As much as Rick Bayless loves the bold flavors of Mexican food, he understands that preparing many Mexican specialties requires more time than most of us have for weeknight dinners. Mexican Everyday is written with an understanding of how busy we all are. It is a collection of 90 full-flavored recipes--like Green Chile Chicken Tacos, Shrimp Ceviche Salad, Chipotle Steak with Black Beans--that meet three criteria for "everyday" food: 1) most need less than 30 minutes' involvement; 2) they have the fresh, delicious taste of simple, authentic preparations; and 3) they are nutritionally balanced, fully rounded meals--no elaborate side dishes required. Filled with recipes featured on Rick's Public Television series, Mexico--One Plate at a Time, this book provides dishes you can enjoy with family and friends, day in and day out.
