First off today, Tessa Marshal (heroine from Desire and DeceptionΒ byΒ Sahara Roberts) shares with us some really great Mexican recipes. Β Enjoy!

Hi, my name is Tessa Marshal. We met not so long ago on the pages of Desire and Deception. I hear some people out there arenβt familiar with Mexican food. You donβt know what youβre missing! Hereβs a few of the dishes I enjoyed while I was in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. Hopefully you can find a good Mexican restaurant in your area so you can have a taste.
Huachinango a la Veracruzana – Veracruz style red snapper
Yes, Iβm still practicing how to say this in Spanish because it was so good. The red snapper is prepared with onion, tomato, capers, and green olives. Iβm so glad Monica suggested that seafood restaurant by the hotel.
Chef was such a flirtβ¦not that I should be saying that where Kris could read it.

Fajita tacos
Iβll be honest, these tacos are pork carnitas, but theyβre the closest I could come to what I had. Every time I fix fajita tacos for a picture we end up eating them before I can think to pull out a phone or a camera.

Pan dulce – Sweet bread
Mexican style sweet bread isnβt really sweet. I found I liked the conchas Kris brought, especially when I had them with hot coffee. Though Iβm still trying to decide which flavor I like best.

Coctel de camaron β Shrimp cocktail
Now this is a very different way of having shrimp cocktail. In Texas we dip shrimp in sauce. But after trying this tangy version, thereβs no going back.

Chicharones
I saw Cruz out in the yard with one of these huge pork skins. I didnβt know they came in a jumbo size.
