San Antonio, Texas

With a large Mexican-American population, it's no surprise that San Antonio's culture, including its food, is deeply influenced by our neighbor to the south. Exceptional Tex-Mex and traditional Mexican fare is found throughout the vibrant city, which draws around 21 million visitors a year. Although touristy, the city’s River Walk is an excellent place to stroll before stopping for margaritas and regional cuisine at one of the pretty waterside restaurants. But, some of San Antonio’s best Mexican food is found at Rosario’s, located in the Southtown neighborhood. San Antonians and tourists alike vie for tables at the colorful establishment, where adventurous eaters take delight in menu items like grilled sweetbreads and beef tongue simmered in tomato sauce.

About me:
i am originally from a mostly hispanic area of Sanantoni, and so have a large background in mexican food, much to the dismay of my husband, who isn't fond of very flavorful or spicy food. i lived in SE texas for a while as well, and learned some about cajun cooking, and the wonder of an all purpose seasoning called tony chachere's. we are currently in new mexico were i have discovered the only cooking rule to be, green chili goes on EVERYTHING.

Zesty Zucchini and Squash

This is a great recipe! It didn’t seem too spicy to me. The green chilies added that nice little kick. I also sautéed the onions and some garlic in the pan just until the onions started to turn translucent before I added everything else in. My boyfriend loved it and I’m sure I’ll be making it again. :)

Aloha Chicken

Reviewed on Aug. 18, 2008 by Tootoolz
Terrific recipe, Amy! I reduced the garlic salt in the marinade, and doubled the sauce recipe as others suggested. I made another couple of modifications to use things that I had on hand. I used a 29 oz. can of sliced peaches instead of the pineapple. ( sorry Amy, a great recipe like this always inspires me to adlib, and I didn't have pineapple! ) I reseved the peach syrup, as others had said that their sauce was too runny. I also chucked in the last 2 ozs. of a jar of mango / pineapple salsa, and a dab of cranberry & fig preserves. When you have dabs of jelly lurking in the fridge, this is a great type recipe to use them up! One other tweak that I did was to add a couple of dashes of worcestershire and a couple of generous squirts of hot chili sauce, as we love things sweet AND spicy. You can usually find hot chili sauce in the chinese food section of your grocery store. It's a very flavorful sauce that isn't real hot unless you use too much! Served this over a bed of white rice and, oh mama, dat's tasty!
