I am rather new here, so do not know if anyone ever wondered about a topic subject on recipes commonly found in our Parasio, Puerto Vallarta, Jaliscano cuisine. I am posting one here, which you find at some local taco stands. My recent two favs are the one nicknamed Brother-in-law in OT/SS kitty-corner from Cafe San Angel, and the one up east right by the parking lot of Farmacia Guadalajara, called the Little Ant.
Tacos de Arrachera al Carbon
Basic grilled skirt steak tacos
2 medium white onions, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds (keep the rounds intact for easy grilling)
3 cloves garlic (peeled and roughly chopped)
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon cumin (preferably freshly ground)
salt
1 lb beef skirt steak, trimmed of surface fat as well as silverskin
olive oil, for brushing the onions and meat
12 warm fresh corn tortillas
lime wedge, for serving
1. Marinate the meat for at least one hour in a mixture of 1/2 onion and the garlic, lime juice, cumin and a 1/2 teaspoon salt.
2. Grill peppers and onion over open flame until blackened.
3. Remove excess marinade, oil steak lightly and grill.
4. (1 1/2- 2 minutes for medium rare) Cut steak into strips making sure to cut against the grain.
5. Combine with grilled onions and peppers.
6. Serve with Corn Tortillas.
7. Sprinkle just before serving with lime wedges

Re:Recipes

Re:Recipes
Like Chuck said ! Sounds easy to prepare too.
Re:Recipes
You read my mind...I was just going to suggest Recipes or Recipes Wanted as a new topic to add...we just got back from PV on Saturday...I always love the food but I especially love Chilaquiles...mostly just in rojo sauce...I know this is simple, but I would love to get an authentic recipe...not with monterey jack cheese and sour cream...I need amounts of queso anejo and monchego cheese used I can figure out how much crema to substitute for sour cream...also...when you get panfried huachanago is the sauce just garlic butter...it seems the garlic is braised in butter and oil for a long time and then used to fry the fish in...any one living there, please let me know!
I think we need a recipe topic!

Re:Recipes
I think each recipe should be added as a new topic. That way people will be able to comment and add on each one separately.
Just an idea

Grilled Red Snapper
Melt butter and saute garlic in it until soft, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Cut in half 2 limes and squeeze the lime juice into the garlic butter. Using a basting brush, coat both sides of each fish or fillet with the butter mixture. Sprinkle fish seasoning and salt evenly over fish to season. Place fish directly on your tinfoil-covered grill & grill snapper for about 10 minutes, basting occasionally with the remaining butter sauce. Carefully turn the fish on the grill and cook another 10 minutes. When completely cooked, the flesh should be opaque in color and easy to flake with a fork. Garnish with thin slices of the 3rd lime. 1/2 Tsp. Salt
