Oregano – McGuire's Recipes

Tamales, Black Bean

I am not sure where we found this recipe, but it is one of our top favorites. The tamales do take a good afternoon to prepare, but there is often extra to share or to freeze.

Look for the corn husks at a Mexican store if there is one near you. Soak the dried beans over night before cooking, or see notes to use canned beans. Be sure to soak the corn husks a few hours ahead of time. Homemade tomatillo sauce is recommended.

Tomato Soup

Much better than store bought.

Enchilada Sauce

Instead of buying enchilada sauce, this is an easy recipe to make your own. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.

Chili Powder

I do not remember where we got this recipe, but we use it often. Feel free to replace some of the cayenne pepper with ground chipotle peppers if you would like.
