Mexican food is more than just tacos. But in order to understand its complexity and richness, you must step inside food blogger Isabel Orozco-Moore’s kitchen first.
βItβs full of rich flavors that are as diverse as the country itself,β said Orozco-Moore in an interview with National Geographic. Based in Oklahoma City, Orozco-Moore is a first-generation Mexican-American and grew up eating authentic home-cooked Mexican meals every day.
One of her fondest memories is of her mother’s enchiladas: βMy momβs red enchiladas will always have a special place in my heart,β she gushed.
She explained that the sauce is made with a blend of guajillo, ancho and arbol chilies, and a small piece of Mexican chocolate. “No fancy stuffing either,” she says, “just a handful of Mexican cheese and diced onions.β
Fully committed to the Mexican kitchen, Orozco-Moore shares her recipes with a growing number of followers online, bridging the gap between Mexican and American food cultures. Some recent recipes on her blog, Isabel Eats, include Mexican stuffed peppers and a healthy avocado salad.
Moreover, her Instagram pageβfilled with recipes, videos, and appetizing photosβhas got us drooling!
