I had wonderful intentions, I did…but words only hold weight when honest intentions are behind them. I think that quote was on a poster in grade school right next to the kitten hanging on a rope or just believing poster. My intentions are honest – my timing is flawed. We’ll just call this an almost 29,000 member celebration in The Cookbook Junkies giveaway or a really early 2017 Cinco de Mayo giveaway! Ole!
What I have for you is this IMUSA Granite Mortar and Pestle for your guacamole needs and those needs beyond guacamole.
Also included are two of Rick Bayless’ books that I picked up Authentic Mexican and Mexican Kitchen. I have these books in my collection and when I spotted them at the thrift store – I grabbed them for you.
GIVEAWAY: To enter this giveaway please leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite Mexican dish. You may leave a comment every day until June 12th when a random winner will be chosen. The giveaway is open to U.S. addresses only and sponsored by me. When we reach 30,000 I have a huge Italian cookbook and tools giveaway for you! Good luck. Random Number Generator picked #74 Robin Chesser. Congratulations!
I love enchiladas especially cheese ones. Fajitas would be second.
This is hard as I love all Mexican food! My favorite would have to be a chile relleno though.
I love chile rellenos, and even used to grow my own poblanos because that was the only way to have or make them in NJ back in the day.
Favorites to make right now are Rick Bayless Skirt Steak Tacos and Tyler Florence Chicken enchiladas with Tomatillo salsa – with guac of course.
Albondigas or elotes!
Nice giveaway! I don’t have even one Mexican cook book, I really need to remedy that. My favorite Mexican dish is one I had at a local restaurant last week. My son and DIL took us there and ordered a simple beef nachos appetizer, but it was literally the best flavor I can ever remember tasting. Come payday we’re going back (daughter and I) to share that appetizer. It was enough to make 4 of us too full to eat our meal, so I’m sure the two of us will have no problem having it for dinner. If only I could duplicate it! I wanted to mention that I’m terribly sorry I’m unable to share these give-a-ways on Facebook. I have an elderly relative who writes every time I accidentally share something and explains why she can’t play the game or make the recipe. She doesn’t really understand how it works. I don’t like upsetting her so I don’t share things that she might take as a request that she do something. I hope you understand. Thanks for all you do!
Not sure how authentic they are, but as the summer approaches, I love fish tacos with cabbage.
Fajitas are my favorited.
Arroz con pollo, thanks Jenny!
Chilequilles
I love tacos and beans. Don’t have any Mexican cookbooks. This would be nice.
I’d eat simple tacos every day. Just pulled pork, tomatillo salsa, a little lettuce and sour cream.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE all mexican food. Have to many favorites to list. The spicier the more favorite it is.
My favorite is Mole anything. Such a complicated sauce!

I love making my own guacamole, and a good margarita to go with it of course 🙂
I LOVE carne asada!
There is a Mexican restaurant about 5 minutes from the house. They make the best burritos. It’s called the Burrito Colorado, it has braised beef in the burrito. Now I’m getting hungry! LOL
Hmm. I really do love salsas.. and guacamole. And Spanish rice. Nice giveaway!
I love anything in a soft corn tortilla! Especially refried beans with a lot of cilantro!
I had an amazing mango tequila cocktail with chile at the most amazing Mexican restaurant in Portland, OR.
The restaurant is Nuestra Cocina and everything on their menu is now my favorite Mexican food. Better than any eaten anywhere! I just randomly found the place on my last trip to Portland.
Love it
Being vegetarian, if it has beans, I will eat it! Sometimes I even make up something and call it Mexican and then watch my REAL Mexican sister in law totally lose it!
Inauthentic, but good: shrimp quesadillas with cilantro.
Love just about anything with black beans. Black bean enchiladas.
I love chicken chimichangas with the chicken gravy!
Tamales stuffed with poblanos and cheese. Just thinking about them is making me hungry!

I love fresh corn tamales.
I love my DIL’s chilequiles
A must need
I love chili verde. When we go to a new place for the first time I try the chili verde. It’s sorta how I rate Mexican restaurants. If they can’t make this at least as good as mine then they’re in trouble. Haha
Fish tacos
Tamales, tacos, enchiladas….love the all 🙂

Chili Rellenos LOVE them. A Mexican restaurant back home makes them and uses a sauce that has raisins in it. I drool thinking about that dish – and its NOT greasy.
Fish tacos!
it’s been a great week so far, hope so for you too!
beautiful day.
Still here
I started going to Felix Mexican Restaurant when I was a little girl. My Mother went there when she was in College. I loved every single thing they had, especially the guacamole. It was so creamy and smooth. They closed about five years ago. I really miss them.
Avocado and tomato salad with cilantro and lime.
Love cilantro in anything.
Enchiladas with beef!
I like it all when served with crema Mexicana
Nothing better than an excellent shrimp quesadilla served with crema, salsa and guacamole. Now I am hungry!
Nothing better than an excellent quesadilla de camarones served with crema, salsa and guacamole. Now I am hungry!

Homemade salsa is the best.

Hubby loves chilaquiles and I have yet to perfect them. I love it all but particulary posole and queso fundido and carnitas.
I really love this dish from central Mexico. You make shrimp patties (little omelets) with enchilada sauce, lentils and rice. It’s really good.
Fish tacos.
Craving for some burritos, quesedillas and tacos 🙂
