Gran Luchito Mexican
Summer recipes require little time and effort, so Mexicans eat light food in the summer, not long slow cooked meals in the kitchen. Cold spicy salads and salsas, grilled meats, fried fish, and tacos are the main components!
Our carne asada tacos, pollo asado recipe, chipotle chilli king prawns, our Mexican burger recipe, bbq corn and our grilled avocado with chipotle prawns.
We'd have to say our recipes for pico de gallo, some homemade guacamole, Mexican coleslaw, BBQ corn, Mexican bean salad, and our Mexican green beans.
It's perfect for summer grilling, that's why! Carne Asada literally means Grilled Meat. It's therefore best to do outside, on the BBQ, and it's then sliced thinly and served in tacos, with lots of pico de gallo.
