Fiber-packed pinto beans are slightly sweeter than black beans but will also work well with the flavors in these mini veggie burgers.

Classic posole, a delicious slow-simmered Mexican pork stew, is typically a time-consuming labor of love. But this one gives you all the comfort and flavor of the old-world version made in your slow cooker.

This Mexican-inspired meal features one of our favorite ingredients, avocado! Instant brown rice and quick-cooking chicken breast halves help it all come together in just 30 minutes.

A kid favorite gets a grown-up makeover in this rich and cheesy seafood mac. Serving the ramekins next to a sweet and nutty green salad makes for a spectacular presentation.

No candy pieces here. These thumbprint cookies are topped with a delicious peanut butter-chocolate filling.
