Celebrate Hispanic Heritage month with a loaded Molcajete Mixto

Today is the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month.  From September 15 through October 15, we celebrate the rich history, culture and all the contributions our Hispanic ancestors introduced to America.  I love this time of the year because it’s very festive and it includes Dia de la Raza on October 12.

Once Hispanic Heritage Month ends, we are well into the autumn and the celebration continues with Dia de Muertos and posadas.  It’s just a very happy time of the year for us.

When a celebration is involved, so is food!  With food comes stories, laughter and love.  One of my favorite dishes to celebrate the beginning of Hispanic History Month is with a loaded Molcajete Mixto.  It has beef, shrimp, chorizo (or longaniza), queso fresco, nopales, salsa, roasted jalapeños and green onions. Because we still have summer-like weather,  it’s the perfect feast to enjoy outside.  All the ingredients can be cooked on the grill outside or inside.  It’s up to you.

The best part about this dish is the presentation.  A pachanga in a bowl as I like to call it.  Every one dig in!  Wrap it up in warm corn tortillas and a disfrutar!
