3 minutes.

FAQs

Can I use a different fish for this recipe?

Of course! Any flaky fish similar to salmon such as cod or halibut would be a great substitution. If you are looking for a vegetarian/vegan option tofu would work in this dish as well!

Can I add in more vegetables to this recipe?

Why not? There are times I just want a veggie packed meal and you can absolutely add more to this recipe! I would recommend bell peppers, peas, broccoli, or even some bok choy!

Storage and Reheating

You can store this recipe in an airtight container in your fridge for 2-3 days. To reheat you can do so in a pan over medium heat until everything has warmed through. You can also reheat in the microwave until everything has warmed through.

What is a Frittata?

A frittata is an Italian dish that is egg-based and filled with additional ingredients such as cheese, vegetables, or even proteins. It is very similar to a quiche, but it doesn’t have the crust that quiche’s typically do. If you’re a fan of this frittata concept, you might also want to explore our Mushroom Leek Frittata recipe.

  • Whether it’s a family brunch or a potluck, potato frittata is a crowd-pleaser. Its delightful flavors and filling nature make it a dish that everyone enjoys.

Recipe Ingredients

Ingredients for a potato frittata on a table.
  • Eggs: Eggs make the frittata soft and hold all the ingredients together. They mix the tastes well, making each bite delicious and smooth.
  • Potatoes: Potatoes make the frittata hearty. They’re like a soft base, soaking up all the yummy flavors. If you love potatoes, be sure to explore our Potato Chip Spanish Tortilla recipe too!
  • Gruyere Cheese: This cheese makes the frittata creamy and cheesy.
  • Spinach: Spinach gives a fresh, green taste.
  • Green Onions: Green onions add a zesty taste, making the frittata more interesting.

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Variations

  • Bacon and Parmesan: Cook slices of bacon, rough chop the bacon, then mix with large eggs, grated parmesan cheese, and sautéed garlic. Bake in the oven for a savory twist on the classic frittata.
  • Mediterranean Delight: Create a Mediterranean-inspired frittata with fresh parsley, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and diced tomatoes.
  • Creamy Dream: Whisk large eggs with heavy cream for a luscious base. Add sautéed potatoes, onions, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for a creamy, indulgent frittata that’s a real treat.

How to Make a Potato Frittata

Step #1: In a large pot, boil water, add the potato cubes, and boil for 3-5 minutes until they are just tender.

Step #4: Then, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add in your olive oil.

Step #6: Next, cover with a lid and cook for 10-15 minutes gently shaking the pan every few minutes. Once the eggs are no longer runny and the frittata can easily be pulled from the bottom of the skillet it is ready to be turned.

Step #7: Using a plate that is slightly larger than your skillet in diameter, put it on top of the skillet and flip the frittata onto the other side. Then place the flipped frittata back into the skillet to cook the other side for 2-5 minutes, this time without covering.

Step #8: When the frittata is fully cooked remove it from the pan and flip it back over onto a serving plate. This allows the pretty side to be up.

 Step #9: Finally, garnish with green chives on top, serve, and enjoy!

  • Boiling Potatoes: First, boil potato pieces for 3-5 minutes until they’re soft but not too mushy. This way, they’ll be perfect in your frittata.
  • Spread Ingredients Evenly: When pouring the frittata mix into the pan, ensure the even distribution of the potatoes. That way, every bite will taste just right.
  • Nail the Flip: To get your frittata looking great, use a plate a bit bigger than your pan when flipping it. This trick keeps it in shape and looking good.
  • Add Chives for Freshness: Sprinkle green chives on top of your potato frittata at the end. They’ll make it look fresh and colorful, and they taste good too.

How to Make Birria Tacos

Step #1: In a large Dutch oven, add the meat, onion, garlic bulb, carrots, bay leaves, and dried peppers. Then, cover the ingredients with water.

Step #2: Next, add in the chicken bouillon, oregano, cumin, and salt and stir to combine. Bring to a boil.

Step #3: After 30 minutes, skim the top of the pot to remove any impurities from the bone cooking out. (This looks like bits of foam on the top). At this point, it will look like a beef stew, but we are making tacos!

Step #4: Then, remove the guajillo chiles from the pot and place them in a blender with ¼-½ cup of broth and blend until smooth.

Step #5: If necessary, strain the blended chilies to remove the skin bits and return the mixture to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step #6: Add the chili powder and cover the pot.

Step #7: Cover the pot and continue to simmer for about 2 ½ hours until the meat is tender and will shred on its own. Be sure to stir every 30 minutes or so.

Step #8: After it has cooked, turn off the heat and remove the meat pieces from the pot to shred. Be sure to remove and throw away the bones in the process.

Step #9: After shredding the meat, use a ladle to skim off any excess grease that rises to the surface of the cooking liquid. Then, use the ladle to transfer the broth from the pot to a large bowl on the side. This is the sauce you will use for making your tacos.

Step #10: Time to assemble the tacos. To start, grab a large cast iron skillet and heat it on your stovetop over medium heat.

Step #11: Dip a corn tortilla into the reserved sauce and place it in the skillet. On one side of the taco, add your quesadilla cheese and shredded meat, creating quesabirria tacos. Fold over the other half of the tortilla and cook each side until you get a nice crisp exterior. Repeat with the remainder of the ingredients.

Step #12: Then, in a small bowl or ramekin, add additional broth from the pot and top with chopped white onion and fresh cilantro for dipping your beef birria tacos.

Finally, serve with lime wedges on the side and enjoy!

Expert Tips

  • Choice of Meat: Using a combination of chuck roast and short ribs enriches the flavor profile, ensuring that the tacos are juicy, tender, and loaded with taste.

  • Skimming Process: Regularly skim off impurities and excess grease throughout cooking. This results in a more refined taste and texture in the final dish.
  • Broth Usage: Saving and using the broth for dipping adds another dimension of flavor, keeping the taco moist and enhancing the overall eating experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a birria taco?

A birria taco is a Mexican dish, featuring stewed, spiced meat, usually served inside a crispy tortilla and accompanied by a savory broth for dipping.

How can I keep birria tacos warm for a crowd?

What kind of cheese do you put on birria tacos?

People usually use quesadilla, Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese because of their excellent melting properties and mild flavors.

Can I use flour tortillas instead of corn?

Can I serve Mexican rice alongside birria tacos?

Storage Info

To store birria tacos, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. If there’s leftover meat, freeze it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw and reheat, the air fryer works best. Set it to 350°F (180°C), lay out the tacos, and heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Check every 2 minutes to avoid burning. Alternatively, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), use a wire rack, and bake the tacos for 10 to 12 minutes until warm in the middle. Serve promptly.
