Marcela Valladolid Recipes

Crispy Baked Potato

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Make holes all around the potato with a fork, then rub it with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Put a metal skewer through the center of the potato lengthwise, put the potato in the oven and position a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drippings. Bake until the potato is cooked for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Serve immediately with desired toppings.

 Beer-Marinated Grilled Skirt Steak

Ingredients

• 1 orange, thinly sliced with peel
• 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, halved and smashed
• 2 1/4 pounds skirt steak
• Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
• 1 cup light-colored beer (preferably lager style)
• 1/2 cup soy sauce

Directions

• In a wide, shallow glass baking dish, scatter half of the orange slices, half of the onion slices and half of the garlic pieces on the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the steak all over with salt and pepper and put in the dish on top of the orange and onion slices. Scatter the remaining orange, onion, and garlic over the steak and pour in the beer and soy sauce. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Prepare a barbeque on medium-high heat or preheat a broiler. Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve as desired.

Baja Style Fish Tacos

Ingredients

• Beer Batter:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup dark Mexican beer*
• Cream Sauce:
  1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 2/3 cup Mexican crema** or sour cream
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Fish Tacos:
  Oil, for frying
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
• 2 pounds skinned halibut cut into 5 by 1/2-inch strips
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Corn tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 2 cups tomatillo salsa (store-bought or homemade) for garnish, optional
• Pickled jalapenos, for garnish, optional

Directions

For the Beer Batter:

• Mix the flour, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Gradually add in the beer while whisking. Set aside and let the batter rest for 15 minutes before using it.
• For Cream Sauce:
  Add the mayonnaise and crema to a medium bowl. Whisk in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and water. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper (can be made 3 days ahead, covered and refrigerated).
• For the Fish:
  In a large skillet, over medium heat, add enough oil to reach a depth of 1-inch. Heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F or when the end of a wooden spoon sizzles when inserted into the oil.
• On a large plate, combine the flour and salt. Season the fish pieces all over with salt and pepper and coat with the flour. Working in batches, dip the fillets in the beer batter and coat on both sides. Fry in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Make tacos with the tortillas and fish and top each with cream, shredded cabbage, tomatillo salsa, and pickled jalapenos, if desired.

Cook’s Note: Crack open a cold Mexican cerveza like a Negra Modelo or a 2 Equis (XX) Amber to make this tasty beer batter, which will change the way you think about fried fish! You can use it for vegetables, too.
Cook’s Note: Mexican Crema is Mexico’s version of creme fraiche and is found at many supermarkets and can easily be substituted with sour cream.

Tilapia Ceviche

Ingredients

• 2 pounds tilapia fillets, finely diced* see Cook’s Note
• 1 cup lime juice (about 8 large limes)
• 1/2 cup seeded chopped tomato
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 serrano chile, optional
• Mayonnaise, for spreading
• 1/2 cup clam-tomato juice (recommended: Clamato), optional
• 1 tablespoon bottled hot sauce (recommended: Huichol), optional
• 1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely diced
• Grilled Tostadas, recipe follows, or 6 purchased tostadas
• 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

• Put the tilapia in a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the fish and mix gently to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until the fish is white throughout, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from the refrigerator and drain off the lime juice, gently squeezing the fish with your hands. Discard the lime juice. Add the tomato, cucumber, onion, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the clam-tomato juice and the hot sauce and chili, if using.
• Spread the tostadas generously with mayonnaise and top with the ceviche. Arrange the avocado slices on top of the ceviche and serve immediately with the lime wedges alongside.
• Grilled Tostadas:
  Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
• Put the tortillas on the grill or grill pan, and let them dry out until they are crunchy. Purchased tostadas can be substituted.

Cook’s Note
The fish is easiest to dice when it is partially frozen; this also makes for a much cleaner presentation. Use a very sharp knife.

Tres Leches Cake

• Nonstick cooking spray, for the cake pan
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the cake pan
• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites until frothy. With the mixer running, gradually add the sugar and beat to stiff peaks. Beat in the yolks, 1 at a time, blending well after each addition. Add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the whole milk in 2 additions.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool the cake slightly, about 10 minutes, then invert onto a platter with 1-inch high sides.
