Mexican

Most of these Mexican recipes are passed down from my Mom's side and are so delicious and full of flavor. From authentic Mexican dishes to Tex Mex, I love to cook and eat it all.

Some of my favorite Mexican dinners on this page are my Chicken and Shrimp Fajitas, my Pork Birria Tacos, and my Doña Maria Chicken Mole.

Hi, I'm Maxine Ciampa!

I'm a Mexican American recipe creator based in Melbourne, Florida, sharing approachable Mexican, Latin, and Italian recipes.

I grew up cooking with my Mexican mom, and my time living in Mexico, Spain, Texas, and New York City continues to inspire the food I make today. Every recipe is tested in my kitchen—and taste-tested by my husband, Tom!
