Easy Mexican Recipes for weeknights

Hey guys! If you're as tired as me after working 8 hours, the LAST thing you want to do is slave away in the kitchen... I LOVE to cook and on the weekends I can easily cook up breakfast, lunch and dinner but the week nights are a different story.

Sooo I am here to share some ideas of easy Mexican recipes to make through the week. All of these recipes were suggested to me by my Mexican friends & you'll have plenty for leftovers for next day's lunch. I'd also like to note that the first and third recipes are vegetarian and the second can certainly be adjusted to be vegetarian.

The first recipe I want to share is from "Nathan's comida blog", Platano Frito (< click for recipe).

Platano Frito is cooked by Mexicans but I have Puerto Rican and Cuban friends who also cook them and call them different names, although it's the same food ;) ENJOY!

This second recipe is a new plate called "gorditas" I just tried these  for the first time this past Sunday.

OMG...I wish I would've known about these sooner. They are amazing and very filling. I looked up several recipes and girlichef (< click for recipe) had the best one with great step by step pictures. Delicious!

Last, but certainly not least are "molletes". This is a vegetarian dish but very filling.

I was actually taught how to make these by my husband but I'll provide a great tutorial link below. We make them A LOT. They literally take 15 minutes to make. I am linking you guys to the "The other side of the tortilla" blog for the recipe for a great step by step tutorial with photos!

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'd love feedback of easy recipe ideas you all have. Please comment if you would like to share! ^_^

Take care. xo.
