Have you ever escabeche ‘d? I think my biggest takeaway from being a Rick Bayless devotee has been the discovery of dishes that use vinegar.
Use vinegar to either cook in or marinate in. I wouldn’t call it exactly “pickling”, but it sure adds a wonderful zing to your Mexican dish.
The simplest way to enjoy this method is to simply toss lettuce with a little red wine vinegar before sprinkling on your favorite taco recipe. Try it sometime – you’ll be glad you did.
And, would you like an easy method to make your own tostada shells from soft corn or flour tortillas. So easy! And so much better than packaged tostada shells.
